Ever been searching around Pinterest for some fun and easy
ways to decorate or change up things around your house? It’s a great website
for DYI projects and stylish ideas. Most of the time the website even provides
step-by-step directions, so that your final piece perfectly resembles the one
in the picture. But let’s be honest, how often does that happen? Obviously the
person that came up with this creative, crafty idea is pretty artistic, but
that doesn’t mean you possess that same artistic gene! Okay, so maybe it’s not
that hard when you’re making a wreath out of cranberries for the holidays, or
turning an old window seal into a picture frame. But what if you’re looking for
ways to make your own chandelier out of a broken mirror, or create your own
shutters from some rustic pieces of barn wood? Hm, not as easy peasy as those
1,2, 3 steps make it sound is it?
Not to mention when it comes to a handy man project like
this there is no doubt there will be many more than three easy steps. First
you’ll have to measure your windows, and make sure you saw the pieces of wood
to perfectly fit each one. Then you’ll have to strip the old, chipping paint
and sand down those splintering pieces of barn wood before you can even begin
your actual project. Painting is the fun part, but you’ll have to find the
exact color, order it, pick it up, and buy the right brushes. Gosh, it seems
like that was a lot of work for what Pinterest made seem like such a simple
project, and you aren’t even half way done yet! Just because you’re homemade
shutters somewhat resemble that pretty Pinterest picture doesn’t mean they’ll
just jump onto the house themselves!
I guess you could spend hours watching YouTube videos,
pausing the demonstration every 30 seconds trying to follow along with this
probably very experienced instructor. It will be ten minutes into the video
before you realize you have the wrong size screws and/or screw driver. Even a
five-minute video could have your head spinning after you’ve watched it 12
times! If you’re really lucky your
husband may be able to figure it out, but that doesn’t mean the installation
will withstand even the first sizable thunderstorm that comes your way.
