I’m getting ready to start a home renovation project and would love to hear your stories—good or bad. Whether you’ve done a full restoration, a small bathroom remodel, or just updated a few things, I’m curious what worked and what didn’t. Did you DIY or hire professionals? Any materials, tools, or brands you’d recommend (or avoid)? I’m especially interested in hidden costs or unexpected challenges. Let’s swap advice and lessons learned so we can all go into our next project a little smarter!
