Interior Designer Reacts to DIY TikToks (These are ROUGH)

[@RobinLecter]

My problem with D.I.Y.s is that now-a-days they're rarely done in forever homes. Whenever I see them done, it's alway from someone that plans to resell when they find/have the funds for their forever home or by flippers. If you D.I.Y. stuff in the home you plan to grow old in, cool! Good for you! Happy you made stuff and saved some cash! But if this is a home you know you won't be growing old in, then kick rocks... Whatever D.I.Y. that barely holds on is going to be seen a feature for the potential buyers , then they'll eventually find themselves fixing the result of your weekend of creativity. It's only "quirky" and "adds character" if it's the home you grow old in. Otherwise it becomes "shabby workmanship".

[@annak804]

Unless you are doing furniture

[@ApostlicNinjaGirl]

I dunno. I’m in my not-forever-home because I can’t afford my forever home yet. Probably in 10-15 years we’ll build it. But I’m covering my home in DIYs. I don’t think it matters in a few instances, and mine is one. I live in a cheap double wide manufactured home. All the finishings, basically everything, is super cheaply and poorly done. My husband and I replaced the floors and tiled the bathrooms, now we’re going to start working on the backsplash in the kitchen. I’ve painted every single wall in this house. We built and put up cabinets in the laundry room, and I made custom wallpaper for it. We tore out the bath tub in the master bath and built a wall to put in a second closet. I painted a mural on three walls and built a paper mache tree in one. I’ve repainted two pieces of furniture, one for the master bath and one for a nursery. I made specialty shelves for the master bath, and I’m going to build some extra cabinetry for the kitchen, and we’ll probably replace the countertops ourselves eventually. My home had little value to start with, so I don’t think it matters. Besides, why should I live in a place I find drab and ugly for 10-15 years just because I can’t afford my forever home yet?

[@katiekat2074]

@@ApostlicNinjaGirlI think it’s great to DIY in a home you plan on living in for an extended period of time even if it’s not your forever home. I think the problem of DIY comes when it’s just a house flipper trying to dress up their crappy/cheap workmanship by calling it DIY and then reselling the home for more because of their “improvements”.

Idk sometimes it's perspective. One person's treasure is another person's trash. After having remodeled a house, even the pros suck at it.

[@generalcodsworth4417]

When I think good DIY, I often think of furniture or decorative pieces that are easy to take with you or throw out if they break. Finding a damaged old coffee table and giving it new life. Taking some scrap from another project and making wall art. Turning a bottle into a unique lamp. When it comes to permanent installation, I'd really want to get a professional of some kind to help, especially if it is a home I plan to spend decades in, because I want my stuff to be high quality and last

As an architect who buys and rehabs houses, I absolutely refuse to purchase any home that has a significant amount of DIY. It becomes a disaster when trying to fix everything they did, and there's typically so much more crap work that you didn't even notice until getting into the rehab process. Stay away from other people's projects who have no idea how to do the work.

[@jazdragen]

There's so much garbage being promoted as "must have" or "just makes sense" and DIYers and homebuyers have no idea about future maintenance issues, or the fact that their DIY is compromising some other aspect of the home's performance. People for some reason feel more accomplished when they do a project with zero knowledge of what they should be doing and seem to think educating themselves beforehand loses them internet street cred.

We thought our ceiling was fine, so we planned to paint it only. Turns out the builder put newspapers under part of the plaster, and when they got wet, the ceiling bubbled.

Get yourself a cheaper version from a different company, there are loads - ask for cel blinds or honeycomb blinds, they'll know what you're talking about. Ask about the durability of the hardware, make sure the fabric quality is good and won't wrinkle or tear. They're also great for climate control and weirdly shaped windows. Would recommend. One of my favorite window treatments.

The epoxy floor reminds me of a photo I once saw of a pretty elaborate epoxy floor in a kitchen. There was a stream/creek winding across the floor with rocks on each side. There were what looked like fake koi made to look like they were swimming around. There was greenery scattered about as well. The whole thing was covered in quite a thick layer of epoxy… It was interesting but very misplaced. Would have looked descent as wall art though.

[@NicoleKing-c4n]

I don't completely dislike the idea of the epoxy floor. I get that they were trying to get a seamless no grout look and to achieve it with tiles is very difficult. But I think it may be more useful in a laundry area or mud room where your grout typically can get very dirty very quickly.

I was stupid and did epoxy countertops 🤦‍♀️ we got it professionally done and of course we went white. I asked the guy who did it like 100x about it yellowing and he told me only if the sun directly hits it (our kitchen doesn’t get any sun) so we did it. Within 6 months it started yellowing. They yellow from heat, they stain extremely easy and even transfer bag logos on it. When it’s warm a simple tin will leave an indent. Totally do not recommend anything done in epoxy.

If he used the cheap plywood on the bottom layered that with a nicer plywood on the top with some edge banding, he'd have taken it to the next level. Some poly on top of the gel stain would've waterproofed the top, smoothed it significantly, and sent him into the stratosphere. That would actually be a coffee table that someone would be proud to use for years to come. Because he cheaped out a bit too much, it still looks like a DIY special; but there's a TON of promise in the design.

It’s ugly asf. He has bad taste.

I have a question on the diy framing. Did you mean she should have done floor to ceiling? Or the entire room? I’m thinking of doing a feature wall.

[@katkat5420]

Don't do it. I'm house shopping right now and they are all over the place. They feel dated and I'm sure you will get tired of something like that more quickly than a plain old wall

[@vaderladyl]

It should be floor to ceiling or middle of wall to floor and all around the room.

[@vaderladyl]

Those are actually timeless. What you think is dated is because they have been overdone by everybody@@katkat5420

[@rarelyobscure]

I like your implied staaaaaar

Why would anyone wanna have fake plane seats in a kitchen?😂

Lone Fox is a genius... but the particle board just looks cheap. Maybe rounding the edges slightly more and even using wood filler to even out the indentations.

Don’t make fun of Ms Jackie Siegel like that !! Honestly would love to see you react to her house haha

That last one I would have glass pn top on the wood so cleaning it would be easier

Home upgrades - need those blinds! DIY Disaster video is just depressing because clearly they tried - sometimes people are too poor to just hire someone or do a better job on their projects. The door trim clip is hilarious bc that's just plain laziness and trim is one of the easiest things to do correctly - wouldn't have cost anything additional to miter those corners. Lonefox is my favorite DIYer!

"Minimalist trim" just looks like when you fold the edge of a sheet of paper over. It makes the wall look flat, and not in a good way. It's almost like when someone who doesn't know perspective tried to draw something with depth, but it just looks 2-D. 0/10, would not ever recommend.
