In this episode, Sophie shares how they tested the design, and there’s some really great methods that Sophie and her partner used to gain confidence they were making the right choices, in everything from the layout of the home, to the size of specific cupboards and joinery design.

Sophie also talks about their budget, and how she set it, went about managing it, tracking it and staying on track across her project duration. And Sophie shares a great way she helped herself make value-based decisions on what they were spending, so things didn’t get away from them.

Plus, we also discuss her methods for documenting her selections and minimising decision fatigue as she made all the various choices for her project. There was one big one that she couldn’t bring herself to make though - and you’ll hear about that.
