Scared of Your Guest Bathroom? It’s Probably Time.

Summer’s here—and while a lot of people are planning lake days or beach trips, I know some of you are walking past a certain part of your house like it’s cursed.

You know the one….
The guest bathroom you apologize for.
The kitchen that makes you silently swear every time you unload the dishwasher.
The layout that just doesn’t work—but somehow, you’ve lived with it for years.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone!

At ESD, we talk a lot about the renovation rollercoaster. But here’s the thing: the emotional ride starts before we get started. It starts with hesitation. Overwhelm. That “maybe next year” conversation you’ve had on repeat.

But summer? Summer is different. Why? Because it’s full of energy and clarity—two things you need when you’re finally ready to stop avoiding and start planning.

What Pre-Reno Anxiety Really Looks Like

• You’ve mentally redesigned your kitchen more times than you’ve actually cooked in it.

• You’re scared of the cost or budget discussion. (Pro tip: ignoring it won’t make it any easier)

• You keep saying “someday.” But “someday” has quietly turned into too many years to count…

• Your camera roll is full of tile selections and room inspiration, but you haven’t saved a single contractor’s number.

• You’re waiting for the perfect time to start.

Let me be honest with you…..There’s no such thing as the perfect time. But there is a smart time—and it’s now.

Why Summer Is the Time to Start Planning

• Designers, builders, and vendors are already booking into next year!
  Getting on our calendars now means less stress and better timing down the line.

• Lead times are real.
  From custom cabinets to plumbing fixtures, the best results come with a little breathing room.

• Preconstruction is where the real magic happens.
  At ESD, our Precon Process is where we align your vision, budget, and schedule before anything gets built or renovated. Summer gives you space to do it right.

Overwhelmed, unsure, or feel like you don’t even know where to begin? — that’s exactly why we’re here.

You don’t need a full design board or a perfect budget spreadsheet to start. You just need to be ready to stop tiptoeing past that outdated space and start imagining what it could be.

Let this be the summer you make the first move.

We’re ready when you are.
