Dream Home Notebook | Morning Star Builders

Are you dreaming of your new home? Or maybe a home renovation? We have many tips to make this process quicker and easier!

One of the best ways to narrow down the home “look” you are aiming for is to create a Dream Home Notebook. Take some time to explore on Pinterest, Houzz, and home magazines. Print, cut, or tear out your favorite rooms, ideas, and looks. Make sure you write down what you specifically like about the photo- it’s easy to forget several months down the road!

Things to consider:

Exterior features- elevations and back yard living space

Kitchen features

Specialty items- fireplaces, beams, etc

Paint colors and textures

Floor plans

Not only is this a fun, creative task for you, but the images you save become extremely useful and helpful for your home builder, interior designer, and other vendors you work with.

And, this is just the start of the creative process. In Ted and Yvonne Cummins’ book, “Your Guide to Building a Custom Home,” they discuss more ideas and aspects you should include in your Dream Home Notebook.
