We’re excited to share something new we’ve been working on — The Beaver Mountain Home Journal, a Substack publication offering thoughtful guidance, design inspiration, and behind-the-scenes expertise for anyone dreaming of building a custom home in the Northeast.
Over the years, we’ve heard from many clients who want to learn more about the building process, understand their options, and see real examples of how custom homes come together. The Home Journal is our way of sharing that knowledge in a warm, accessible, and easy-to-read format.
Whether you’re exploring ideas for a future project or already preparing to meet with builders, this new space is designed to make the journey more transparent and more enjoyable.
What You’ll Find in The Home Journal
Each edition focuses on the topics our clients ask about most, including:
Design Insights & Planning Tips
We break down the early stages of custom home design with guidance shaped by decades of experience. You’ll learn how to make the most of your property, refine your ideas, and move forward with confidence.
Real Client Stories
From Catskill retreats to Adirondack homes and riverfront family estates, we share the stories behind some of our favorite projects — including the design choices, challenges, and inspirations along the way.
Behind-the-Scenes Expertise
You’ll get a closer look at our site-specific design process, builder coordination, proposal reviews, and the concierge-level support our team provides.
Regional Building Knowledge
Helpful information about building in the Northeast, including seasonal timing, landscape considerations, and property-specific planning.
Lifestyle & Home Inspiration
Thoughtful ideas for creating warm, meaningful spaces that feel connected to the land you love.
Why We Created the Home Journal
Building a custom home is a significant investment, not just financially, but emotionally. Many clients tell us that before they met our team, they struggled to find clear, trustworthy information. Some couldn’t get their questions answered. Others weren’t sure where to begin or whether their land and budget aligned with their ideas.
The Home Journal allows us to share the same supportive guidance we offer in our consultations, now in a format that anyone can access, no matter where they are in their planning journey.
It’s a place to learn, feel inspired, and take the first steps with clarity.
