If you follow along on Instagram, you know Michael and I have been building our dream home for what seems like years at this point. It's been such an exciting process, and one we feel so fortunate to be able to do. When we first started, I thought my years of pinning and bookmarking pretty spaces would have prepared me for designing my own home. After all, it can't be that hard, right? Or at least that's what I thought, ha! After a few meetings with our builder, it became very clear to me that wasn't the case. I knew I needed to find a designer I trusted and could keep an eye on all the details - details I didn't even know existed until she would point them out to me later in the process.
