When we started our new home project here in Tennessee, one of the biggest decisions we had to make was which windows to choose. It’s funny how something as simple as a window can completely change the look, feel, and long-term quality of your home, but the more we researched, the more we realized how big of a deal this choice actually was. After comparing brands, styles, and costs, we ultimately decided on casement windows from Windsor, and honestly, we’re so glad we did.
They say building a house is one of the most stressful things a couple can go through, and after doing it seven times, I can confirm that’s absolutely true. We discovered that marriage and building a house have a lot in common: both take planning, compromise, and a whole lot of love. Between budgets, decisions, deadlines, and unexpected surprises, the process can test your patience, communication, and even your marriage. Some couples don’t even make it through their first home build together, so after going through seven builds and remodels, we’ve learned a few things about surviving (and even thriving) through it.
A timeless kitchen is one that never looks outdated, even as trends change. It combines classic design, neutral colors, and high-quality materials that can evolve with your style over time. Keeping the kitchen timeless is always our main goal when designing a home. In this guide, we’ll cover the top design choices that help you create a kitchen that always feels fresh, functional, and elegant.
A kitchen remodel is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your home. But with so many options, where should you spend your money to get the biggest return? Strategic upgrades, not just a full gut renovation will deliver the most impact. In our experience, details like custom wood panels can completely change a kitchen’s look and even add resale value. We learned firsthand during a remodel we flipped that smart upgrades truly pay for themselves.
Designing a home from scratch means every detail matters. Over the past few months, we’ve been curating our favorite custom home interior design ideas to create spaces that feel timeless yet personal. Today we’re thrilled to share a first look at the interior finishes and layouts for our dining room, living room, and foyer, three of the most important spaces in our new build. We are so excited about this project and can’t wait to bring you along as we design each corner of this home as well as bring it to life.
