Episode 11, Work, life and renovating with @howstellagotherhouseback

This episode with Ciara and Richie is full of hints and tips for anybody who is on the renovation journey or considering renovation as the way for them to achieve the home they dream of. 

Ciara and Richie tell us how it's so important to understand your checklist of not only where you want to live, but also understanding what is important to you in terms of inside space and outside space.

They bought their house and moved in, they lived there whilst preparing all their plans for their renovation and figuring out what style they wanted, what was important for them and their lifestyle and where their money would be best spent. 

As with other renovation & self build episodes here on the Interiors Podcast, both Ciara and Richie emphasise the importance of investing in good and trustworthy architects and other professionals. They tell us how their Architect (Courtney McDonnell Studio) was more than just a designer for them, she took the role of project manager. She helped them work through this mammoth process, liaising with tradespeople, and supporting them with decisions that needed to be made and sometimes needed to be made quickly.
