Investing in your skills and tool collection is worth its weight in gold. 20-40% of a remodel project cost using a contractor is in labor alone. Sometimes it is totally worth it to hire work out, but I also believe that everyone is capable of learning how to DIY! And if your budget is small, doing it yourself gives you more room in your budget for bigger designs.Â
No one cares more about your home than you do.
Do you ever feel like there’s this mysterious eye others have – knowing how to put things together in a room to make it beautiful?Â
“How did they know that would look good there?“
You notice when you walk into their home that it feels peaceful and collected. Just, good. Something feels right. You want to spend time there.Â
But what is it, exactly, that creates those feelings? And how the heck do you make your own home spark those feelings too?
