ForeverHomeDesignAbout Me
Welcome to Forever Home Design, hosted by me, Cynthia Leibrock. I'm an award-winning author, an international lecturer, and a designer with more than 30 years of experience. My mission is to improve the lives of older and disabled people through design, which allows yourself, your parents, or loved ones to stay at home longer.
AARP has asked me to spearhead their two room remodels through its Recession Room Remodel contest. My team of designers is in the middle of remodeling a bathroom in Washington state and a kitchen in North Carolina. Here in my journals I'll post checklists, home must-haves, and low- to no-cost fixes you can do yourself.
Imagine your home as a place for regeneration, a sanctuary for healing the wounds of the outside world. It is clean, not cluttered and unmanageable. It prevents disease and injury and restores you when the inevitable occurs. It regenerates you on a daily basis, supporting good sleep, encouraging exercise, and making it fun to do healthy cooking.

me and my family are thinking about buying one house like this
itis so asome because my whole family likes it
these examples are great brainstorm starters. my husband and I are in the midst of trying to make a safe apt. for my mom-in-law who uses a walker. part of our trouble is wishing to make immediate temporary changes, while also leaving open the possibility of remodeling for permanent changes.
(in other words - she may have to move here in a week and live with imperfect design of our 1927 home - but we might also be able to hire someone to make a new bathroom for her over months...)
do you have any advice on the temporary side of things?
