A Home for Hosting

Building a house, and a family, one step at a time.

How can you create a home that’s more welcoming, more inviting, and more people will be blessed by entering? Well we’re not entirely sure, but here’s a sample of what we’re doing to try to create a Home for Hosting. On this site you’ll find how-to’s, stories, a build blog, and product and technique reviews on what we like, what we’d do differently, and what to avoid when building your own home.

(Oh yeah, we are still very much building this site and importing a ton of posts over from our previous home building blog which was pretty haphazard. BUT, we are already getting some pageviews despite not yet sharing it anywhere, so if you happen to stumble upon this site somehow, please check back later when we’ve got it all prim and proper!)

I take it back.

Went to the counter guys’ shop where we had sent our slab from Toronto and took it home with the illogical intent of cutting it up for our laundry room. Still sitting outside under a tarp.

Dirty laundry

Ikea cabinets with an Ikea Domsjo single sink make up the laundry room cabinetry. I haven’t gotten much further with this room yet, unfortunately, but the same quartzite countertops as are in the kitchen will eventually cover all this up.
