At some stage, you quit pointing fingers at the layout and start asking if you're the problem. Not because anything's disastrously broken. The bones are still standing. The ceiling's not leaking. On paper, everything works. But it also doesn't.
You keep twisting the same loose handle. You hop over that one plank that squeaks even though it's center stage. And the kitchen? A daily maze. You stand in it and think, *Who designed this triangle of chaos?* You don't even host dinners, but the placement is just wrong.
Most people don't tear things apart because they feel inspired. They do it because they've hit their limit.
That might seem dramatic, but once a room stops working, it starts to drag you. You cover things — a rug over cracked tiles. But that doesn't stop the feeling: your home isn't what you need.
Some people go full demolition. Skip bins. Power tools for weeks. Others tinker. A new tap here. A paint job there. It's not a matter of right or wrong. Just who you are.
Budgeting? Ha. That's a guessing game. You write a number down, try to stick to it, and then something breaks. A pipe. A beam. A quote that “didn't include materials”. You sigh loudly and cut something. (Not the dishwasher. Never the dishwasher.)

It's not about trendiness. If no upper cabinets makes sense to you, then it makes sense. That's what matters.
Perfect homes aren't real. But the ones that work for you? Those stick. You might have to pull up a few floors. Maybe more than a few. Depends on your contractor.
