My wife and I had no experience doing anything with our hands. I’m a software engineer at my day job, so I spend much time learning what to do on YouTube. My dad is a pretty handy guy, though, so I leaned on him a lot for help, but he’s out of state, so there is only so much he could do. This is inside an 1890 Denver Victorian, and we tried to keep the design elements relevant. We probably spent about $15k on materials.
