Hi there! I’m Lane Antry, a retired software designer turned legal contract manager who has traded developing code and creating complex agreements for the art of the perfect build. While my career taught me to love solving problems with innovative solutions, my true passion lies in discovering and uncovering the deep, satisfying details of historic architecture and styling.

These days, you'll find me channeling that lifelong attention to detail into designing our dream home—a brand new, period-authentic Craftsman bungalow built to look like it has stood for a century. When I’m not creating architectural plans, tweaking material schedules, or collaborating with our builder, I'm usually out exploring the world for design inspiration, planning our next travel adventure, or immersing myself in music and literature.

I started this blog to capture every step of our bungalow's construction, from the texture of the mortar joints to the perfect trim colors. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy following along with the journey!
