[quote=Anonymous]I don't want my house to look like a time capsule of when it was built, but I don't want to be a slave to current trends, either. When we moved in a few years ago I hated our dated brown granite countertops so much. Priced out replacing them with quartz and nearly pulled the trigger, but prices went up during the pandemic and we decided to wait. I'm so glad we did. The quartz we picked already looks dated to me, and now that we painted the cabinets, changed the hardware, installed a backsplash, and replaced the oldest of our appliances, the space feels updated and fresh without a major reno.

I am trying to apply that philosophy to all the spaces in the house before we undertake anything major. I love design and decor so it is hard to resist, but I am also scared to spend a lot of money and go through the hassle of a major renovation only to have it feel dated or regret choices within a few years. I now few things are truly timeless, but I want to ensure my decisions are longer term.
