Introduction

Hello! And welcome to Our Carolina Haven! I’m so glad you’re here.

In the summer of 2023, my husband and I moved our family of five across the country to North Carolina for his work. This move served at the perfect opportunity to design and build our “forever” home, a life-long dream of mine.

I’ve started this blog as a way to document the build process and explore my aesthetic tastes as we build. As someone whose professional experience is far from what anyone would deem “creative,” I’m eager to use this blog as a means to explore my creativity and capture some of what I learn about the construction process along the way. My hope is to document the intricacies of homebuilding, share the highs and lows and the triumphs and challenges.

I am so excited to create a haven where cherished memories will be made and to embrace a journey of creativity, growth, and the fulfillment of long-held dreams for our family. May this blog inspire you in your own design journey, gain insights into the build process, or find the courage to pursue your heartfelt desires. Thank you for joining me—I am thrilled to have you by my side as we begin this new adventure!
