Thirteen guides · from first thoughts to final room
THE FEELING BEFORE THE FIRST WALL COMES DOWN
The most common feeling at the start of a renovation isn't excitement. It's overwhelm.
The quiet weight of not knowing what you don't know: where to start, who to trust, how to budget, and how to keep your vision intact when the choices multiply by the hundreds.
I'm Bethany, the designer behind Studio 1049. I've walked alongside many homeowners at exactly this threshold, and I made this collection to be the conversation I wish I could have with every one of them before the first wall comes down. It's everything years of guiding renovations have taught me, gathered so you can move through your project feeling prepared instead of anxious.
WHO THIS IS FOR
For the homeowner who wants to do it herself, with a designer's foresight.
Maybe you're not ready to bring on a full-service designer, or you'd simply rather roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. Either way, you don't have to do it without a designer's edge.
This is for the homeowner who wants to feel proud of her home and is ready to do the work herself, but wants a plan, and a designer's foresight, so nothing catches her off guard. Whether you're renovating one room or dreaming about the whole house.
For less than one hour of design time, you get a designer's guidance through your entire home.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
This isn't another generic checklist.
Woven through every room are the designer's notes, the catches most homeowners only learn the hard way.
The bulkhead hiding ductwork
Where it has to live, and how to plan the ceiling around it before it surprises you.
The material transition
The threshold detail that quietly undoes a beautiful room if it isn't planned.
The pipe on the exterior wall
The plumbing placement that freezes in winter, caught long before it's behind tile.
The single overhead light
The lighting shortcut that becomes your biggest regret, and how to layer it instead.
These are the details that save you money, time, and heartache, and they're the reason this feels like having a designer beside you.
A note from every room
-
The most complex room in the house, made calm and clear, from the working triangle to the long-lead orders that protect your timeline.
-
Where waterproofing, ventilation, and the wet wall decide everything. Get the invisible parts right before a single tile goes up.
-
Designed backward from rest, with the closet, light control, and quiet that actually help you sleep.
-
Arranged for the way you gather, with the fireplace, media, and lighting decisions planned before the walls close.
-
Item descriThe room that flexes from formal occasions to everyday dinners to homework at the table, planned to hold every way your family comes together.ption
-
A quiet workhorse that keeps your work focused and your home life organized, designed for the storage, light, and calm that make it a room you want to be in.
-
The laundry has to happen, so let it happen somewhere beautiful. A hardworking room made genuinely lovely, function first and style never an afterthought.
-
Built for the real daily pile-up of keys, bags, and shoes, then styled to welcome.
-
Made for hosting long dinners and unwinding with a glass of wine by the fire, so your living spills gracefully past the walls of your home.
-
Game room, guest room, hobby space, it's yours to shape however you like, planned to work beautifully for whatever you dream up.
-
The little jewel box where a small space earns a big reaction, planned down to the clever inches.
