Are you looking to redo your own home, or build one from the ground up? Either way, sounds like a fun project and we would love love love to brainstorm with you!!
When we built our "dream" home, my ex and I had a folder full of exterior pictures and ideas we loved as well as interior room designs we liked. Once we had the land and knew what our budget was we hired an architect to design the home. We are not rich by any means so I was nervous about the cost of an architect but it ended up being reasonable considering they do all the detailed plans a builder would require to build the home. As long as you choose an architect that can design single family homes and you don't hire one that is a famous award winning architect who, let's see, designed something world renowned like the Twin Towers, you will be pleasantly surprised at the cost. Our home was 2400 square feet with a 2 1/2 car garage and she charged us $1800. Not bad considering we got EXACTLY what we wanted!
To design a beautiful home, i think hiring a professional home builder is the best option.
