From unexpected flooring costs to skipping extra square footage, here’s how we built a 2,201 sq ft farmhouse we could actually sustain — without stretching beyond our means.

When you’re building a home, you want to prepare for everything. You want to be ahead of every possible curveball. But the honest truth? Some things are going to happen no matter how prepared you are.

If I could go back and give my past self one thing during our custom home build, it wouldn’t be a bigger budget or a faster timeline. It would be this tool.

Comfy Cozy was the name of the game for our forever home, and the living room understood the assignment. This is obviously where we spend the majority of our time, so I really wanted it to be timeless and exude the ultimate comfort. This is a series where I'm going room by room in our custom modern farmhouse build, and sharing all my finds and choices! To see my other videos of walk throughs of our home, follow me on Instagram!
