WHAT I LEARNED...

You can do anything if you put your mind to it. YouTube has great tutorials on everything. I even built myself a pergola outside and it’s still standing – go me!

Planning is essential. I’m glad I didn’t rush into designing the kitchen. I planned it out so the space wouldn’t just look good, but would work really well for me in a practical sense.

It’s so much fun planning and decorating a house on your own. I got to make all the decisions with no compromise!
