A House We Built: Introduction and Product Sources

Welcome to the official website of A House We Built. We are a husband and wife team who designed and built our custom forever home in the forest. We share daily posts on Instagram @ahousewebuilt where you can follow updates and progress on our house building, styling, and decorating journey.

We designed this house from scratch together in 2016, we then broke ground the following summer, moved in the summer after that, and are now working hard on projects that make our house into a home.

This website is where we share sources from our home, tutorials, and more. Sources are all listed below or you can use our website roadmap to find room-specific pages. We always list same items where possible, or similar options (always labeled ‘similar’) if ours isn’t available. Across our website, some of our listed sources are affiliate links and also as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, which means we may earn a small commission from purchases you make through our links but it doesn’t affect the price you pay at all. We don’t collaborate with any brands and our content is never sponsored. We simply hope that sharing our sources and items we love may help you in your own decorating journey.

GENERAL INFO & FAQs:

  • Our floor plan is fully custom. We designed our house from scratch together so our plan is dear to our hearts and the result of over a year of hard work and planning. We put a lot of ourselves into this house design and, in a way, it is an extension and combination of us personally. As such, we are not releasing or sharing our plan at this time and appreciate your understanding. .
  • Our house has 6500 square feet of finished living space spread out over 4 floors. Since we work exclusively from home, our house also includes 2 home office rooms.
  • Our ceilings are 10-ft on the main floor, 9-ft on the second floor, 8-ft kneewalls and 15-ish foot vaulted ceilings on the third floor, 20-ft living room, and 10-ft in the basement. Our basement has varying heights due to our ceiling details: bathroom is 8′, hallway is 9′, rest is 10′.
  • Our windows & exterior doors are all custom made. They’re triple-pane fiberglass in Tricorn Black or Simply White. Our exterior door hardware was custom ordered with our doors.
  • Our exterior materials are a mix of engineered stone and Arctic White James Hardie siding.
  • Our shiplap is MDF. Here’s our tutorial on How to Install Shiplap.
  • Our flooring planks are all brushed white oak laminate Lionel by Evoke (no longer available) for everywhere that isn’t tile, except our stairs which are white oak hardwood (custom stain color), and basement which is polished concrete (concrete flooring details on our Basement page).
  • Our lighting is LED.
  • Our beams are all solid wood, natural color, no stain.
  • Our location is something we keep private to balance how much we share publicly, but we’re pretty open about everything else. For this reason, we do not list local sources.
  • Our build cost is one of the few things we don’t discuss because building costs varies wildly depending on building location so even if we were to post that information it wouldn’t be all that helpful given how much costs differ everywhere.
  • Our house is not for sale.
