New project for the new year? To whom or where do people turn when they are beginning their remodel/construction project? Many people seem stumped when beginning a project and I think it is helpful to see where others started.

Do you start by trying to get inspiration (via Houzz, Pinterest or similar)?

Do you start by calling a pro (architect, contractor, interior designer)?

Do you start with your own internal list making and soul searching?

Do you start with blogs or shows like This Old House or HGTV?

Many people start in a panic, overwhelmed and unsure where to begin their project. Every project is different, but if you have made it past the first step (whatever that was) please share your experience and help calm some nerves!
