Maddison Smillie, a 23-year-old Aussie woman, expressed her frustrations regarding DIY home renovations after her and her partner's recent house purchase in Queensland. Initially eager to save money by painting their new home themselves, they quickly realized the task was far more difficult than anticipated. Many Australians are embracing DIY projects amidst a cost-of-living crisis, with over 57% engaging in home improvements. While Smillie acknowledges some initial success, she ultimately recommends hiring professionals for renovating challenging tasks, reflecting a broader sentiment among homeowners seeking to enhance and affordably improve their spaces.
"We have decided to give up painting our own home. We just bought our first home and to save money we thought it would be a good idea."
"The idea of painting your own home sounds good, but when you're actually doing it, it's tough work."
