Grab a measuring tape (or your wand), pour something caffeinated, and welcome to our little corner of chaos.
We’re Sam and Leanne – two fifty somethings building our dream house with big hopes, small budgets and two Sphynx cat supervisors (Freya & Raven) judging every choice we make.
This site is where we document the drama, dust, designs and decisions – with humor, sarcasm, heart and a touch of witchy wisdom.
We’re not DIY experts. We’re not designers.
We’re just here to build something magical (and hopefully structurally sound).
Meet the Humans (and the Cats)
I’m Leanne, a caffeine-fueled creative with a love of new ideas, and all things a little wonky. Sam is my patient partner-in-build who is logical, kind, budget driven and suspicious of my love for unconventional tile.
Together, we’re building our not-so-perfect, dream home, one decision (and meltdown) at a time.
Supervising this circus? Our Sphynx cats, Freya and Raven – judgmental, hairless and deeply involved in all quality control efforts (especially naps).
What’s Next??
This is just the beginning, or the beginning of me telling you about the beginning. We’ll be sharing updates, lessons, disasters, design choices and the occasional broomstick breakdown as we go.
Whether you’re building a home, burning sage, or just along for the chaos – we’re glad you’re here.
