Every new house begins with a dream—and a home plan. But it can be terrifying to commit a lifetime of savings to a two-dimensional drawing that's difficult to interpret and visualize. Will the space meet your needs? Is the plan well-designed? Will it really turn out to be your dream house, or is it a potential nightmare?

In Home Plan Doctor, Larry Garnett makes basic design principles accessible, explaining in clear language how to navigate every stage of the planning process, from selecting a plan to evaluating the suitability of the design, room by room, and requesting needed modifications. Using sample floor plans and illustrations from readily available plans, this book is a practical guide for everything from placing the kitchen island to evaluating the effect of the roof pitch on the proportions of the house. And Garnett doesn't overlook the basics; he includes sections on what to look for in a building site, how to read a basic floor plan, and what to expect when you order the "blueprints," or construction documents.

Whether you're purchasing a stock plan or working with an architect, and whether you're buying a design for am entire house or an addition, you'll find this handbook to be an indispensable guide.

Exclusive Home Decoration Tips from author Sabrina Soto

Choosing artwork for your home can be tricky and tiresome! But here are some simple suggestions to help relieve the pressure.

• Keep the style of your décor in mind when making your selection. You don't want your artwork to clash with existing items in your room; so, if your room is traditional, stick with traditional artwork. The same applies for modern, rustic or contemporary rooms.
  
  
• Buy artwork that is proportional to other pieces in your room. You want to create a sense of visual balance. Be careful not to choose pieces that are too large or too small for your space. A good rule of thumb is that your art work should be 60% to 75% the width of what you are hanging it over. So if your sofa is 80" wide then your art work should be no more than 60" wide.
  
  
• If you cannot afford large pieces of art, choose a series of smaller pieces that you can hang together in rows or collages.
  
  
• Avoid problems with glare by skipping the fancy frames and glass; unframed art is really popular right now and will add more depth to your space. Look for canvases stretched on frames, or prints on wood or metal backings. This will making shopping a little easier and often reduces the price of the piece.
  
  
• Always hang your art at eye level, no matter how tall your walls are. This will ensure the artwork will draw just the right amount of attention.
  
  
• Most importantly, buy what makes you happy; buy what you love!

The owners of the acclaimed stores and decorating firm Circa Interiors present eight stylish, beautiful homes blending comfort, beauty, and function with classic Southern hospitality. A house with an open door is like a friend with an open heart: inviting, generous of spirit, and constant at the core. In their first book, Jane Schwab and Cindy Smith present beautifully arranged interiors in which the trademarks of their style—subtle color palettes, graceful furniture, an emphasis on comfort and entertaining—harmonize to create fresh yet classic rooms. Walking the reader through each home with their characteristic Southern charm, they share their vision and process, from big-picture topics such as room flow and furniture plans, to the importance of entryways and setting a beautiful table. The lessons also extend from the interior to the garden, as Schwab and Smith discuss how outside spaces can become natural extensions of the home for entertaining. Throughout, they share specific ideas for arranging rooms to welcome one, two, or four people as comfortably as fifty, establishing multifunctional, adaptable gathering places that are both gracious and functional for the family of the house as well as their guests.

Ten Imperatives for Branding Success

Brands represent an organization's most valuable asset--influencing customers, prospects, investors, and employees. Why do some brand initiatives just expire midstream after an initial investment of capital and resources? Whether you are a consumer brand, a nonprofit, or a mid-size service business, here are some tips to increase the chances of positive outcomes for your initiative.

1. Ensure that your leadership team endorses the brand initiative and process. There must be a strong mandate from the top. If the commitment to revitalize the brand is tepid, it will fizzle in the middle. Do you have a plan and a disciplined process that is easy to understand?
2. Establish clear goals and an endpoint. Why are we doing this? How will things be different at the initiative's end? Will we have new guidelines to make it easier to communicate consistently about our brand to our customers and employees? Will we clearly articulate who we are and what we stand for? Will our website will work on mobile devices?
3. Establish clear responsibilities. Acknowledge that your investment will require staff time, not just writing checks. It's a collaborative process. Identify an internal person to be the direct contact for the branding firm--a "make it happen" person with superior organization skills.
4. Use a disciplined process with realistic benchmarks. Agree on what the brand stands for before any creative work is done. Use a tool like the brand brief to ensure that key decision makers agree on your brand's essence, its competitive advantage, your target market, and your value proposition.
5. Stay customer centric. The best brand decisions can only be made with the customer's needs and experiences in mind. See the world through the eyes of your customers.
6. Commit to a small decision group at the beginning of the process. Never bring in decision-makers in the middle of the process. Key decisions makers must be present throughout the process and at all key decision points.
7. Determine your readiness to make a commitment? Is your company ready to invest the time, capital, and human resources to revitalize your brand? Readiness is a critical success factor.
8. Determine how you will measure success. Consider benefits like employee engagement, and a more efficient, cost-effective marketing toolbox. Communicate that it's everyone's job to protect and grow the brand asset.
9. Launch internally first, then externally to key stakeholders. Remember to communicate why you made these changes and what they mean. Thoughtfully consider your list of stakeholders as you plan your launch. Make sure that all of your vendors have access to the new guidelines.
10. Demonstrate—don't declare—why customers should choose you over others. Seize every opportunity to communicate your value, and to radically differentiate your brand from others. Identify touchpoints where your can build trust, attract new customers, create buzz, and inspire customer loyalty.
