WARNING - rant alert. Stop designing and building (or buying) your home for the rare occurrences that happen in your life. And start designing ONLY for how you live your life in a typical week, month or even year.

Are you thinking about building your own home? Not sure how to explain what you want to your designer or architect? This article is NOT telling you to do away with your designer, but instead outlines why it's so important to really work out exactly what you want and what you can afford before you starting giving them your money. Your designer isn't a mind reader, and they certainly aren't going to be the ones paying for the home and living in it, so don't leave it up to them to decide what's in it!
