"For anyone who wants to undertake designing a home from the ground up, Jan Jones Evans's book should be a valuable resource. Evans's observations of her own design challenges are particularly helpful. [Her] honesty, along with her ability to talk about design and building details through an ordinary consumer's eyes, makes for a book that is both engaging and instructional. ...offers the kind of helpful insight based on experience that should make planning and designing a home a much less time-consuming and arduous process." - Barry Silverstein, Forward/Clarion Review
