As much as possible, give qualitative not quantitative
information. We want you to present us with
questions not answers; that way we can be sure to
get to the heart of the matter and not run the risk of
missing the real issues. We may know more than one
way to resolve a problem or create an outcome. If this
is hard, tell us what and why you like or don’t like
something in your house or in a place you used to
live, or something you have seen at someone else’s
house. Give examples. Use as many descriptive words
as you can. 
If there are differences of opinions amongst members
of your household, let us know all the opinions; we
want to address everyone’s concerns and may be
able to create something that works for everyone. 
Don’t try to solve the problem, just express your
desires, even if they seem at odds with each other or
impossible to obtain.
Don’t be afraid to think about and tell us what your
“perfect world” would be like. 
If it is relevant, try to anticipate future needs or
changes. 
We encourage you to collect images that you like;
consider images of particular things that you like, or
ones that create a good mood or feeling, and maybe
pictures that you are simply drawn to. 
If a question is not relevant to your situation, just skip
it.
As you go through the questions, keep a few things in
mind: 
