Amanda Hesser has been renovating her Brooklyn brownstone since 2002—and hasn't stopped since.
On the other hand, gut renovations also make me suspicious. Even though I will happily scroll through almost any internet slideshow of a home transformation and watchon repeat with my kids, I do often shudder about the waste involved in wiping out the old for the new.
For Tad and me, every renovation has forced us to get to know each other better. Tad likes pleasing spaces, but doesn't yearn to create them. During our first few years together, he found my continual yearning for improvement borderline alarming:But as our list of projects grew, and as he began to weigh in on the process and to feel invested in the results, the renovations came to seem less like a sneak attack on his peace and quiet and more like a joint strategy to upgrade our home life.
Over the years, we've formulated an approach to renovation that I believe creates a space that’s both comforting in its familiarity yet ever-changing. Tad and I improve things as we can afford to, and our style and the details evolve as we go. I like to believe it's the right way to live. Real-life budget limitations have, of course, had some impact on this view.
