The trick is to remodel in such a way as to make later remodeling unnecessary or at least easy. Keep furniture mobile. Keep wiring, plumbing, and ducts accessible. Because at some point sooner than you imagine your present arrangement will become suddenly and profoundly intolerable, and you will not be able to rest until you have a Corian island in your kitchen, or a walk-in closet, or a fireplace in the bedroom, or another bathroom, or a skylight over the stairs, or an electronic home theater, or a private study isolated from the noise of the home theater, or whatever it is.
