Renovating on a tight budget meant Merrin and Dan had to be clear on where every dollar went 💸
They kept costs down in the kitchen and bathroom by reusing materials, keeping the original windows and sourcing second-hand where possible. That allowed them to spend on bigger impact moments, like restoring the pool and raising the ceiling
One of the biggest things that helped was getting quote after quote, comparing options and not settling on the first price.
It ended up saving them tens of thousands and made a huge difference to the overall budget ✨
