4. Try different color shade combinations. If you're using primarily green in bathroom design, try both a light and dark shade as previously mentioned. Test colors out though, because sometimes one shade doesn't sit well next to another. Sometimes you can tell this instinctively by holding two items of different shades together in store, but other times you'll need to actually buy items and test them in actual room itself. Anything that doesn't quite look or feel right in overall room design can simply be returned to store.

5. Work with what you have. In our bathroom decor example, shades of green might not work well if you have pink walls and aren't able to change them when you're redecorating. If you have deep, dark wood cabinets and other accessories, darker green shades might make room seem a bit too heavy and dark once you have all of new decorations in place.

6. Don't be afraid to try mixing decor styles. It's ok to have a Southwestern style towel set in same bathroom as a seaside designed shower curtain for instance, because both styles tend to use earth toned colors.

7. Last but not least: If you can't find decor styles you like at regular stores, try shopping around at yard sales and flea markets. Even if you find just one interesting or unique piece that really catches your attention - that's a place to start. You can create an entire room's unique design and decor style by simply working from color and style of that one piece!

Remember that decorating your home is all about you. Your likes, dislikes, and lifestyle are what's most important. So be sure to inject a little bit of your own personality into decor of your home, and your friends and family will be envious of your unique, stylish look!

The second step is to know your own ability. Do you have a history with type of project you are working on? If not, did you do your research and homework prior to executing project physically? How much of project do you really know? In example, my wife who already placed herself in step one by default, clearly saw that I did not have a past history or that I did not do any type of research prior to physically executing project. She knew I was flying blind, armed with only theories of operation so that I could sound intelligent when talking about project. Recognizing this, she allowed me time to do research, and saw that my direction was not headed towards desired results. She saw that I did not have skill to fix appliance. Do you have ability to plan and/or understand fully project execution and steps order to complete project correctly?

The third step is to know if you have correct tools. If you did do your research and you do know how to properly execute a project, evaluate if you have proper tools. Do not take short cuts and use tools in a different manner than they were designed for. Make sure that if you do purchase new tools, that you completely understand how to use them. Along this same line, if project requires a certification of inspection, this also falls in same category as a tool needed to complete project. In example, I did not have all tools needed to even troubleshoot problem, which led to a majority of my frustration and creative use of adjectives. Do you have correct tools or can you get them?

The fourth step is to evaluate a proper time frame to compete project. Establish a time frame that is realistic. Allow yourself error and determine how much slack time you can afford before project becomes a burden to household. In example, my wife knew that those dishes would have to be done soon. We were washing them in sink temporarily, but that’s not why we purchased a five hundred dollar dishwasher. The money was spent as an investment in utility of appliance and not to become a project. Keeping this in mind, she had something inside her that said this project needs to be completed now. What determined that? I do not know, but time was set and phone call was made. Is project going to be completed on time or is project avoiding becoming “the burden?”

If you answered “no” to any of these questions in four steps, you need to call a professional to help you finish your project as my wife did. By way, in example, problem our dishwasher had was that a ball check-valve was stuck and prevented it from physically shifting into drain cycle. Would you have been able to determine that? I thought it was an electrical issue in controller.
