Sherry Petersik is an American author and blogger, known for her work with her husband, John Petersik, on the popular DIY blog Young House Love. Together, they have documented their home improvement adventures, leading to the creation of a New York Times–bestselling book of the same name. Their projects and designs have been featured in product lines available at major retailers like Target and Home Depot.

Sherry and John reside in Richmond, Virginia, with their two young children and a spirited Chihuahua named Burger. Their journey began in New York City in 2005, where they met while working at an advertising agency. Over time, their passion for DIY projects grew, eventually leading them to start their blog in 2007, initially focusing on updates to their first home and even their DIY backyard wedding.

The Petersiks have renovated seven homes, completed over 3,000 projects, and expanded into various other ventures, including writing books and designing product lines. They previously managed this as a full-time career, transitioning from their earlier roles in writing and marketing.

In 2020, they made a significant lifestyle change by downsizing from a large home in Richmond to a smaller house by the beach in Northwest Florida. This move was motivated by a desire for a simpler, more manageable lifestyle, allowing them more time to enjoy family life and the local community. They continue to share their experiences and insights on their blog, emphasizing contentment and mindful living.
