Home renovations should be fun. No, really. Remember the excitement of imagining your sleek new kitchen? A walk-in closet that’s big enough to, you know, walk around in? Don’t lose sight of that inspiration as you get into the nuts and bolts of remodeling your home.

Whether you’re mid-remodel, or still in the dreaming stage, you’ll be faced with a lot of decisions (ahem, understatement). Will everything fit? What colors should I use? Will I actually use the space in a new way?

Take a break from Pinterest and Fixer Upper, and glance at these accounts to find some unexpected inspiration while you’re working hard to make the home of your dreams a reality.
