This week, I’m sharing a Best Of episode on tackling one of the biggest remodeling myths I hear from clients—”I need to save up all the money before I can even start planning.”
I get the urge to save before you spend. But for home remodels, I argue that planning is step one. Dreaming up your ideal remodel, researching materials, and sketching out your vision are the essential “prep” steps that will shape a budget that fits your goals. Planning now can actually help you save more efficiently, so by the time you’re ready to start, you’ll have a clear picture of what’s next.
Quick Design tip for your…tile search.
Listen in as I answer Anna’s question about replicating a beautiful mid-century tile for her bathroom project. I share tips on how to find materials that are affordable, style-conscious, and authentic to your mid-century home.
