If you are like me, an HGTV addiction has led you to believe that homes are built in an hour on TV and decorated in 30 minutes. Create your Dream House on a Budget not only dispels those thoughts but shows you how careful planning can make a house a dream home and any project a success.

Full of gorgeous photographs, Create your Dream House on a Budget begins with the authors’ story. Daniel and Noell Jett, famous on social media as the creators of Jett Set Farmhouse, started with a beautiful piece of land. This perfectly organized book is a guide to what they did next and can be used by any homebuilder. After the initial chapters, with budgeting methods, styles, lists of tools needed and ways to source materials (this section alone is worth the price of the book), the chapters are organized by rooms. Although these chapters show details of the Jett’s build, each can be used by DIY homeowners renovating an older home. The how-to-do lists are well described and complete. Paint, wallpaper, seating needs, storage and much more are covered with step by step instructions.

Create your Dream House on a Budget is both inspirational and realistic. It is THE book to buy whether you are building a mansion or redoing your bathroom. It is thorough, easy to understand and very readable. And oh … those photographs! Pre-order your copy now!
