“I am constantly bombarded with grandiose plans of DIY projects, visions of quick and easy financial gains, and wide-eyed homeowners chomping at the bit to get their hands dirty.”

“When I'm deciding what to do with a house, I look at the family who live there and ask myself a few questions. Some of them are: 'How long are people going to live there? Are they going to stay forever? Do they plan to sell in the near future?'”

“Remember that the larger the renovation, the more options you have, which also means the more decisions you'll have to make. Laying out your plans well in advance will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed, and will also give you the opportunity to shop prices and stretch your budget.”

“New York had a big influence on me growing up, and I was really part of the club scene - the Mudd Club and Studio 54. When you're living in New York, you are just bombarded with style, trying to figure out how to be cool and how to feel relaxed at the same time.”

“Pick up any newspaper or magazine, open the TV, and you'll be bombarded with suggestions of how to have a successful life. Some of these suggestions are deeply unhelpful to our own projects and priorities - and we should take care.”
