Before You Call the Contractor: Danielle Nicholson on Renovating Without Regrets


Listen Later

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!

Want to avoid renovation regrets? I talk with interior designer Danielle Nicholson about the thing that causes more renovation heartbreak than bad tile choices or blown budgets: starting before you’re actually ready. Danielle’s book “Don’t Start Without Me” is built around a single idea: the real work of renovating happens before you even talk to a contractor.  Or even a designer. Before anyone shows up with a truck. Before the showroom. Before the finish selections. Very specific questions related to your vision have to be answered first — and most people skip them entirely. Subscribe to hear the full conversation: what Danielle wishes every client would bring to the table, the mistakes she sees made over and over, and why “I just want to get it done” are the words that make her cringe.
