Cole Whitaker

Cole Whitaker is a home and lifestyle writer who focuses on the practical challenges that come with maintaining, improving, and enjoying a home. He covers DIY projects, home maintenance, repairs, organization, outdoor spaces, tools, and straightforward upgrades that can make a house more comfortable and functional, along with real-world topics like common plumbing problems, keeping appliances running longer, and protecting a home's long-term value. Cole also likes digging into practical, slightly unexpected ideas — repurposing everyday items like leftover coffee grounds, spotting the hidden spots in a house that attract bugs or germs, and pointing out habits that quietly cost homeowners money. Cole particularly enjoys finding realistic solutions for homeowners who want to improve their space without spending a fortune or taking on unnecessarily complicated projects. Outside of writing, Cole enjoys tackling weekend projects around the house, tinkering with tools in the garage, and getting outdoors whenever he has the chance. He is also the type of person who rarely passes up an excuse to hunt for a good deal at a hardware store or flea market, or spend an afternoon figuring out how to fix something himself instead of calling in help. When there's a game on, Cole is usually hosting friends for it, grill going and something on the smoker, and he's been known to turn a simple cookout into an all-day project of its own. On quieter days, he'd rather be outside — walking the neighborhood, working in the yard, or planning the next home project he's talked himself into.
