81. Sprucing Up Your Space (Without Busting Your Budget)

In this episode of "Shit You Don't Learn in School," Calvin and Steph share their journey of enhancing their apartment over the course of a month, all while sticking to a budget of around $10,000. They guide listeners through their step-by-step process, which includes decluttering, making thoughtful purchases from stores like Crate & Barrel, West Elm, and Amazon, and finding clever storage solutions to maximize space. They stress the importance of pinpointing specific issues within their home—like messy areas and inefficient layouts—rather than making drastic changes. The transformation resulted in a dramatically improved living space, proving that even small investments can greatly enhance your quality of life.
