THE GRIT AND POLISH
Renovation Guides
A little guidance for your old house.
Renovating comes with a lot of decisions. Some are fun (the tile!), some are less fun, and a surprising number need to happen before you’re ready for them. We’ve gathered our projects, favorite sources, and lessons learned into mini guides you can explore right now.
We’re also developing more in-depth digital resources for your renovation, starting with bathrooms. The larger room guides will be something you can work through and come back to as your project takes shape. They’re coming soon; in the meantime, there’s plenty here to get you started.
