Renovation & Property Consulting, Cape Town
What nobody
tells you before
you start
renovating.
You've got the Pinterest board. The builder quotes that don't add up. The budget that keeps growing. And about fifty decisions to make that nobody warned you about.
This is the honest advice that should have come first.
Sound familiar?
You imagined the beautiful kitchen, the lighter spaces, the dream bathroom. Then reality started creeping in. Quotes arrived. Everyone had opinions.
Â
You realised there were hundreds of decisions to make, half of which you didn't even know existed.
Â
And suddenly you're spiralling over taps and researching pendant lights at midnight.
​
You're not losing your mind.
Â
Renovating is just actually this hard. And most people do it without any honest guidance.
RENOVATION: A Survival Guide
Love, Dust and Floor Plans
A practical, emotionally honest guide through everything renovating actually involves. Not the Instagram version. The real one, with structural surprises, fictional timelines and the auntie who never got her pool finished because the contractor disappeared with the deposit.
Sometimes you need someone to actually look at your house.
-
You're about to renovate and want to approach it sensibly
-
You're mid-renovation and second-guessing every decision
-
You're renovating to sell and not sure what's actually worth doing
-
You own or are considering a short-term rental in Cape Town
-
You want honest advice from someone who has seen a lot of homes and is not trying to sell you anything
This is for you if...
The book gives you the framework. A Consultation Session gives you the answer for your specific kitchen, your particular corner, your R150 000 that you're not sure how to allocate.
Karina comes to you, walks through the space and gives you honest, specific advice before you make expensive decisions you can't easily undo.
