Dream come true! Building a new home is something I’ve wanted to do for-ev-er. I have been talking my husband Chris’s ear off about this since before we even bought our current house, and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since. Earlier this summer, we finally decided to take the plunge and haven’t looked back!
Our new home is going to be in a big master-planned community outside of Dallas, Texas. We have lived in the DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) area for the past 3 years so are pretty familiar with the different suburbs, and this is one of the fastest growing ones with lots of young families and great schools for our future kiddos. Our house will be walking distance to biking trails, swimming pools, tennis courses, and even a 5 acre manmade lagoon with a private beach!
We were one of the very first people to sign with our builder, so we were also able to pick out an oversized lot, and we’re looking forward to setting up a nice outdoor living space and hopefully a pool in the future to deal with the Texas heat.
As you may know, this life change is what prompted me to launch this blog! In the upcoming months, my plan is to share our experience, including all the behind-the-scenes decision-making and designing, and I hope it gives you some ideas and inspiration, whether you’re considering building yourself or looking for ideas to spruce up your home. If you have any specific blog post requests or ideas, please let me know in the comments below!
