HOW IT ALL STARTED Shortly after her son Andrew was born, Melissa started compiling a folder she called her “dream book.” This folder contained a variety of ideas (paint colors, furniture styles, etc.) for what she called her “someday house.” As part of her quest for this “someday house,” she also checked Sunday newspapers every week for house plans that she might like, and as she says, “seemed to forever be cutting them out and stuffing them into my folder.” Armed with her well-stocked “dream book” and countless hours of research, Melissa had compiled a pretty specific mental image of what the “someday house” should be like. Husband John made her search all the more easy. “John’s only pre-requisite was that the home should have only three bedrooms,” she says. “He didn’t want a huge house, and I said, ‘If that’s the only criteria, I’ll be fine. I know exactly what I want.’”
