Set the budget first and stick to it. To not follow your budget is not good for your mental health, it will seriously drive you crazy and can be overwhelming for even to most staunchest!
This will determine if you can knock down and build new, major renovation or just fix up the outstanding maintenance issues (that almost every house has...).
It can be easy to trapped into the 'lets just do it now' scenario, get concept plans done including your wishlist items then find out that you can't afford it. Many will then sell up and move... to another place requiring the same works. I see it regularly unfortunately - people wish listing themselves out of a renovation when really most just need a fresh kitchen and bathroom and getting the maintenance problems fixed!! K.I.S.S.
