Earlier this week, one month past the<br />
projected completion date (is the<br />
road to remodeling ever entirely<br />
smooth?), my family moved back to<br />
our humble abode. When we left in<br />
late April, our house—built in 1951<br />
and standing at 950 square feet—<br />
was a lot like me in junior high school: small and<br />
slightly awkward but, according to my parents, full<br />
of potential. Luckily, the bones were there, and a large<br />
lot allowed for an addition off the back.<br />
Though still holding tight to its original charm,<br />
we now have a main bedroom and bathroom; and<br />
a more open, updated kitchen; with fresh lighting,<br />
landscaping, and professional design touches<br />
throughout. Was bunking up in my childhood bedroom for four months worth it? Heck<br />
yes. My bank account might be bleak, but we have a larger, more inviting house that’ll be<br />
livable for the long term.<br />
Though it’s tempting to want to do things on your own, both big and small—be it<br />
highlighting hair, losing weight, or baking a birthday cake—our renovation was a prime<br />
example why paying professionals often pays off. You might think you're not saving<br />
money, but you’ll save yourself a lot of stress and end up with quality you can see and, in<br />
some cases, taste.<br />

Besides the “Best of <strong>2021</strong>,” we also delve deep into the<br />
spooky but oh-so scrumptious season of ghosts, goblins,<br />

Editor’s Picks (“12 Autumn Essentials”; page 42), and Taste<br />
(“Must-Try Fall Foods”; page 62); introduce you to 5 local<br />
in the wild… breast cancer organizations in “Fight Like a Girl” (page 20);<br />
You do<br />
and talk about the importance of home staging when it<br />
comes to selling your home in “Seal the Deal” (page 48).<br />
whatever<br />
Speaking of staging secrets, if you’re interested in seeing<br />
it takes to<br />
how local design duo Kele and Christina of Colossus Mfg.<br />
made my family’s house reveal-ready, tune into “Renovation<br />
survive.” Remix” on HGTV, which is scheduled to air early next year.<br />
