DIY
A few months ago Justin and I went through the design center and had to pick out every single detail for our home. This was both exciting and overwhelming . I plan for EVERYTHING, but I was not prepared to make decisions like: How many outlets do you want for the kitchen? Where do you want them? Do you want them horizontal or vertical? I had no idea! Most of the other questions they asked, however, we were prepared for. Do you want to upgrade the floors? "No thank you". Do you want to add a kitchen backsplash? "No thank you"(you get the point). This was our go-to answer for a few different reasons. 1. I'm super picky (surprise, I know!). We had already gone to the design center and looked at their choices for wood floors and backsplash, no thank you. 2. Justin is SUPER talented. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Right? 3. We try to be as smart with our money as possible. Why would we settle on a choice we don't love and pay too much money for it when we could do it ourselves. So we said, "No thank you" a lot that day. This meant on closing day when we got our keys we walked into our first home and tore it apart. The entire house was covered in brand new carpet and tile and we tore up every single piece (Don't worry, we donated all of it). We made our brand new home look like a construction site again! Our builder thought we were crazy, which we might be, but I could not be happier with how our DIY projects have come out so far.
