| Answer: Hi Jason! It depends on which shows you are watching and on how much time and patience you've got. In my experience, home improvement and interior design projects are not hard. They are time-consuming, though, and many of them require patience to ensure that you get nice, tidy results. Generally, the shows in which the homeowners do a considerable portion of the projects themselves, with assistance from the experts, should have good, workable projects. A lot of shows feature carpenters that come in and do some of the projects, such as constructing custom seating or building TV cabinets. If you see a carpenter doing the project, that's usually a good sign that it would be tough to do yourself. Projects that are easier to handle include painting walls and furniture, staining and varnishing, making curtains and throw pillows, and changing out doorknobs and handles on cabinets. Most television channels have their own websites, which usually feature more detailed directions for the projects you see on the shows. Take a look at the projects online. They should provide you with a list of tools you'll need to complete them, as well as step-by-step directions, preferably with pictures. This should give you a good idea of whether or not you'll be able to tackle the project at home. |
