Long time follower, and I think you are always excited, happy and having fun at the beginning of every one of your home remodels. It’s the middle and end that kills the joy.

This is such a refreshing and honest take. That mix of excitement and fear feels so real—especially when you know how unpredictable the process can be. I love that you’re choosing to move forward anyway and letting curiosity lead

I’m a looooooooooong time follower. Would you get mad if I said you are ALWAYS super excited and happy at the beginning of a project? It seems like it’s the reality of renovation that tanks your mood.

Awesome! I’m very bored of places — not yours — that are white with high end finishes and colorful accents. Super looking forward to something different. Love when you explain why you chose one design idea vs another.

As a writer and designer, I can confirm that the way to artistic and creative freedom (and honestly, better results!) is lowering stakes and allowing play. Happy for you. Can’t wait to see what you do with the space.

I couldn’t relate to you more with this post! You were ~9 months ahead of my (first) renovation with your Farm House and provided SO much legacy knowledge and insight that really helped me throughout the process. Our sketchy contractor skipped out on the project early in our subsequent carriage house renovation, so I GC’d it myself. It is 100% my favorite space, and you articulated exactly why: no creative / functional constraints (one closet…no problem! tiny fridge…great!), no mixed messaging with subcontractors and complete control over the process. I wish you the best of luck – especially with the urinal…I live with all males (human and canine) and even if you make that thing the size of the ‘trough’ at the original Yankee Stadium, they’re gonna find a way to miss the bowl…
