about emily

Hi. I’m Emily, and I live, work, and play here. My husband Pete and I are home improvement enthusiasts living a very merry do-it-yourself lifestyle, intent on having a home that’s suitable for us, designed for us, and adaptable for our family. We’re currently in Rochester, NY, and if you want to see how our homes have evolved, check out the before + after section.

Merrypad translates to Happy Home. In 2010, I began to document activities relating to my first home for out of town friends and family. In 2011, I began developing content for HGTV and DIY Network – I even worked on video content with them in the summer of 2014. I’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with companies such as Black & Decker, Delta Faucet, Legrand, Sherwin-Williams, and many more.
