Lately, I feel like I’m really picking up steam and getting a lot of the things done on my list around the house, and in my work life too.

, but today Chris is going to take over and share his tips for a successful and non brain-melting renovation.. 1.To do or not to do?

This great Shakespearean reference is not about whether to renovate or not (of course do it!), it’s whether or not you can do it all by yourself.I know we’re all DIY warriors, that’s why we’re here, but we can’t be afraid to hire help.

It’s not only about ability, you also need to value your time.Sometimes it’s cheaper to hire out even the simplest tasks so you can focus on the more complex issues.

I’m still coming to terms with hiring a crew to do demolition but it was clearly the best decision.

Editorial note:  Courtenay here, yes.. 2.the other built-in projects we’ve done.

in this house in the last few years.If I hadn’t had a teeny little newborn baby home at the time, it probably.

have actually been done in just a couple of weeks.. I’m so happy with the way this turned out and, as always, I can’t wait for the next time we get a chance to add some beautiful extra storage space somewhere else!.Have you ever built a big wall o’ storage like this in your home?.
