Learning to ask for help was a huge journey that took me many years to finally get to a point where I was comfortable -- and even so, I hold back probably still...

I am most comfortable asking my spouse, mother, and sister...but once I leave those three -- hesitation builds, and I'll typically exhaust all options before I ask...

I know this writing was more with projects and DIY tasks -- but interestingly enough, with things that are more "craft/art" I am more comfortable searching and asking for help -- asking questions is probably the easiest, but I sure don't like to be an inconvenience to people: that's the biggest thing that holds me back.

I'm glad you asked for help and in return, gained a new perspective - and the right person who understands how you work. Sounds like you have lots of great new ideas - hope things come together in your home the way you envision!

Have a lovely day Amanda!!
