Hey Homeowners, do you want to update your home to reflect you and function better for your family?

Do you know what you like but the thought of pulling it all together and the what if’s of renovating leave you feeling overwhelmed?
I am so excited you’re here! I am on a mission to help homeowners such as yourself FINALLY have that functional, beautiful home that fits your lifestyle, and reflects your personality. Without the stress and without the regret!
Hey, I’m Jen, with years of experience in the industry as designer, project manager, and remodel specialist. I have seen it all and I am here to help you skip the overwhelm with Functional Home Renovations, that save you money.
I get it, you want your home to be beautiful but more importantly functional! You have been making do with a home that is less than ideal and quite frankly frustrates you every single day - the poor layout, the outdated look, and most importantly the lack of storage. I’ve been there - the binge watching of HGTV and the death scroll of Pinterest, pinning yet another Kitchen layout or storage idea, but where do you even begin?
I have learned that when done right, remodels don’t have to be overwhelming and stressful. I help homeowners like you transform their outdated homes into timeless, functional, and welcoming spaces you’ll love for decades — without the stress, overwhelm, or regret.”

21: 5 Design Decisions That Are Secretly Exhausting You — How to Design Your Remodel Without the Overwhelm
Have you ever started making design selections—like tile or lighting—and suddenly felt completely frozen?Have you wondered why picking a backsplash feels harder than it should?Are you feeling mentally exhausted before construction has even started?
In this episode, I’m talking about decision fatigue during a remodel—why it happens, why it’s so common (especially for busy homeowners), and how to prevent it from draining your energy before your project even begins.
I walk you through five specific design decision traps I see homeowners fall into over and over again—things like endless scrolling, trying to make too many decisions at once, rushing choices under pressure, and chasing “perfect” instead of cohesive. I explain what’s really happening behind the scenes and how to reframe your design process so decisions feel lighter, clearer, and more confident.
This episode is for you if:
You feel overwhelmed by design choices
Pinterest is making things more confusing instead of clearer
You’re second-guessing decisions or feeling stuck
You want your remodel to feel intentional—not exhausting
You’ll walk away with practical ways to reduce overwhelm, set boundaries around decision-making, and design your remodel with more clarity and confidence.
If you want more hands-on tools to help you through these early stages, join my Insiders List. I’ll be sharing resources and opening registration for my free January workshop, Start Your Renovation—where I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to reduce overwhelm before construction even begins.
You can also come hang out with us in the Preparing for Your Home Remodel Facebook group and tell me which design decision is stressing you out right now.
And stay tuned—because in the next episode, we’ll talk about how to reduce overwhelm once construction starts and keep your project moving without burnout.
