Managing scope

Consider a work-related project that suddenly expanded in scope. I have not experienced scope creep in a work-related project, reflect on personal experiences instead. For example, you may have  remodeled a kitchen, etc.

It all started with remodeling the kitchen, it end up being a full house remodeling, bathrooms, bedroom, living room etc. people involved, an interior designer, house contractor and the crew of electricians, plumbers, cabinet makers, tile installers. what caused the project to increase.my wife decided she wanted to revamp/upgrade the house. mitigate this from happening again? very unlikely.
