Welcome!

HouseBaby began with a 1920s gem we lovingly restored. For years, we poured energy into reimagining and reshaping that old house, blending DIY ingenuity with our backgrounds in architecture and engineering. Along the way, we learned as much from our mistakes as from our successes. Over half a decade of navigating DIY disasters, discovering that one can never have too many power tools, and learning that compromise is the glue that holds a marriage (and drywall) together, we transformed every square foot into something uniquely ours.

​

Now we are turning the page to our boldest project yet: designing and building a forever home from the foundation up. This blog is where we share that journey, alongside the lessons and insights gathered from our first home and every sketch in between. It is equal parts portfolio, journal, and design conversation, sprinkled with humor, humility, and the occasional design disaster story.

​

Our goal is simple: to make design feel approachable, inspiring, and practical. Whether you are planning a renovation, starting your own new build, or looking for seasonal inspiration, you will find ideas here that balance creativity with real-world practicality.

​

On HouseBaby, you will discover:

  • Design Guides that break down complex choices into clear steps

  • The Dream Home Journal, documenting the process of designing a custom house we will live in for decades

  • Inspiration and Shopping Guides with curated finds that look high-end without the price tag

  • DIY and Crafts that bring seasonal warmth into any home

  • Portfolio Highlights that showcase projects, transformations, and design thinking in action

 

At its heart, HouseBaby is about creating spaces that feel intentional and lived in, homes that welcome family, adapt to change, and reflect the people inside them. Thank you for following along as we build our next chapter. We hope the ideas here help you feel inspired, empowered, and ready to make your own house feel more like home.
