Sooner or later, you quit pointing fingers at the layout and start asking if you're the problem. Not because anything's falling down. The bones are still standing. The ceiling's not leaking. Technically, everything holds up. But it also barely does.

You still fumble with the same loose handle. You sidestep that one plank that squeaks even though it's right in the middle. And the kitchen? A comedy of errors. You stand in it and think, *Who designed this mess?* You don't even use it often, but the layout still offends.

Most people don't renovate because they saw something on TV. They do it because they've run out of excuses.

That might sound harsh, but once a room loses its use, it starts to drag you. You patch it up — a rug over cracked tiles. But that doesn't stop the feeling: your home isn't what you need.

Some people start from scratch. Skip bins. Wall fragments for weeks. Others tinker. A new tap here. A paint job there. It's not a matter of right or wrong. Just how much chaos you're okay with.

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 patience.
