Reno Woes: The Hilarious Things Couples Fight About During Remodels


Welcome to another rollercoaster ride through the wild world of home remodeling! We've all heard that home renovations can put a strain on relationships, but trust us, the drama that unfolds can be sitcom-worthy.


In this blog post, we're diving into the comical side of interior design as we explore the things couples fight about during remodels. But don't worry, we'll sprinkle in some expert insights, real-life case studies, and interactive elements to keep you entertained. Let's turn those remodeling rants into laughter!



The Must-Have Toolkit


Before we get into the giggles, let's talk about the tools you'll need to survive a remodel. We've compiled a handy toolkit for couples that can save you time, money, and maybe even your sanity. Check out our must-haves!




The "Drawer Dilemma": A Comedic Clash of Culinary Conundrums


Let us introduce you to Khatib and Zahira, a real-life couple whose kitchen remodel took an unexpectedly hilarious turn. This story revolves around the age-old debate of whether to have drawers or not in the kitchen, and trust us, it's a doozy!


Khatib, though well-intentioned, had never cooked a day in his life. Yet, he was convinced that having ample drawers in the kitchen was the key to practicality. On the other hand, Zahira, the frugal half of the duo, saw dollar signs every time she thought about those extra drawers. She wanted to save money by keeping things simple.


Their kitchen remodel quickly turned into a battle of wills. Khatib argued that drawers would make their lives easier, even though he couldn't tell a spatula from a ladle. Zahira, ever the budget-conscious one, questioned the need for drawers when they had perfectly functional cabinets.



The comedic twist came when they decided to settle the matter by conducting a "Canister Census." Armed with measuring tapes and an unwavering determination to prove their point, they set out to measure every single canister, jar, and container in their kitchen. It was a sight to behold as they meticulously cataloged their pantry possessions.


As the tally grew, so did the absurdity of the situation. Khatib began to wonder if they needed a separate drawer just for salt shakers, while Zahira couldn't help but giggle at the thought of organizing spices with military precision.


In the end, after hours of measuring and much laughter, they reached a hilarious compromise. They decided to install a select number of drawers strategically placed for the most commonly used items, while leaving some cabinets intact to appease Zahira's frugality.



The "Drawer Dilemma" taught Khatib and Zahira that remodeling isn't just about practicality or thriftiness; it's also an opportunity for some side-splitting moments and memorable compromises. Today, their kitchen boasts the perfect blend of drawers and cabinets, and whenever they open those drawers, they can't help but chuckle at the lengths they went to decide on their culinary container accommodations.


So, if you find yourself in a kitchen remodel conundrum, remember Khatib and Zahira's epic "Drawer Dilemma" and the laughter that came with it. After all, in the world of remodeling, a little humor can make the heart of the home even warmer!

Shumiti, the practical sister, believed in the old-fashioned way of answering the doorbell – you know, the good ol' traditional 'ding-dong.' On the other hand, Prakash, her tech-savvy brother, was convinced that a video doorbell was the way to go. And, without telling Shumiti, he decided to take matters into his own hands.


One fateful day, when Shumiti was out, Prakash secretly installed the fancy video doorbell right next to the trusty old doorbell. He thought he was revolutionizing their home security game. Little did he know that he was setting the stage for a comedy of errors.



As the days went by, visitors approached their front door, faced with the perplexing choice of which doorbell to press.

Prakash's high-tech security solution had become a hilarious household spectacle. Shumiti, upon discovering the surprise addition, couldn't help but burst into laughter. The video doorbell was now not only redundant but had also become a source of amusement for anyone visiting.

In the end, the "Double Ding-Dong Dilemma" taught Shumiti and Prakash that sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best. They decided to keep both doorbells, as a reminder that laughter and compromise are essential in any home renovation adventure.
