  • Note: I currently live in the US and most of the construction and design process took place in my absence. It is important to have someone you trust oversee the process if you're unable to!
    When building a home on your own, mistakes might be inevitable. Here are some more mistakes I made building and also 1 bonus regret I had when it came to buying a house.

    One of the issues with the cabinets is that it shouldn't be placed above the window, I know this may have been done because of space, because you would have to be a tall person to reach it without a ladder. So the intension and the reality doesn't work in this instance. As i see it you could remove the middle cabinet and do a custom build there to level it off. While it maybe smaller it would look much better than what you have now.

      I understand. I do prefer cabinets to go to the ceiling for a few reasons. Nonetheless, there’s no going back on anything, at least not in the immediate future; money finish so it has to be lol.

    Gosh you are so knowledgeable, which is incredibly helpful to a lot of people, including myself. You wouldn’t have any idea how your experience has helped others. Thank you so much for sharing. Btw do you have a contact for the draftsman you used to do your home? Would really appreciate this.
    Many thanks my lovely.

      Thank you for those kind words! I am working on getting permission from everyone to share their information. Only the window guy is willing to share so far.

    Yea, mistakes were made, but it was all a learning experience. I think a lot of us can relate, 'champagne taste on a beer budget'.
