So, in this portion of the planning, I've actually broken it up into two different videos
for you.
The first one is all about getting a big picture idea, mapping out your rooms, making sure
you know what rooms you're going to tackle, what number it's going to be in the flow or
the mapping, how many colors you're going to have overall, how many accents you're going
to think about bringing in overall, how dense each of the spaces are going to be, and how
formal each of the spaces are going to be.
I don't want you to worry about getting it just perfect right now.
I'm going to show you how we use those more dense, less dense, more formal, less formal
in the third video when we lay out in the keep, pitch, and mix section.
But I want you to have a handle on how we lay these projects out, whether they're big
or small.
In this section, I'm going to talk to you about the execution portion of holiday homes.
This is where many people break down.
You've got all these boxes, you bring them in, maybe you didn't put everything away just
right last year, you stuffed some things in, you didn't wrap it properly, you didn't
store it properly, there are bugs in the boxes, I don't care how meticulous you are, there
are always issues like this.
So in terms of executing or installing a project, a holiday home, I want to show you how we
do it professionally and then give you the same tools that we use so that you can use
them in your own home.
If you remember, each room is going to have its own page, and we use both paper copies
and we'll take pictures of them and we'll upload them to the cloud.
We'll use Dropbox, we'll use iPages, we'll use all sorts of different programs, whatever
works for the particular project that we're working on.
On page three, I have an example for you.
Every room has a page with the name, the M number, I'm going to write this on the board
for you.
So every room is going to have the name of the room, it's going to have an M number,
if you want to just use your own terminology, you can just put a number, it's going to have
a C number with the number of colors and the number of accents.
Again, you can use your own schedules or systems or your own, whatever is going to resonate
most with you.
I'm just sharing with you the professional tools that we use that make it very easy for
us to register quickly and know, okay, we're going to look at the space, we know it's got
a density of this, a formality of this, and then we can allocate resources to that space.
It's going to have a D number and it's going to have an F number.
And this is each space within your holiday home.
So just for example's sake, I'm going to put a 50% and I'm going to put a 3.
Again, on page four, you have a bunch of example pages that you can print out and we've actually
provided you with blank pages inside your PDF so that you can use those and print them
out just like we do.
The next thing you're going to do, don't panic, is a hand sketch.
I always say it's as simple as possible.
The hand sketch that you want to do has to be in the simplest blocks possible because
you don't want anyone who's helping you install to have to have a design degree or be able
to read renderings in order to understand where things go.
I always say don't do it to scale, it doesn't matter.
You want to use blocks for the major parts of the room.
You just want to identify major elements.
The purpose of the hand sketch...
