It's not always obvious the day your home starts feeling off for you. It's not like the floor falls out (hopefully). It's a slow burn. A window that won't close, the light switch you have to fiddle with, the bathroom that fogs up even with the fan open. Trivial details, really. But they accumulate.

Then one day, you're leaning in your living room — probably waiting for the kettle — and thinking, *okay, this setup needs help*.

That's more or less how remodeling begins. Not always with big plans. Sometimes it's just frustration. Or boredom. Or the feeling that your home could be doing... more.

People talk about renovations like a full makeover. And yeah, sometimes it is. Gutted kitchens, builders who promise soon, and drama involving utes, dogs, or “supply delays.” But sometimes? It's quieter. A new curtain rod. Doesn't have to be chaotic.

I've seen friends swing hard. Kitchens flattened, walls gone before lunch. And others? Just tiles. Both are valid. There's no golden rule. Only what fits your life.

Money — yeah. That's the wildcard. You think you've got it covered, and then... you don't. Double the budget. Then cry a little. Because when you pull up floorboards and find a surprise, you don't want to compromise.

Anyway. Whether you're gutting the place, or just finally painting over that lime green, it's all part of it. Some of it's messy. But walking through your gate and thinking, *yeah, this place gets me now* — that's worth something.

Even if read more the tiles are crooked. That's just character.
