Seven Ways To Know You Have a Good Plan

Here are 7 ways to know you have a good plan for your remodel:

1. It tells a Story. - What do you want your home to say?
2. It has a “Wiener.” - What features compel you forward?
3. It increases Volume and Flow, not necessarily square footage. - Rooms get “roomier.”
4. It has Light, light, and more light. - Daylight joy and nighttime mood.
5. Every room has a View. Every window, a Vista. - No window is wasted.
6. It provokes Emotion - Take care of the practical, then design for the emotional.
7. It is rich with Detail - Good bones are a beginning but details make me a believer.
