Designing a Timeless Home: DIY Dream Home Build Update (journey of hand building our home)
I have a big update on our DIY Dream Home build project in today's video!
Hand building and designing a Timeless/Traditional home, while staying in budget, is a huge challenge!

You can find more information about this build and lots of other DIY, Design, and Decorating projects at www.fletchercreekcottage.com

    How much have you spent to build this place? How much money did you save building it yourself? Is there a cost per square foot

  • @wrfarms9741
    @wrfarms9741 12 дней назад

    Great to see how much progress you have made! Since we last traded comments, we have pour the footers, poured the basement slab, and have the walkout basement Fox Blocks stacked two courses from the next level. Love your wrap around porch. We are planning something similar. It is a LOT of work but I am sure that you and your husband feel a great sense of accomplishment and approaching the finish of your home.

    I absolutely love the fabric, you selected for the cushion. However, as someone who also likes making cushions, I would personally advise making the cushion cover about an inch smaller than the actual cushion insert. This will make your cushion more puffy and lush.

    Thank God you are healing & feeling well 🙏 The fabric for the pillows is gorgeous, I was wondering where you bought it. It would make beautiful drapes as well. Your painting is soooo pretty, with the gold frame it really looks professional. Good to see you, your videos have been missed ❤😊

    • @FletcherCreekCottage
      @FletcherCreekCottage 27 дней назад

      Thank you so much! I am so happy to be back and yes, God is so good! Oh, that's a great idea, the fabric would be really pretty as drapes! I purchased the fabric from Fabric Guru and it's called "Thibaut Rye F93337 Printed Cotton Drapery Fabric in Tan". Thank you for the kind words on the painting...it's a lot of fun to just try something new!

    Oh man i love architectural salvage places. Almost got a job working w a man who goes in to demolish or remove pieces prior to their destruction. I got some of the coolest things from him just by stopping to check out the old 1800s house he was working on in my town i used to live in.... he let me take an amazing double basin oorcelain kitchen sink with the slats for a drain on the side, and a bunch of antiques out of the house. Wish i would have pursued the job. He said he had been given an old house someone was gonna demolish so he just moved it and now he sticks all the things he gets from other cleanout jobs in it. Killed me when i lost his number
