In reply to Shelly Thompson. Thank you so much, such a labor of love that we are SO happy to be enjoying. I got that bench at a thrift store so I don't know where you could get one too!

Your home is absolutely beautiful!!!! It is amazing to hear that 99% of the work was done by your husband and yourself. Congratulations on a job well done!!! In the guest room you have a lovely bench. Did your husband make the bench or was it purchased from a store? If purchased, please state the store.

I agree, Ashley’s work (and she herself) is most definitely amazing. I wish I had just an ounce of her talent. It will be some time before we get the ball rolling on our house. Were finishing updating stuff to the house we own now then have to sell, find property and move across the country before we get going (yikes!).

In reply to Katie. We are meant to be besties, just saying! And isn't Ashley AMAZING her cow has such good juju, and I love having her work in my home. Holler if you need any help in the house depot even if it's just moral support because building a house is so so much work, emotionally and physically. I'm so glad we are in ours and enjoying if. Even if it's not done! Slow and steady! I can't wait to hear how it goes for you~

I found your blog after searching for people who have built/are building their own homes. My husband and I are planning to build (although much smaller..cant imagine trying to do over 5000sqft! Holy cow!) But reading through this post i saw the “ashley, etsy” and then the cow picture and laughed at how the internet can be so small at times because I follow her instagram! I actually just bought one of her angels. Anyways..just found that amusing! Im also in awe of your house build, cant wait to see it fully finished!

Holy cow!!! I’m beyond impressed with your accomplishment. I just found your blog today as I was looking for chicken leg recipes ;). May this beautiful house bring you and your family much joy for many years.
