The most simple idea can be the most profound. Home renovation and design are extremely common and very popular. There is an entire television network devoted to it. Describing a home renovation from beginning to end, including every step from every point of view is, on the surface, a relatively simple thought. However, there exists no guide like this one. The process this book describes is a team approach which includes the client, the designer, the architect and the contractor. Any renovation project encompasses an array of different schools of information, as does the book. Navigating design, engineering, budgeting, mental health and psychology has never been easier. Renovate, Sustain and Survive is everyone's resource to successfully and sanely completing any home renovation, no matter how small or large. From windows to doors to flooring to window treatments to paint colors not to mention positioning the area rug from Istanbul, hanging the artwork and placing the accessories- no detail is overlooked.
