Why you should be on vacation during your remodel…

If you’re about to start a remodel—go on vacation. Seriously.

Don’t stick around “just to be involved.” You’ll start questioning every noise, second-guessing decisions, and wondering if the chaos is normal.
Spoiler: it is.

Remodels are messy. Emotional. Loud. And if you’re there every day, you’ll drive yourself—and your crew—crazy.

You hired professionals. Let them work. The best thing you can do?
Disappear. ✈️

Here’s a few ways you being present can cause setbacks

We love when clients are excited and involved—but there’s a fine line between being informed and unintentionally slowing things down. Here’s what we’ve seen cause unexpected setbacks:

"Design is Final… But You Want to Change It?"
It’s totally normal to second-guess decisions—even after finalizing the design. But making late changes can derail timelines and budgets fast.

"Trying to Fix What Wasn't Broken"
You may suddenly “catch” something and feel the urge to tweak it. Be careful: not every fix is a real improvement.

"Watching Your Home Get Torn Apart is Emotional"
Demolition can feel like destruction—not progress. This emotional response can lead to frustration and misplaced blame.

"The Mess is Part of the Process"
Renovation gets messy—especially during the parts that take the longest. But behind the chaos, real progress is happening.

"Contractors Aren’t Trying to Be In Your Way"
Actually, it's the opposite. When you're onsite during construction, you might unintentionally be in theirs. Space = efficiency.

"Give it Room to Breathe"
Trust the process. Remodeling is a dance between design, emotion, and execution—and the best results come with a little space.

You could be stress-free, sun-soaked, and completely hands off.

Our full-service design process means you can unplug and relax while we handle the details—down to the paint color, pillows, and construction support. 🛠️✨

Design magic behind the scenes. You on vacation. That’s the vibe.
