As you probably know, the biggest craft project I'm working on is a home renovation. And renovation doesn't really seem to cover what it is. It's kind of building a new house inside of the old house shell. Listen the podcast to hear more:

You go girl! And consider you will make changes after you live in it for awhile. That would be normal. I am considering adding doors to those wide open frames (larger than normal door frames) that are suppose to provide an open-like concept. Noise is an issue I want to rein in. Putting in floor to ceiling windows is also a thought for one or two rooms where more natural light would be wonderful. So the changes are more comfort level rather than decorative. And near the end of life, living without stairs and removing tripping hazards becomes the most important thing. Houses are really an extension of your body and your soul, and they change throughout the different stages of life.

Having renovated four houses over the last 15 years your description of working with your contractor brought back fond memories of the talented and creative men I had the pleasure of working alongside as we brought my vision into reality. I think I have one more house left in me before I die, but my fourth renovation – the home my husband and I live in now – was by far the best experience because I upped my game and hired an architect and an interior designer, both of whom had experience and insight that made the whole construction and design process just sing. Not that there weren’t issues or small cost overruns….that’s just part of the construction process which I adored because it was so much like creating a painting. You decide. You try something. You hate it or love it. You change it. You step back and re-consider……well, Julie, you are doing a big huge creative process like nothing you’ve ever done before and it’s always a revelation and the journey is always rewarding because the crew, the workers, the contractor – everyone is focused on this very exciting and surprising journey. I loved each and every house I touched. It was a joy.
