While the last episode was all about how to do modest makeovers, this episode is all about how *not* to do them. Get some insider details on what can go wrong, what and how to prep for your DIY or modest makeover, and find out what it actually costs to do a modest makeover.

*Apologies for issues with the sound, hoping to have all the kinks worked out by the time the next episode comes out!

What the heck is a modest makeover?

It’s pretty simple in some ways, as it does what it says on the tin, but on the other hand, there are quite a few different moving parts that go into it. It’s not hard to get overwhelmed, and there are lots of mistakes to be made, so in this episode I break the modest makeover down step-by-step so that it’s easy enough for you to do it yourself, and so you avoid some of my mistakes.

The only thing harder than finding the perfect house is finding the perfect place to build it! In this episode I interview my friend and fellow realtor Laura, who has had the joy of building her own home and shares some of the challenges of doing that.

While she might live in a custom-built house now, Laura started humbly like the rest of us, and she has never been afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the work necessary to achieve the look and feel she wants. Find out what potentially dangerous lengths she went to in order to decorate the 12-ft walls in her first house, and why her accidental oversize island turned out to be just what her kitchen needed.
