1. Identify the project. Will it be a new home, an addition to your existing home, a kitchen or bath remodel or some combination of these? Each has its own budgeting method. While a simple "per square foot" cost may work for a new construction project, it definitely won't work for kitchen and bath remodels. And for something like an addition or renovation to a historic home, toss out any sort of cost guidelines. The best approach to establishing a budget for projects like these is to talk to professionals with experience.

Curves give a softer feeling to architectural structure. A feminine vibe.

Love it

Here's a style that is rarely reproduced in modern construction: the Chateauesque style. This is mostly due to the fact that the majority of the homes are covered in a cut limestone veneer, which is quite cost prohibitive. This appears to be a townhome example, very nicely detailed. The only thing lacking on this design is a gabled through the cornice dormer with finials. If you've been to the Biltmore, you've seen the ultimate expression of this style.

Love the gothic
