There's a point, you stop blaming the house and start wondering how you've lived like this. Not because anything's in ruins. The walls are still standing. The ceiling's not leaking. On paper, everything functions. But it also sort of doesn't.

You keep twisting the same sticky doorknob. You hop over that one tile that squeaks even though it's impossible to miss. And the kitchen? A comedy of errors. You stand in it and think, *Who designed this mess?* You don't even cook that much, but the layout still offends.

Most people don't update their place because they saw something on TV. They do it because they've finally had enough.

That might come off blunt, but once a space loses its use, it chips away at you. You cover things — a rug over cracked tiles. But that doesn't change the truth: your home isn't yours anymore.

Some people rip everything out. Skip bins. Wall fragments for weeks. Others start small. A new tap here. A paint job there. It's not a matter of right or wrong. Just who you are.

Budgeting? Ha. That's a coin toss. You write a number down, more info feel realistic, and then something breaks. A pipe. A beam. A quote that “didn't include materials”. You sigh loudly and cut something. (Not the dishwasher. Never the dishwasher.)

Still — when it takes shape? Worth it. Even if the grout's crooked. You chose this stuff. You made it yours. That matters. You'll laugh about the delays later.

It's not about trendiness. If tiling the ceiling makes sense to you, then it makes sense. That's what matters.

Nobody lives in a magazine spread. But the ones that work for you? Those stick. You might have to break a wall. Maybe more than a few. Depends on your contractor.
