When it comes to building or remodeling your home, some splurges are worth every penny! Below are what we would personally splurge on:

1. Windows: Investing in quality doors and windows not only enhances your home’s aesthetics but also boosts energy efficiency.

2. Dropped Mech Room Floors: this is something we do in our builds so any unexpected water in the mechanical room stays in the mechanical room and doesn’t make its way into the rest of your house.

3. Wood Stairs: we love wood treads, they are so timeless and elegant, but we highly recommend installing a runner because without one, those buggers are SLIPPERY.

If you want to see a list of upgrades we recommend to all of our clients, comment “FAV UPGRADES” and we’ll send you a link to our blog post!

If you built recently, what is one area you splurged on?

With so many moving parts in construction, something is bound to go wrong. And we tell every client that even if we do our job completely perfect, something is going to go wrong. And we will always fix it. Always.

Well you guys, I’ve never seen a more perfect example than what just happened. @cb2 thank you for the laugh, we all can’t stop giggling.

Who remembers this blast from the past? Taking this one way back to 2021 when we saw this wallpaper on the Parade of Homes & Ethan couldn’t keep it together 🤣

And I don’t know about you, but I think Ethan has a future in naming wallpapers & paint colors!

Tell us in the comments if you’d put this in your house!

When I designed our house, I kind of let myself go a little crazy in the whimsy department. Anything I thought was cool when I was a kid: immediately included. The only thing we couldn’t quite get to work out was incorporating a slide (no joke). I tried for a while but it just took up so much square footage I decided it wasn’t worth it.

So instead, we just went wild hiding all of the things. Hidden pantry? Check. Hidden playroom? You got it. Mechanical room? I don’t want to see it.

If you were building, what would you hide in your house?

One of our favorite spaces in #TheArtemisHouse? The screen porch, no question! 🤍 It has all the good stuff: recessed infrared heaters, automatic screens and vinyls, plus accordion patio doors to completely open up the space!

As the owner of a design build firm, I’m often ask what upgrades are worth it and which ones to skip. And boy do I have a lot to say!

From pot fillers to heated floors, there are certain things that have become a must in my book. And if you want to read even more, comment “quality” & we’ll DM you a link to our blog post talking more about it.

Tell us below what upgrades were 100% worth it when you built. I’d love to hear!

Tell me you’re obsessed with home design without telling me... 😅 Is it a little extra to build a custom cabinet just for a plunger? Maybe. Is it worth it to never have to look at an ugly plastic plunger sitting on your beautiful tile again? 100%.

Can anyone explain the phenomenon where your kids will eat any vegetable if they can pick it from the garden, but the minute you take that same veggie from that same garden put it on their plate, all bets are off? 🙃

This spring we built a greenhouse to finish off our garden and hands down it was one of the highlights of our summer. We spent so much time out there after work & school and on the weekends, and it was so much fun see the girls get so excited about it.

So take this as your gentle nudge if you’re considering building a greenhouse or garden to go for it!
