They say the hardest work to do is the stuff we do for ourselves. I believe that. In this case it is a long held dream and we desparately want to get it right. As we get close to the start line on our house the drawing has begun in earnest. Everything is still loose and many ideas are being explored as we narrow down the final design, both inside and out. We will only have one chance to get this right. The results we will have to live with for a long time to come.

The ideas are flowing like water. Page after page of sketches come off the drawing board in a flurry. Other ideas come hard. Some are discarded, others combined and a few make the cut right off the bat, and in turn inspire other similar ideas and style through the project. We are pulling out the stops and it is starting to come together.

Nothing is final yet, but I thought it might be fun to share some of the process here...

IMAGINE THIS !
