DIY Closet Makeover Should You BUY or BUILD? (Extreme Transformation)

Описание: The construction work on this closet was finished months ago. I had the perfect clean slate. Instead of begging, I delayed. I procrastinated.

Without a deadline, I kept putting it off. Not because it was hard, but because time felt endless. Once Christmas became only a few weeks away, everything changed.

In this video, I finally begin building my daughter’s closet with a very real clock ticking. This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial. It’s a quiet look at decision fatigue, procrastination, and what happens when a project only moves forward once there’s something to work against.

If you’ve ever waited to start something until time forced your hand, you’ll probably recognize yourself here.

Thanks for being here.
