Terra and Courtney: New Home Journals - Part 1
But "you do this for a living, it must be SO fun to design your own home!!!….."
It's a common misconception about Interior Designers ;)
Today we are starting a series about our very own … Terra and Courtney!
Ironically, they are both building new homes… across the street from each other!!
We want to share with you our build-journeys.
The good, the bad, AND the ugly ;) But hopefully mostly the good!
When it comes to building your own home, and you are a designer…
it is 100 times harder than designing for a client!
Because you are your hardest critic.
Today we will walk you through Terra's beginning stages in her home build!
First off -- The LOT.
Sitting on a beautiful 1/2 acre in Prosper, this "piece of dirt" will transform
into a gorgeous homesite for her and her family.
The official sign-off on the lot!
The most incredible part of this home is that Terra and her husband are actually the
architect AND designers on the project.
Every detail has been thought out and drawn by THEM!
Terra pulled out her drafting markers from school and went to town on the
front elevation of their home. The realistic drawing gives them a visual
to begin the design of their home.
