Our current house has a detached garage as you can see in the photo above. This is the first time we’ve had a detached, and I have to say, we’ve really enjoyed it. Many would argue they would only have an attached garage, but I could go either way. I feel like they both have pros and cons. So let’s take a look at each.
To buy it or to DIY it? That is the question. Some would rather save the time and energy, while others would rather save the money. I do think it depends on what it is and really how much money you are actually saving. Also, you must consider how much value is it going to add for all the time and effort you will be putting into it.
Something many may not think about during the building process or remodeling process is sidewalk design. Sidewalks are a great place to get creative and add extra curb appeal to your home.
As much as Henry and I love building new homes, we love the character of older homes as well. It is sometimes hard to achieve the character and older look on a brand new home, but it can be accomplished. One way we are implementing this character is trying to give our exterior brick somewhat of an older look.
During our kitchen design process, we didn’t put a lot of emphasis on the pantry door. But then we realized that if we did something ordinary, we would be missing out on an opportunity to add another “wow factor” element to our kitchen.
