  You are just getting your toes wet in the world of DIY decor or maybe you just need some encouragement. You clearly have a desire to re-create beauty and not everyone has that in them. You don’t just want to hire everything out or buy everything things already finished. The process is intriguing to you and you want to learn more. Because you love the thought of hand making and changing out decor in your home, I would suggest surrounding yourself with good design via design blogs and Pinterest. Take classes to improve your skills and don't be afraid to just try things. Good designers make mistakes and return items just like everyone else. It's all part of the design process. It's the ones who keep trying that end up getting really good at their trade! Oh, and take pictures of your home, you will be amazed at how much a home improves even in one year when someone in it is committed to making it more beautiful.
