We had the good fortune of connecting with Brad & Tim and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brad & Tim, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Craft Grooms wasn’t conceived of as a business, but rather a way for us to showcase our projects to friends and family. Unexpectedly, it just took off! Our followers started growing, and people simply became more and more interested in not only what we were doing, but how we were doing it.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As the Craft Grooms, we share our real life DIY, Craft, Home, Baking, and Dad projects. We have champagne taste on a beer budget. So we’re proud to share our project successes but also our project fails. It shows our followers we are real and not just filtering our posts so everything we do looks perfect. Real families, on real budgets want to make their homes look nice and hopefully we’re able to share a few of our tricks through Craft Grooms.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Our go to dinner experience for us, or anyone who is visiting, is a trip to The Bull Pen, Redondo Beach. It is a family-owned, fine dining restaurant and bar that has been open since 1948. The Famous Bull Pen Burger is a must but so is anything else on the menu. It’s a small place with a big heart, and that why we’ve celebrated numerous special occasions there.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We’re so appreciative of not only our friends and family, but especially our followers. So many of them reach out sharing their love, support, and interest in our projects. Without our followers, Craft Grooms wouldn’t have grown or reached the success that it has.
