DIY with a vengeance!

  • **Find inspiration....rather than pore over interior design books and magazines....when you see something you like, find a way to make it!**
  • **Be frugal; learn to live better with less...**
  • **Prefer imperfection**
  • **Be fearless about DIY. Get your hands on the right tools, figure out how to do projects, save money, make it custom, reap the satisfaction!**
  • **Give it a HUMAN TOUCH (thanks Bruce). If you do buy furnishings, make them handmade pieces and find out who made them and where they came from!**
  • **Don't accept things as they are...make them over, make them yours! Evolution!**
