I'm embracing a slow renovating approach to my remodel – here's why you should consider it too

The joys of slow renovating.

I have spent the best part of the last year making my home renovation my entire personality. Why, you ask? Because it's taken over my and my husband's entire lives – and we're only about 40% complete. And I know that sounds rather negative, but in fact, I'm about to tell you that a slow renovating has truly been a blessing in disguise. 

Now I want to preface this by saying I'm extremely privileged to be in the position I'm in. We're currently a year into our second full-gut renovation project that's in our dream location and will become our dream home. But that doesn't take away from the fact that renovating a house is hard and it's a long, expensive, and all-consuming journey.
