A "Game Plan" and a "Floor Plan" - that is!
Not only do designers begin with a plan in mind, they write it down - and you should too. Perhaps your plan has several different elements: a kitchen or bath re-do, kids furniture to purchase, a new dining room, etc.
By listing your goals, rough budget and time frame, you can plan to do some things now and some things later.
Now comes the all important Needs List and Wish List!
The next step is making the floor plan.
This will determine whether you can get what you wish space-wise. Then you can see if your budget will agree. Think about what needs to be done, what can wait, what must go, and how you can split the project into phases, if necessary.
Next time learn "All About Floor Plans."
