Built with Schumacher homes in Charleston County, SC



We’re building our dream home on the outskirts of Charleston, SC with Schumacher Homes. No trust fund. No designer. Just DIY charm, secondhand steals, and a deep love for slow living.

This blog is my honest diary of the process — what we picked, what it cost, what we’d do differently, and the budget blueprint we wish we had when we started.

Whether you’re dreaming, designing, or about to break ground — you’re in the right place.
