LIST A:
Make a list of things you like and dislike in your home, whether it is new or existing. Do you love the kitchen layout? Are the bedroom closets too small? Review your own home and other homes you’ve visited to create this list.

LIST B:
Make a list that describes life in your house. Are you going to entertain large crowds often? If so, you are going to require a larger living room and an efficient kitchen. Do you have a very active lifestyle that is going to require extra space in the garage for bikes and skis? This planning in advance will merge your lifestyle with your home design.
