In Bend, Oregon, a homeowner started a remodel with Pinterest screenshots and trend lists. Halfway through, none of it felt right. The space looked good, but it did not feel like home.
They paused the project and stripped the plan back to basics. What they needed was comfort, storage, and light, not trends. The final result was simpler, quieter, and more livable.
Homeowners often discover that renovation is less about copying ideas and more about understanding themselves. The best homes are shaped by how people actually live in them
