How did you teach yourself and find inspiration for your DIY home projects, especially with a newborn in tow?

I’m new around here but I’ve been loving all the helpful tips I find while scrolling every night.
I’ve learned a lot from YouTube, or I guess you could say I’m self-taught from online tutorials. 😅
I’ve tackled a few projects over the past year, but one of my favorites was transforming the coral room. It used to be a doorway connecting our closet and bedroom, which was a bit awkward since you could practically see our bed from the front door. 😳
Last Christmas, I really wanted to add a fireplace and mantle, but I was newly pregnant and feeling too sick to tackle the project. Now that I have a newborn, I finally decided to give it a go, and I’m so thrilled with how it turned out!
Looks great day. Night
I really like it, and now that the closet/doorway is gone, the space is much more usable. It looks beautiful!
Great job! You never know until you try.
I’ve been doing something similar. My home is a 1991 Fairmont mobile home that has been neglected. As a single mother, I need to fix it up to avoid homelessness. I’m not great with tools but hoping to learn!
