Quote Marks
What did we want from an Architect? Someone who would build our house (not someone who'd build the home they wanted if they owned the property)... We might boast that this feature or that feature were our idea but in truth they were Lindsay's ideas based on listening to us. Today we are finalizing two other large home renovations. One in UK, one in France. I only wish we had spent the money to fly Lindsay over to do them for us. Life would have been so much easier.
