Review by Jodie D. Barthlow for The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Designing your Own Home

Striking out on designing one’s own house is a lonely prospect. I read every book I could get my hands on. Most provide cursory information, which left me hungry. This book goes into much greater detail on the process than any other. So start with it and then wander over to [...] and go to the home forum. That is where you’ll get a major education from people who are building homes whether with book plans, and architect, or their own design.

This book is a very helpful, easy to understand, and comprehensive guide to home design and renovation. Mr. Drapaca’s excellent sense of esthetics, great negotiation skills and committment to high quality projects evidently inspired the content of this book. We had the pleasure to work with Mr. Drapaca on the renovation of our apartment and found in the book many of the things we learned thanks to his advice.
