#24: Renovating A Kitchen In Under A Week (Crazytown!)

DJ, drop the beat! And by beat, I mean the show notes for Episode #24 of Objectales Has A Podcast. This week we’re chatting with our friends from the blog Chris Loves Julia, who have renovated three kitchens in three years – and they’ve even redone a kitchen in under 6 days (!!!). So yeah, they have a ton of experience, advice, and hilarious stories to help anyone else out there who’s contemplating a kitchen remodel of their own. We’re also talking about John’s shed organizing progress, diving into some helpful decluttering revelations, and digging around to see what paint colors are statistically shown to help sellers get top dollar (they’re not what you think!).

You can download this episode from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio – or listen to it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced.

What’s New

• Above is a sneak peek at the lumber “organizer” I’ve been working on for the shed. It’s mostly made from scrap lumber and is already filled with scrap lumber, so it’s a bit hard to tell where the organizer stops and the organized starts.
• And speaking of hoarding, here’s the article that has inspired the studio to go on a rampage declutter: The Joy Of Less, 4 Decluttering Epiphanies That Have Changed My Life

What’s Not

• Here’s Zillow’s analysis of what paint colors earn home sellers more money. Such interesting (and somewhat surprising) results!
