HI Elizabeth
My nine year old daughter and I have been looking at your William Morris book ‘Decor and Design’ to help her with a school project. I find your explanations and observations so understandable and exact for a layman like myself – what a great skill you have.
I am embarking on a house building project of my own. We are hoping to build a new modern house with a distinct ‘nod’ towards the Arts and Crafts design. DO you think this is achieveable? am I mad!?! When reading your book I instantly wished that you were sitting with me as I look at the architects sketches. Is such a thing possible (in a virtual way)? We have a sensible enough budget for construction but are not wealthy affluent home counties types with streams of cash. My ambition is to create a home of integrity for my family rather than a show piece for external admirers. Are you able to guide or help in such circumstances?
Best wishes
