In this episode of From Blueprint to Beautiful, Heather and Michael Francis break down one of the biggest renovation questions homeowners face: Is this investment actually worth it?
We explore what “value” really means—financially and emotionally—and reference the 2023 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value Report to highlight which projects deliver the biggest returns, especially here in the Philadelphia region.
From garage door replacements to open-concept kitchens, we share the truth about ROI, when it makes sense to splurge, and why emotional satisfaction sometimes outweighs resale value.
Whether you're planning a forever home or prepping for resale, this episode will help you make smarter, more strategic renovation decisions.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
