When considering where to splurge and where to save during a home remodel, Minneapolis homeowner Patti Wagner says the key is to make a list and update it throughout the process. Her paneled refrigerator was a Craigslist steal and the microwave was a steeply discounted floor model. “In the end, no one can tell which items were purchased on a budget,” she says. “Also, be patient, and don't be afraid to consider second-hand items.”
