5 tips for drawing your house plans & designing your dream home.
I can’t begin to count how many hours I spent searching online for house plans.
Seriously, if I added all the hours up they would probably equal 2-3 days.
It’s not that there weren’t countless gorgeous house plans that I scanned through, it’s just that I had a huge must-have list with some odd demands.
And I’m guessing that you may feel the same way if you are reading this post.
Sometimes the only way to get exactly what you want out of a house is to design it yourself! (And even then you can’t always get everything just exactly the way you want it in this life).
So that is exactly what we decided to do.
And since I’ve been getting an increasing number of comments, emails, & DM’s on social media about our house, the process, & specifically our house plans I thought I would share what we did, how we did it, & some tips to help you create your own house plans!
