In a nutshell, that feeling you get where you believe your projects look crap? It's because you're seeing the disconnect between what you can achieve now, and your taste that's informing what "great" is.
It's a bit of a double edged sword in that while you'll likely not be truly happy with a project anytime soon, that disconnect means you'll also be able to constantly strive as you recognise supposed flaws in what you've created.
In the end, all you can really do is just keep at it and over time, that gap will hopefully close as your skills allow you to create what your taste envisions.
That's the dream anyway, haha.
