Our second house is one that my husband and I designed ourselves. It has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and is 2,900 square feet. We hired a builder to build the shell out the house (walls, roof, electrical and plumbing rough in, HVAC, drywall, etc.) and we are slowly finishing the rest of it ourselves. It’s a labor of love for sure, but in the end it will be worth it (at least that’s what I keep telling myself!). We’ve been living in it for under a year and still have a long way to go, so keep that in mind! This isn’t one of those perfectly polished home tours, right now we are in the messy middle.
