But first, let’s talk about a little DIY fun.. I’ve been working away at my master bedroom fix up for the last month or so.

It’s tough to walk away from a half installed window to go do hot yoga..I don’t actually do hot yoga.. Courtenay here again: Fascinating, right?

Not the hot yoga thing, but the rest of it, I mean.You can tell that our perspectives on the issue are pretty much complete opposites.I’m more concerned about keeping our home livable and comfortable while renovating and Chris is more concerned with making sure the project is absolutely perfect, no matter what.. No matter what side of the coin you’re on, I hope some of these tips gave you some things to think about if you’re about to undertake a big project like this one!.

Happy renovating!It’s that time of year when we all want our homes to look amazing, but we don’t have much time for huge home projects, or the desire to spend huge amounts of extra money.So what can ya do?

Paint, of course.

Paint is almost always the answer.makes you actually get started when you’ve made up your mind to hit “start”.

I used to use a chicken-shaped egg timer and I liked that the constant “tick tick tick” in the background kind of subconsciously let my brain know that it was “working time”.Plus a chicken timer is always fun and funny and I’m whimsical like that.

Or at least I used to be.I just use the timer on my phone now.
