About two more years to go and we are finally done paying our small but home sweet home. Time flies so fast na parang kailan lang I was visiting the house weekly until we finally set there.

| Our house 8 years ago. |
After two years, Mommy and I plan to have a major renovation. We want to fix the room for Matthew, more space in the kitchen, another bathroom upstairs, a relaxing spot on the second floor, and many more. At ang nakakagulat, Matthew wanted to have a swimming pool!
Before having a house renovation, here are some factors that you need to consider in pursuing home renovation.
Design
Though there are many things we wanted to change in our home, having a final design will guide the people who will do the renovation making the process smooth. Also, by having a design in advance will give you an estimated value for the materials and time frame.
Others consider consultation with a Feng Shui expert for good lucks. If the budget for this is not included, here are some basic tips that can be used as a guide: http://www.americanclassichomes.com/blog/feng-shui-for-american-homes/.
Budget
After having the desired design, next thing to put in consideration is the budget. Without considering the budget, a delay in finishing the project will be encountered.
Tip: If you are on a tight budget, doing DIYs can help a lot.
Season
In my previous experiences, the best season for home renovation is during summer. The probability of encountering heavy rainfall is very rare making the process of drying on some areas like cement and adhesives faster.
Furthermore, in case the project is not yet done especially in roofing, worrying about getting the entire house wet will be reduced.
Furniture and Fixtures
Choosing the right fixtures and furniture must be put into consideration too. After having the home design, searching for the right furniture must be made.
If hiring an interior designer, a close communication with the renovation team is needed to determine what size and forms of the furniture will fit the new house.
Fire Safety and Home Security
Also, it is very important to make our home fireproof and burglar proof. Because we don't want to go to waste all our hard earned investments right? Invest on the right fire extinguisher and home security system are good investments too. To know what's the right fire extinguisher to buy check out fire protection online.
