E02: Happy accidents, the ups and downs of building your own home, and value-centered design.

The only thing harder than finding the perfect house is finding the perfect place to build it! In this episode I interview my friend and fellow realtor Laura, who has had the joy of building her own home and shares some of the challenges of doing that.

While she might live in a custom-built house now, Laura started humbly like the rest of us, and she has never been afraid to roll up her sleeves and do the work necessary to achieve the look and feel she wants. Find out what potentially dangerous lengths she went to in order to decorate the 12-ft walls in her first house, and why her accidental oversize island turned out to be just what her kitchen needed.
