Luxury isn’t just about how it looks—it’s about how it feels.

Our primary bath was designed to feel like a private retreat, where every detail is intentional and every moment feels indulgent.

His & her showers.
Oversized rain shower head.
A statement-sized niche illuminated with dimmable LED lighting.
Reflective ambient lighting that transforms the space after dark.
Heated floors underfoot.
Steam generator.
An Airmada air-jet drying system.
Not one, but two heated air-jet tubs.
And views of the Shenandoah River through our Debesto windows that makes it all feel even more extraordinary.

Because the ultimate luxury is having a space that makes you never want to leave.

The best design knows when to disappear. ✨ Discreet screening and minimal cable railings keep the focus on what matters most—the view.
Every detail was thoughtfully designed to preserve clean sightlines and create a seamless connection between the comfort of the indoors and the beauty of the landscape beyond. Nothing in the way. Just the view.

Our replacement windows and custom exterior doors finally made their way onto a container ship sailing to us from Poland.

To say we’re excited is an understatement.

Our building timeline was slightly thrown off due to a window miscommunication with our engineer. It ended up working in our favor as Debesto launched an amazing door line that we pivoted to.

Our builder will finally be able to get back to what they do best- building.

Some of the biggest decisions when building a home are the ones you notice every single day.

For us, the windows and doors were always going to be an important part of the design. We wanted clean lines, beautiful proportions, plenty of natural light, and a connection between the inside and the outside. 🪟✨

We ordered our windows and doors from Debesto Poland, and it’s been exciting to see them finally become part of the house.

There’s something special about watching the spaces come together — one window, one door, one detail at a time.

Can’t wait to share the amazing front and side entry doors once they are in.

Another detail taking shape on this project.

Our cable railing system is installed, providing a clean, modern finish while maintaining an open, unobstructed view.

We’re looking forward to seeing all the details for this project come together.

We wanted our cabin to have character- thoughtful interior details, beautiful ceiling lines and rooflines that felt intentional from every angle. Our builder took that vision and brought it to life in a way that exceeded what we had hoped for.

The level of engineering and craftsmanship that went into this roof is truly unbelievable. From the way the rooflines flow with the design of the cabin to details you notice once you step inside, every element was carefully considered.

We’re so grateful to have a builder who understood what we were envisioning and that has the skill and attention to detail to execute it so beautifully.

This is how we CFB Saturdays!

Can’t wait until we are doing this with a view!

Some of the best family traditions start with the simplest moments.
On our way to check out the cabin build,
we made our usual stop at our favorite detour restaurant.
It's more than just a stop along the way now. It's becoming part of our story, a little tradition we look forward to every trip.

We may be building a cabin, but along the way, we're building memories, creating new traditions, and giving our family moments we'll talk about for years to come.

Here's to the places, meals, and little rituals that become part of what "home" means.

Week O - CFB is back!!!

We were hoping to be watching College Football from the lanai of our new build, cold drink in hand...but we're a little behind schedule, so instead of breaking in the new build with football, we've settled in for some home sweet home football this weekend.

New cabin: Still under construction
Us: Still ready for football

When the propane estimate comes back and you’re over budget on all the things…
