As our family as grown in numbers and now in physical size, our house as gone from the need to update some outdated finishes to a serious look at how to make everything fit. The decision to remodel and make things work as best as they could on a limited budget (as in DIY!) was a culmination of factors like a great neighborhood, school systems and the cost to move let alone selling in a down market.
