Hi Kristi — I totally agree that DIY is NOT a trend. My family has been DIYers from the time my grandparents immigrated here — not only because of expense but especially to make it ‘our way’. I love seeing knock-offs that DIYers make that are no different than what a store may sell for double, triple, or more than it costs to make.

Also, I had trouble using your new ‘link party’ button so I used your regular one.
Thanks for hosting a wonderful party.

DIY is NOT a trend, nor will it ever be considered tired, or “over”. DIY is for those of us who have visions of creativity, but not enough time (and in my case, skill) to make art a full-time job. I think what has designer’s upset is homeowner’s giving it a go on their own. Economy is tight, we all know that. Designer’s rates are high -relative to most incomes – but that doesn’t mean we all don’t want to change and improve the look of our home. We just don’t want to break the bank. I love DIY. Gives me tremendous satisfaction. We’re working on a bedroom redo right now, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out. What I do think should be over, is shoddy workmanship – the kind I see on Design on a Dime! That show gives DIY a bad name.

Diy is here to stay as long as people are prepared to learn new skills and save money . Essential with the economic climate we are in on both sides of the pond at present !
