I Tried to Remove Decals—Now I Hate This Wall

I thought peeling off old decals would be a quick win. Just a hair dryer, some soap, maybe a little WD-40. But two hours in, my fingers were raw and the wall looked worse than before. The corner wouldn’t budge, so I picked harder. The paint started to flake. I tried rubbing alcohol—just made a bigger mess. The glue clung on like it was part of the rent. I spent $18 on a remover that smelled like regret. Scrubbed until my arms hurt. The decal’s gone, but now there’s a ghostly outline and a patch that’s somehow shinier than the rest of the wall. I ruined my Saturday for this. Next time, I’ll just live with the stickers. #DIYDisaster #RentalRage #HomeBudgetFail #Home #HomeDecor

I Tried to Fix My Antique Clock. Now It’s Worse.

I thought fixing my grandma’s old mantel clock would be a sweet, cheap win. Just a few careful turns, right? Instead, I spent two hours hunched over gears that groaned every time I touched them. The instructions said, “Don’t overwind.” I ignored that. Now the key won’t even turn, and the chimes are stuck at 3, no matter what the hands say. I wanted to save money and feel capable. Instead, I’m staring at a silent, broken heirloom. It’s just sitting there, reminding me that sometimes DIY means Do It Wrong. If you ever inherit a clock, maybe just leave it alone. #DIYDisaster #HomeBudgetFail #BrokeButCreative #Home #HomeDecor

I Tried to Fix My Clock. It Broke Me.

I thought fixing my old quartz wall clock would be a five-minute win. New battery, wipe the terminals, maybe nudge the hands. Cheap, right? Instead, I spent an hour hunched over the kitchen table, prying at tiny screws with a butter knife because I couldn’t find my screwdriver. The battery compartment was crusted with corrosion. My fingers smelled like metal and disappointment. When the hands caught on each other, I bent them—too far. Now they wobble, stuck at 3:17 forever. I looked up replacement movements, but the parts cost almost as much as a new clock. I could’ve just bought a new one. Instead, I ruined the old one and my Saturday night. #DIYDisaster #HomeBudgetFail #BrokeButCreative #Home #HomeDecor

I Tried to DIY a Clock. I Regret Everything.

I thought making my own clock would be a fun, cheap project. I spent $18 on a blank clock face, $7 on paint, and an hour hunched over my kitchen table, convinced I could eyeball the numbers. Now it’s hanging crooked above my desk, and every time I look up, I have to squint and count the marks to figure out what time it is. Roman numerals? I gave up after IV. The hands keep slipping, so sometimes it’s 3:00, sometimes it’s 8:00, and sometimes it’s both. I could’ve bought a $10 clock at Target. Instead, I made something that confuses me every morning. I’m embarrassed to admit how much time I wasted trying to save money. #DIYDisaster #HomeBudgetFail #BrokeButCreative #Home #HomeDecor

how did turning my sunniest room into a plant wall change everything?

Turning our brightest room into a plant wall was the best idea ever. I used to struggle keeping my plants alive, but then I realized they just needed more sunlight. So, I picked the front room, the only spot with amazing natural light, and went all in. I started with easy plants like pothos and spider plants. Hanging shelves made it easy to fit more greenery without crowding the floor. Watering is way simpler now, since I can see which ones need a drink just by walking by. Plus, the vibe in here is so much better—feels like a mini jungle every time I walk in. If you’re thinking about adding more plants, definitely use your sunniest spot. It makes all the difference! #plantwall #indoorplants #homedecor #gardeningtips #Gardening
