Overhauls allow you to reimagine, renovate, remake, revise, renew thoroughly.
The home we purchased in 2010 underwent overhauls in basically every room. My Prince jokingly says we would have been better off to burn it down and start over.
In some respects it’s sort of true. Because retrofitting new items to old items can often times create expensive challenges.
And lawd, the MESS! It seems we lived in constant dust and turmoil for the whole 5 years we were renovating. It’s definitely NOT for the faint of heart. And it will test the grit of your marriage in all sorts of ways.
But after all the room overhauls, we can both say it was worth it. We ended up with a home that suits us. And I gained so much new experience as a GC, lol.
I can hardly wait to share all those posts with you. I think it will make the most sense for me to share one room at a time. In the meantime, here’s the post for the overhaul of the front elevation!
