Ep 14: Wake Me Up With Indecision: Which Updates Are Worth Making?

August 9, 2016

Ep 14: Wake Me Up With Indecision: Which Updates Are Worth Making

Listen to the latest episodes on: iTunes, GooglePlayStitcher.

Title: Ep 14: Wake Me Up With Indecision: Which Updates Are Worth Making?
Hot Topic: What should you do if you want to make a change to your home you think may lower its value?
Show Notes: Every renovation project is a balancing act, between budget, time, needs, wants, etc.. But when you don't know how long you're going to be in your home, is it really worth spending the time and money to update it?

Chris and Julia discuss how they approach the "is it worth it" question, as well as striking the balance between creating the house you want to live in and one that someone else will want to buy someday. They also talk about projects they've been working on, including their downstairs basement and outdoor fireplace.

  1. First time commenter, but I am so with you on insta-stories and I've been unfollowing people who post a ton on instastories that aren't things I want to see because I'm following them for a specific reason.

  2. First time listener, recently started reading the blog. I like to listen while gardening, but I'm going to start a mini-refresh of our 50-plus year old master bath (floor space 4.5 x 5.5 ft) and podcasts are great for painting to!

  3. Not completely finished with listening to this episode, but I wanted to jump in and say thank you for your vulnerability about your photography Julia! I think you do an awesome job!

    Also, I feel the same way about instastories... I've definitely unfollowed people because of it. But on the other hand, there are a couple of people that I like a million times more thanks to their story. Still more of a fan of snapchat though.
