home building & small town living IN COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA
I'm sharing the real costs of our semi-custom Schumacher Homes project, budget hacks, DIY ideas, and family life in the Lowcountry.
about me
Hi, I'm Jackie, and this is Home of Henderson.
I'm a blogger, wife, and toddler mom trading suburbia for the slower pace of coastal-country South Carolina.
When we decided to build our forever home with Schumacher Homes, I had no idea just how much life was about to change — not just the house, but our rhythms, routines, and the way we move through our days. I started this blog as a way to capture it all: the learning curve, the budget breakdowns, and the beauty of building something that feels truly ours.
NEW HERE? Come on in.
Whether you're planning a custom build, dreaming of country life, or just need to know what a septic system actually costs — you're in the right place.
We worked with Schumacher Homes to bring our forever home to life on a 1.2 acre lot we purchased about one hour outside of Charleston, SC.
From lot prep and flood zone challenges to foundation choices and finishes, we’re sharing the full timeline and real costs behind our custom home journey.
