I totally agree that sometimes it makes more sense to DIY and sometimes it makes more sense to buy! I have a dream to make a flowchart for you guys on exactly that topic, but I keep forgetting about it. Writing it down right now! Anyways, the biggest 3 things I consider are the material cost for DIYing vs to the cost to buy, the time it would take to DIY, and the timeline (the weeks before Christmas, I’m all about buying vs if I’m not in a rush, I can wait for the perfect thrift store/Craigslist find to makeover). But then all those are balanced against my mood and if I’m looking forward to a project or if I want to learn something new. It would have been more cost-effective to just buy my parents a new outdoor bench, but I wanted to try stripping the paint, so I tackled it as a DIY.
