Happy Easter, my friends! I hope you’re being able to enjoy this long weekend surrounded by your loved ones! I’ll be cooking, baking and enjoying quiet time with my family. But before I do that, I wanted to leave you guys with a very special “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” feature.
Jessica of @carcabaroad, along with her husband Jody, designed and build this coastal farmhouse to raise their growing family. They tried to keep costs down while building this beach house and Jessica is sharing a few details about that here on Home Bunch.
Besides being busy raising their four children, they also have FOUR rental properties in Florida and, listen closely, they have renovated or built and designed all of them. How do they do all that? I am sure Jessica hides a “Superwoman” cape somewhere in her closet!
Enjoy this inspiring house tour and now you know whom to contact if you’re planning a vacay in Florida! 🙂
“People often ask how we keep our home so tighty and WHITE with four children. Our home is not always as seen on Instagram, it took days to make the entire home photo ready for the shoot. With endless options in design I tend to play it safe with neutrals and white because you can always add greenery or a pop of color with a rug, its easy to switch up a space once you become bored with it if your base is light. Our house lives well and is most definitely lived in! We make slime, we bake, we build forts, but we also are intentional about our purchases. Lately when we go on a target run we try and ask ourselves “do we need this?” One refreshing thing about moving was simplifying and decluttering and I have tried to keep up with that organization and clean slate. Rather then each kid.coming home with a junk toy, we will buy a family board game or legos, a seasonal craft. something they can do together. Like every child it can a challenge to do chores but we try to make them keep their rooms clean.”
Welcome to our Florida farmhouse! My husband and I designed and built the 2,900 sq ft 6 bedroom 3 bath home after finding this beautiful 75 by 130 sqft lot in Paradise just a block from the beach and short walk to the intercoastal.
We kept a basic exterior to stay in the budget and added versatile siding, a double door entry, front porch and back upper deck to dress up the exterior.
The grey exterior paint color is Behr Sharkskin PPU25-04.
Siding: Hardie.
Creating this home in our minds and seeing it come to life from the ground-up was truly our greatest achievement and a dream come true.
What a curb-appeal! Windows are MI Windows 1620 Series.

Our main goal as a family of 6 with 4 growing children was to build a house with an open floor plan that we could grow along with. I am one of six kids and we did a lot of room changes through our adolescence some of us as siblings would share rooms and then at other ages we would want our own space. I was sure to keep the future in mind while designing this floor plan. We shrunk the sq footage of the bedrooms to maximize living space and added a second upstairs living area. We we’re blessed with a beautiful view and windows and transoms were definitely on our top must haves.
The front doors open to a beautiful foyer with plenty of natural light.
Lighting: Joss & Main.
Rug: Vintage – Other Entry Rugs: here, here, here, here, here, here & here.
Definitely there’s no need for a fireplace in Florida but I’ve always dreamed of one and my husband surprised me one day and came home with it. That began the search for the perfect mantle and believe it or not the old piece of drift wood we used was sitting in our garage brought back from the Bahamas by his uncle. It was part of an old ship and all of the holes are from sea worms. Adds the perfect amount of character to this modern space.

As a mom of four with a husband that surfs and fishes I spend most of my time in the laundry room and in the kitchen and they are the two spaces that my husband loosened the budget belt.

A beautiful staircase with shiplap, white spindles, white newel post and White Oak treads lead to the second level of this home.
The kids are very involved in our projects we often take them to our job sites and it doesn’t end there. They witness first hand our commitment and hard work at home. Building our dream house as well as the rentals took great effort, time, investment and sacrifice for all of us as a family. Tracking the process and sharing it with others has become our passion and the kids are learning a lot along the way.

Our home is 2900 spft heated and cooled. It is 5 bedroom 3 full baths 2 bonus/office rooms and second living. 1 car garage Our goal was to stay under 3000sqft.
We believe “to be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition”. Our homes are our platforms for being and doing our best in the world, and the places where we live out our most precious, private moments. We hope to install that in our children and hope they follow their dreams to their logical conclusions where they almost all boil down to having a happy home, where we and our families can thrive and enjoy happy, secure and sometimes messy lives.
The backyard feels private and it’s perfect for entertaining.

What kind of wood is the kitchen hood vent covered in? I couldn’t find it in the websites you referred to.
Thank you!
Hi Casey,
Thank you for your comment. This is the information I got from the homeowner. Feel free to contact her via Instagram for more details.
Thank you,

@HomeBunch
I’d like to know the color of the kitchen cabinets please? Is Shaker Dove a color?
Love you house. I am interested in your double entry doors. I know they are Jeld-Wen Pro Line. Are they fiberglass? Did you order them from Lowe’s or Home Depot?
Thank you for a reply.
Sheree
Hi! I love your front door and am in the process of picking one for our new build. I was so excited to see it was Jeld-wen, as we are picking from the same company! Would you mind sharing the model and colour?
I am not seeing a working link for that beautiful entry way console table. Does the table still exist?
