These are the 5 Steps to Plan a Forever Dream Home that my husband and I used as we planned our farmhouse. After 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.

First and foremost, having a white farmhouse had always been a dream of mine. Since the property here at the ponds didn’t come with a house, the hunt for the perfect plan began. You will learn how we strategically designed and created our dream home.
