Design Journal
Blueprints, remodels, kitchens and downsizing: the decisions to get right before the work begins.
The cheapest time to fix a room is before it exists. The interior questions to answer while your house is still a drawing: furniture, windows, outlets, lighting, storage and flow.
Choosing tile before you’ve settled the layout is how remodels go over budget. The right sequence of decisions, from big picture to small, and why it matters.
Moving to a smaller home means letting go of things that carry decades of memories. A practical, compassionate approach to deciding what to keep and making the new place feel like home.
The classic work triangle still holds lessons, but modern kitchens are planned in zones. How to lay out a kitchen that’s efficient for one cook and comfortable for a crowd.
