Renovating is a daunting prospect, with decrepit houses in prime locations going for in excess of a million dollars (yes that really happened), buying an older property is the best many of us can do. So where do you start? How much can you do yourself? When do you need a professional, and how can you cut down on costs in the process? In this episode, Jessica Ricci is joined by interior designer Alison Lewis to answer these questions and so many more, to help you figure out if a reno might be on the cards.   LinksAlison Lewis Interiors Acknowledgement of Country By Natarsha Bamblett aka Queen Acknowledgements.
