I love to see little things in peoples homes that I truly admire. It’s never a “ha, look at that!” it’s a “oh, thank goodness, it’s not just me!” Love how real you keep things. 😉

I work full time and volunteer and have to small children, so I had no time to spend on this. I barely measured, I didn’t tape off, I didn’t use a level, I didn’t credit card my tape so my paint lines would be perfect.

Sure, my paint lines are somewhat splotchy and my 3D cube design is not exactly 3D and my maze lines are crooked… But you know what? I couldn’t care less. I think it looks charming. The time I would have spent is just not worth it.

Sometimes the idea of even writing a blog post I question myself about every detail, like did I mention this, or refer to that correctly? It can be intimidating but I have realized that this is a fear I’m letting rule over me. So I’m pressing on and taking myself a little less seriously because I want my blog post to be good but I know that they all do not have to be great. Connie

Forgot this part…. And yes people should be less concerned with making things perfect !! What’s important is the doing and the more you do, the quicker and the better your creative skills will be …I was hired because of my perfectionism and skill w “faking” beautiful, It’s no different than photo shopped and airbrushed people in Hollywood and celebrities. Beautiful things are treated the same way and glamorized for us to hope and dream about- even in the representations we’re hiding little mistakes and hoping people don’t see them !

Lol most every important shoot I was on that would be going to camera, had unfinished details because we were under such short time crunches (or had already been up all night for 24 hours- I can’t tell you how many commercials I’ve done that had wet paint when they were shot! )…and thank God the big boss didn’t catch them or there would’ve been hell to pay Haha.

I am the diy-er in my family and have tackled most of the projects around the house that need doing, either out of necessity or just because I want it pretty. BUT there are a few things I have felt crippled from starting because I’m terrified it won’t be perfect!! Thank you SO much for this reminder! I’m going to just go for it!!
