Renovating a house, or even just a small room, can look like so much fun on HGTV and other reality TV shows. You find the perfect paint color or antique store find and create a new look in just a day. Or, you tear down walls and expand your kitchen over the weekend. Your spouse, family and friends will all have a ball helping you create your dream space. And, when it’s done, you’ll throw a party and celebrate your accomplishment. NOT!
