Renovating your kitchen can be a frightening process—especially when you total up the costs. A major kitchen remodel is one of the most expensive projects a homeowner can undertake. So there’s plenty of pressure to get it right.

Luckily, most common kitchen design mistakes can be easily fixed. But it’s far, far easier (and cheaper) to plan correctly from the start! Before you take a sledgehammer to your kitchen walls, make sure you’ve considered these often forgotten issues.

While we obsess over which lamps and sconces will add the right ambiance in our living rooms, we often forget about properly lighting the kitchen. Which doesn’t quite make sense.

A kitchen is where the bulk of the household work gets done—and this is a place where working in the dark isn’t a great idea. (Plus, don’t you want great lighting to show off your delicious creations on Instagram?)

On the HGTV show “Married to Real Estate,” real estate agent/designer Egypt Sherrod and her husband, master builder Mike Jackson, make a winning combo as they help homebuyers find and renovate the perfect property.

Part of the fun of watching, though, is seeing decisions being made that make you go “Nooooo!” And this show’s latest episode has a few doozies.

In “Farmhouse Fixer,” clients Stephanie and Justin have a whopping $1.2 million to spend, and they hope to find a farmhouse on 50 acres near Canton, GA, about 45 minutes from Atlanta.

Justin is all about the acreage, since he fosters dreams of a farm-to-table life and teaching his kids to live off the land. However, Stephanie—who is several months away from giving birth to their second child—is more concerned with finding a house that’s move-in ready.

The numbers: U.S. mortgage rates rose as the market braced for further rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve to combat persistent inflation in the economy.

Rates broke a five-week downward trend, pushing demand for mortgages down by 7.7% in the latest week.

Demand for both purchases and refinancing both fell. That pushed down the market composite index—a measure of mortgage application volume—the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) said on Wednesday.

The market index fell by 7.7% to 230.4 for the week ending Feb. 10, from a week earlier. A year ago, the index stood at 537.0.

And after living in the luxurious space for nearly four years, Helberg and actress wife Jocelyn Towne have listed the estate for $8,997,000.
