Things just happen when a couple decides to tear up walls in their house. Dust, eating out, staying up late and losing the tape measure continually to just name a few. Of course these things happen in our own home.
Then we got out. We escaped the mayhem.
Then it happened.
A person cannot really escape the DIY mentality once they have done a DIY project.
Here are the top 10 observations that are now noticed…in any store, church, funeral home, store, house and restaurant.
- We now notice how far apart recessed lighting is on any ceiling.
- We now notice the color of grout.
- We now notice paint drips and lines left from the paint roller.
- We now notice if someone was a good tape and floater.
- We now notice paint combinations.
- We now notice the high price some people pay when they don’t DIY.
- We now notice that when in the middle of a remodel, we could care less who comes over because of house is continually a mess.
- We now notice spacing between floor tiles.
- We now notice trim anywhere!
- We now look at everyone’s granite or countertops!
I wonder if there is a natural remedy to this DIY-observation syndrome.
What do you notice when you leave your DIY refuge aka home?

Blessings to you! You are loved!
I notice light switch and outlet covers. Why have stark white covers on a dark wall? It is so easy to dip them in the paint and let air dry on a rack so they are completely without brush marks.
SO true! My husband’s best friend is a contractor and J works with him a lot. Now, anytime we go anywhere I hear about various construction elements and how much they cost!
Oh yes! I also notice how well someone does a mitered corner, things like floor trims and ceiling trims, how they incorporate the fridge and if a sink is over-mount or under-mount. It never goes away.
But the good news is, it’s really fun to show your DIY project to another DIYer because they truly appreciate all of those things you mentioned. Lisa~
