Today, we’re diving into the one thing that makes or breaks any home renovation—MONEY. No matter how big or small your project is, having a solid financial game plan is crucial. I’m sharing my own experiences—yes, including my many rounds of loft bed indecisiveness—so you can learn from my mistakes. We’ll cover how to stretch your budget wisely, avoid common financial pitfalls, and make sure you’re hiring the right contractors (spoiler: the cheapest option isn’t always the best). Plus, we’ll chat about the emotional side of money—because let’s be real, home renos are a rollercoaster, and financial stress only adds to the ride.  

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of how to budget smart, plan for the unexpected, and make confident decisions without second-guessing every detail. If you’re ready to tackle your reno with clarity and peace of mind, you won’t want to miss this one!
