My name is Nicole Q-Schmitz and I’m the DIY blogger behind this website, Madness and Method.

Sometimes I share instructions, tips and/or how-to photos of the different projects I work on.  I am not responsible for the projects or actions you do and cannot be held responsible for any mistakes, injuries etc.

Always exercise caution, wear safety and protective gear, and be properly trained on any tools you may use – hire help when you need it.  Please remember: it’s better to be safe than sorry.
