Don’t let anyone tell you that they don’t have any DIY fears because they’d be lying to you. The truth is that DIY is wrought with fear because there are so many things that can go wrong. Last time I checked, HGTV magazine doesn’t tell you that part when you see its brightly colored collections of prettiness splashed all over the pages. Everything looks doable. Easy. Affordable.

But what about when you’ve never tackled a project before? What if you’re a total newbie? What if you’ve got a limited amount of money or materials and YOU.CANNOT.MESS.THIS.UP?

So how do you learn not to be scared of DIY? That’s what we’re going to talk about in this episode!

Let’s jump right in!
