For many homeowners, DIY projects have become all the rage with the many home improvement shows, Home Depot classes and Pinterest pages peeking your interest. So here are a few quick tips to find out if DIY is for you.
1. Know Thyself! If you don’t have a proclivity towards all things hands on, artsy and time consuming, take it from me, Stay Away! (Thursday’s tip will be for people like me!)
2. Identify Your Need: If you do have the personality and penchant for DIY, identify the projects you need to accomplish and take them on one at a time.
3. Research: Take the time to research all retailers and/or wholesalers who may provide the supplies and items you need to complete your project. The prices can change drastically from your big box store to a wholesaler who specializes in the item(s) you need.
4. Invest: You are not only beautifying your home, you are adding appreciation to your investment, don’t cut corners with respect to your finished product.
