Summary
What happens when you aren't sure if your current house is your long-term house? And if it's not, how do you know when to stop improving it? We're tackling those two BIG questions, including how the answers affected our own renovating decisions. Also, pretty soon after we shared our mostly-finished master bedroom on our blog, someone tossed a wrench into the room. A big, beautiful wrench that snowballed into a bunch of other changes - all of which were totally free. Plus, we talk about what's making our weekday mornings less stressful, and the surprising thing that could lower your home's property value.
