@KylaCT ✨A star shines brightest in the darkest nights.✨ Sweet Bella, you were a light in the world. You never allowed your circumstances to become your identity but rather created hope and strength. God brought you to change lives and show what being like Christ really meant. Your legacy will always live on. You allowed me the honour of renovating your room - the room you designed and dreamt. Although I only had a few hours with you, those hours changed me forever. Your family will always be part of the FHTH family and your room, a beautiful tribute. We love you so much and will deeply miss you. To Kyla, Lyle, and Waylon, thank you. Thank you for never losing hope and inspiring others to dream and believe. You have a community of bravelings standing with you forever RIP BELLA 🦋🩷🪽 #bellabrave #bebrave #ripbella

Day 1 of #creatingbravespaces @KylaCT Last October, I reached out to Kyla and her family about wanting to give Bella and Waylon a space to finally call home. They have lived in and out of hospitals the last 10 years while Bella underwent multiple surgeries including her most recent surgery where she received her live-saving bowel transplant. This family is family able to take a breath of fresh air and be home but their spaces hold a lot of scary memories of the past and they have never been able to make their house a home. This is where me and my team come in. We wanted to give them those spaces and finally be able to enjoy their home as it was intended. Getting to know this family and spend time with this has been and absolute joy. Experiencing the absolute light that Bella is and has been through this entire journey and seeing Waylon love upon his sister and support her along each step, makes this project even more meaningful for them both! So follow along! 2 rooms - 5 days - 1 team - a whole lot of fun! Be sure to follow everyone to see the makeovers!! @Once Upon A Bungalow @April Justine || DIY & REI @Robyn | DIY + Design @Janelle | DIY/Home Decor @Brandi Hofer #creatingbravespaces #roommakeover #bellabrave #diyhomeprojects

Part 1 of our Dream Home Build 4 year ago, I started transforming our home room by room. We decided last minute when the market was right to list and sell, one of the hardest things to do and let go of all the hard work I had out into our home. To much of our suprise and our realtor’s surprise, it sold within 36 hours. My husband’s dream has always been to own bare land and raise our family out of the hussle and bustle of the city. This moment of breaking ground has been 8 months of planning, wrestling with banks, and taking multiple deep breathes to avoid going absolutely crazy. But here we are. I cant wait to share this build with you, what its like being a general and not using a home builder, the ups and downs of planning a build, and the end result. #fromhousetohomestead #buildingourdreamhome #diyhomeimprovement #homebuildingjourney

Part 2 of Building our Dream Home - follow to see this journey unfold This week was all about the footings. I had an added appreciation for concrete contractors as this is tough work! My back and thighs were feeling the burn. They allowed me to help tie rebar which was much easier using their tools than hand tying like I did 10 years again at 8.5 months pregnant in our basement. It started to rain just before the pour but thankfully blew over as the pump truck showed up. Footings are an important part of any build as they are the main supports of the foundation. This week, we will be putting in an ICF foundation! #fromhousetohomestead #buildingourdreamhome #diyhomeimprovement #homebuildingjourney

Window dilema! HELP! This window is almost 5 feet from the floor and feels awkard and too high. I misses this detail on the plans and if the window hasnt been made yet, itll be a slight cost increase but better then buying a whole new window after its been made. I went into this build saying I didnt want any regrets which I know that js likely unavoidable but i want to make this right. So what would you do? Lower it and centre is with the other window so its centered from the outside view of the house, leave it, or match its size to the pantry window? #fromhousetohomestead #homebuild #buildingourdreamhome

We ride till the wheels fall off 💪🏻🔨 #girlboss #diyqueen #readingnook #diyhomeprojects

FINALLY Part 4 of our dream home build on bare land Framing has started and had been going fairly smoothly. I made some last minute changes because now is the time to do it vs when the roof is on and walls are tougher to move. Seeing this all come together is so cool! There is a heat wave this week but the guys plan to work right on through and get some more progress including the garage walls and possibly the trusses. I can’t wait to share this build more in depth and if you have any questions about the build process, leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have! #dreamhome #buildingourdreamhome #fromhousetohomestead #homediyproject #diyers

🔨Part 3 of our Dream Home Build🔨 ✨NOT an A D. Just really excited about the system! The last few weeks have been long! The rain and wind delayed us multiple times but we finally were able to build the frost walls and foundation on Tuesday! This coming Tuesday, framing will begin and this is when the home really begins to take shape! We went with ICF rather than a traditional foundation. This will allow for more efficient home in the long run and the durability is incredible. Our concrete crew was amazing and I was so grateful they allowed me to be part of the experience. I’ve learnt so much already about building and I can’t wait to learn more! #dreamhome #fromhousetohomestead #homebuildingjourney #icffoundationsystem
