.Sometimes out of something horrific comes beauty.
her new book
Designing Your Dream Home: Every Question to Ask, Every Detail to Consider, and Everything to Know Before You Build or Remodel .
It is a workbook of sorts, that walks one through,
step by step and room by room
the process of designing
and building a home.
Highly organized, she does not leave one stone unturned.
...But it is also thought provoking...
challenging you to really think about what you need in each room.
Then helping you to communicate that vision
to the whole team of architects, builders, designers, consultants.....
The
crux of the book is organization...Susan not only reminds you to
take the time to get organized...but
walks you through step by step the process with forms , check sheets, to do lists, meeting notes and ticklers...
Right down to how many binders to keep, what to label them and how to keep them at your fingertips for which meetings!
She really does a lot of the tedious thinking about organization for you!
oh would I need that!
This was really helpful to see folks...and I am not even building a home.
