You don't always notice the day your home stops working for you. It's not like the floor falls out (hopefully). It's subtle. A door that creaks, the outlet you have to hit twice, the shower that fogs up even with the fan open. Trivial details, really. But they pile up.

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

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

People talk about renovations like a full makeover. And yeah, sometimes it is. Gutted kitchens, builders who never text back, and excuses involving utes, dogs, or “supply delays.” But sometimes? It's smaller. A new curtain rod. Doesn't have to be chaotic.

I've seen friends go all in. Kitchens torn down, ceilings opened 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 figured the 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.

Also, not everything needs to happen at once. Unless website you enjoy dust, staging the work might keep your bank account intact. And maybe — just maybe — you realize halfway through that you don't like black fixtures after all. It happens.

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

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