Sometimes you miss the point your place stops working for you. It's not like the floor falls out (hopefully). It's gradual. A drawer that sticks, the outlet you have to hit twice, the mirror that fogs up even with the fan open. Trivial details, really. But they wear you down.

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

That's usually how remodeling creeps in. Not always with big plans. Sometimes it's something small. Or boredom. Or the feeling that your living space could be doing... more.

People describe renovations like a full makeover. And yeah, sometimes it is. Demo days, contractors who say Monday, and excuses involving utes, dogs, or “supply delays.” But sometimes? It's smaller. A new curtain rod. Doesn't have to be a full production.

I've seen friends tear through walls. Kitchens flattened, ceilings opened before coffee. And others? Just paint. Both are valid. There's no manual. Only what works for you.

Money — yeah. That's the sticky bit. You think you've figured the click here costs, and then... you don't. Double the budget. Then add more. Because when you pull up drywall and find a surprise, you don't want to compromise.

Anyway. Whether you're changing everything, or just making peace with the walls, it's all valid. Some of it's annoying. But walking through your gate and thinking, *yeah, this place gets me now* — that's worth something.

Even if the tap drips a bit. That's just character.
