It’s no secret that the PrairieMod Squad is in love with books. Last week we explored how the Squad took the opportunity to parlay our love of the printed word into a bona fide exercise in applying the PrairieMod principles, including “Integrate and Unify.” For the last post of the month on this particular principle, we thought we’d examine the all-important finishing touches found in the PrairieMod library.
As stated in an earlier post today, the PrairieMod Squad has a special place in their hearts for books. So much so, that I elected to build-out an unused room in my house as the official spot for the PrairieMod library. It was an excellent chance to take an under-utilized space and apply some thoughtfulness to its design and function---PrairieMod principles in action! It wasn't easy, though. One of the biggest challenges was confronting how to make an extremely small room multifunctional in its use, with the least amount of wasted space possible. This is where the idea of "Integrate and Unify" became especially useful. For the last two PrairieMod Monday posts this month, we'll look at how this particular principle helped in figuring out how to make a small library not turn into a giant headache.
If you have ever heard an orchestra play a symphony, a rock band jam or a rap artist and a DJ, you have experienced unity in action. Every musician playing their instrument in harmony with the others is needed to complete the desired effect. If even one person is out-of-sync, the results can be a total disaster. You should also look at your home as an orchestra ready to play a symphony that will be conducted by you. To succeed, the PrairieMod Principle of "Integrate and Unify" must be applied.
