Vol 4: Keeping my Peace content means sharing things that keep me in a good headspace. Definitely check out previous installs of this series for more feel good. In design, as in life, often you don’t know what’s possible until you see it. When we bought our land, we had a general idea of what we wanted to build. I learned that for me, it is so helpful to have a hard copy (and not just Pinterest) version of things when I’m consuming to learn, when I want to properly absorb information. These books provided a wealth of information not just around design choices, but also on the practical aspects of a design build project, the actual journey- the ups and downs, leveraging friends, family your own skills to make your dream space happen. Some of the books even had really helpful technical information around layouts and floor plans which helped when it was time to meet with architects/builders.
