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.

In fact, I’ll let you in on a little secret.When 2014 started, I decided that this was going to be “the year of paint”.

I knew I wouldn’t have much time on my hands with the baby in the house, but with paint I knew I could still do lots of little projects that would make me feel so much better about my surroundings almost instantly.

It turned out that I held true to the “the year of paint” thing, and earlier this Fall I partnered with CIL to visit a bunch of Home Depot stores and meet with customers to help them choose their perfect paint colours..If you can set up routines, stick to them for a bit, then keep improving them to get better and better, little by little, you’ll be amazed at how little pockets of extra time start popping up in your day!.

Get help.. You really can learn to do an amazing number of things in the course of your day, but that doesn’t mean that you’ll ever be able to do everything.Sometimes you might need some help for practical reasons like not having the right tools for a certain cleaning job around the house, and sometimes you might just not like to do a certain job at all.

If you know that you’ll just be beating your head against a wall if you try and fail that one task another time, then it’s OK to get help.Keeping your own sanity is absolutely key to keeping a balanced and amazingly productive schedule.
