THIS IS SOOOOO TRUE! I was the person in charge of rebuilding our family summer cottage. I have 4 sisters, each of whom had a different vision for the project; no one would compromise. And no one could/would agree on anything. The house is finally finished, but, well, it looks like the product of 5 "designers" who could not agree.
