REVIEWS

Offer amateur designers cheerful, intimate opinions on creating an ideal living space...endearing enthusiasm... very useful... informal [and] occasionally amusing work."

-Kirkus/Indie Reviews

"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

"Replete with gems of practical wisdom... conventional style makes for easy reading... with an eye to optimize costs. Plenty of practical and useful knowledge to be gleaned... much thoughtfulness and detailing went into every chapter."

*****PSM - Mumbai, India

"I am a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser with over 40 years of experience in what makes a home distinctive, comfortable and valuable. ...I can honestly state, without reservation, that I don't recall ever seeing any other home with a more functional feel to its flow than Jan Evans' dream home. I strongly recommend her book to anyone contemplating building their own home."

*****RWJ - Denver

"Not a dry, 'how-to' book! Humorous & enthusiastic with a logical sequence of progression in the design/build process... well-thought-out and well-researched information, painting clear pictures of what she was talking about. It addressed aesthetics as well as practical suggestions."
