Day one of moving into your new home you need a plan of action of how you’re going to transform that house into your dream home. Truth is whether you’ve lived in your home for one day or thirty years you should always have a plan of action of how to transform your house into the home you’ve always dreamed of.
Most people never have long term plan. Either they plan to never remodel and just make do. Or they tackle one project at a time without a plan of how to transform it into the home they’ve always dreamed of.
I’ve seen it time and time again as an Architect. I’ll talk to Homeowners who are ready to tackle the big project finally only to learn that in order to tackle that big project - such as adding a second floor. The money, time and energy they’ve already committed into their home such as remodeling the bathroom might have to go in order to make their next project work. Wasting time and energy.
Or I’ve also seen the end result being a home that just doesn’t match.
What do I mean?
A home that feels like a patchwork quilt. We’ve all seen them. Often an eyesore, they don’t reflect a cohesive whole and often I’ll have a homeowner come to me. Asking for support and help to transform that house into the home that they actually love.
The truth is it’ll cost more to not have the long term plan than to do nothing.
Yep I said it. It’ll actually cost you more.
Why?
Because without a plan of action, you’ll find yourself redoing things you did previously because you didn’t plan out carefully the whole process.
So what is the way to do it?
You want to have a plan of action that takes into account future possible projects so that you’re constantly improving your home and making it the home that you truly love and will for years to come.
It means that you’ll be able to think through the impact of future projects and how best to take steps today that won’t have to be torn out as you make your home your dream home.
