Floor Plans + Tips
Candace and her husband took their vision to reality by drawing up the floor plans themselves, and within just three months of breaking ground, their dream home was completed.
Tips
Candace highly recommends the use of spray foam insulation for optimal efficiency and comfort.
Another smart addition was the play loft, providing a dedicated space for the kids.
Additionally, a door connecting the master closet to the laundry room added convenience to their daily routines.
However, Candace advises against spiral stairs, appreciating their aesthetic but finding them challenging when it comes to moving items around the house.
She also advises against using snow white quartz, as it proved to be difficult to clean and prone to staining, highlighting the importance of practicality and durability when choosing materials for your home.
