GIVEN HOUSE

Welcome friends! This Spring we have officially broken ground on what we are calling our “Given House” so named because we gave it to God and the house will be just what He has planned. Kirk and I hope and pray this home will be filled with love, laughter, and lots of friends and family.

Because this will be our “age in place” home and because I work in the design realm, I am journaling our decision making process, our progress, and any ups and downs along the way of building Given House.

Kirk and I worked with a wonderful architect, Sarah Ferrall, justDesign, and together we tried to think of everything Kirk and I would need as we grow older.  Two important details include locating our Master Bedroom and Laundry Room on the first floor. We also chose to do a Zero-entry shower complete with a seat and grab bar. The house will be illuminated with lots of recessed lighting, have no steps between rooms on the same level, and a yard size we can always easily manage.

Our ultimate intent is to create a home that will be low maintenance! And because I expect we’ll have lots of company here at the beach, I do not want to worry or be upset by sandy feet and wet bathing suits!

XOXO
