The future may offer few certainties, but there are things about us that I feel are constant. With some notable exceptions, most of us want to build a life of joy and growth where there is always room at the table for just one more friend. Where the home we make for ourselves restores us and inspires the best in our nature.

Like so many people considering a home renovation right now, you may be wondering if it is the right time, what with global supply chain shortages, transportation delays, and increased cost of goods.

One question I ask clients early is how do they want their room to serve them, support them, refill their cup. This allows us to avoid getting stuck on the details before we have fully come to understand the desired spirit of their home. It also celebrates that each client, each family, has unique expectations of home and what it means to feel at home.

The one role in your professional life that you may not have been prepared to take on is that of movie producer, but those skills are important now as we navigate new norms that have us opening up a virtual window into the private sanctity of our homes.
