We wanted to simplify our lives and eliminate our debt. Therefore the process of downsizing and building our forever dream home began.

These are the 5 Steps to Plan A Forever Dream Home that my husband and I used as we were planning our farmhouse.  With the experience of building and living in several different homes, we finally got everything we wanted in this home. Hopefully, these tips will be useful to you or someone you know who is planning a new home or a remodel.
