Why do I always do this?

Ugh. I've done that before, too.

Pinterest was evil to me while on Mat Leave last summer. I'd find "projects" to do while nursing or baby was sleeping, pin and try later. After spending lots of $$$, nothing really looked great. I have a set of three scrap book paper decoupage pieces in my dining room that I made that when my MIL saw them asked if I made them, because "I could tell you didn't buy them from the store,"

Absolutely. Instead of buying black frames with mats already in them for my gallery wall I buy frames at thrift stores, spray paint them black and buy mats at the craft store. It ends up way more expensive somehow (although I like the eclectic look of mismatched frames). I also recently built myself a desk. It cost $300 in materials and doesn't look anywhere near $300 nice. I should have just bought the $500 desk I liked.
