'Doing it yourself' to get the home you want
01/25/23 • 23 min
This week we chat with Jess, who along with her partner Darius embarked on an 18-month process of completing the interior of their project themselves.
What started out as a necessity due to budget constraints became an expression of Jess's passion for interiors and design showing if you can't get someone to do it for you, then you can do it for yourself instead!
We talked to her about her renovation journey, the support of her family, and her take on creating a unique and beautiful home that comes from the heart.
