Renovating is hard enough but imagine doing it with 4 kids while living in a one-bedroom studio. Sounds challenging right? And that’s exactly what our guest, Maddie Tippens, did and she joins us today to tell us about her experience and how it was all worth it.



Maddie is one of our incredible BuildHer members and has had an interesting renovating journey. In this episode, Maddie chats with Kribashini about her first renovation project in the Upper West Side of New York where she worked hard to make a quirky space comfortable with no experience and a very limited budget.



We talk about the difference between the American and Australian design aesthetics and how Maddie has brought her unique flavour to her projects, including the beautiful Miller Street project which is their current family home. We hear about Maddie’s experience renovating her first Australian property in 30 days after the surprise arrival of twins and how the success of that project enabled her to go on to the next.



Maddie talks in some detail about the Miller Street project, her approach to the renovation and relationship with her builder and the importance of her mindset in the 4 months of living in the back yard with her family of 6. She talks about balancing the puzzle of trades and understanding that building and renovating is a complex process.



Maddie’s journey isn’t over yet because now there’s talk of another project on the cards. She’s definitely got the bug and we think she should be so proud of what she’s achieved.
