Every home is unique, although older homes truly have lots of character. If you are looking to update the design, it’s a great tip to look at the style of the house for inspiration.

You are welcome Barry, that is a great quote and captures the spirit I am trying to evoke with this post. I wax eloquent about this in my portfolio:

“Most often the new is derived incrementally, from the known. It is innovation rather than the more rare–invention–out of thin air. Most good ideas have either been thought of before by others or are modest innovations. We do stand on the shoulders of giants. This is fortunate really. It means our ideas have a context, they are linked to other ideas. The connections between one idea and others grounds both the idea and the thinker.”

Cheers, Brian

Thanks Brian,

Brought to mind the song “I Can Sing a Rainbow” by Arthur Hamilton:

“Listen with your eyes,
and sing everything you see,”

Good advice.
