A Honey Built Home creation is coming to every smartphone SOON! Yes you heard it right! We’ve created an APP to help you plan, organize, track, and design your own projects!
A Project Planning App - What it is
When you first enter the app you’ll be prompted to select from an existing project template ie. How to tile a shower, build a herringbone accent wall, install a brick wall, ect. OR you can select new project and input all of your own project details (or from another tutorial source you’ve found).
If you select a project template here's what you get:
:1. A list of tasks and subtasks with photo, video, and written instructions
2. Each task is a checkbox that is celebrated (with confetti) when you complete the task because we believe every step deserves to be celebrated.
3. A materials list as well as a tools list. These will include links to the specific products that were used in the project/ the product I would recommend for the project. No more guess which wood filler to buy or what brand of screw.
4. Calendar view. Assign each of your tasks to specific dates to help plan out your projects.
5. Expense Tracker. Always lose your receipts and need them for returns or to track your project spending? We’ve included the ability to snap and save a photo of your receipts as well as categorize your spending. See how much of your budget was spent on wood vs supplies vs decor. We’ve got your covered. + easy way to pull up receipts for those pesky after project returns.
6. Moodboard creator. One of the easiest ways to narrow down what should go into your room is to create a moldboard and see what flows together. We have added a moodboard creator right inside the app. Drag and drop your favorite wallpapers, paint colors, furniture, lights and more to create a cohesive space!
7. Resources – the resources tab is probably one of my FAVORITE parts of the app.
– wainscoting calculator
– board and batten calculator
– cut your plywood wood optimizer
– board foot calculator
-tips and tricks resource book
If you select a new project here's what you get:
1. A blank template to input your own list of tasks and subtasks + detailed instructions
2. Each task is a checkbox that is celebrated (with confetti) when you complete the task because we believe every step deserves to be celebrated.
3. A materials list as well as a tools list so you can shop with confidence that you didn’t forget something.

When can I download the app?
We are hoping to launch the app end of November 2022! We are entering TestFlight in the next few weeks to make sure all the bugs are worked out and its ready for you!
How is this different from the Project Planner and DIY Beginner Basics Course?
Some people are paper planners! Some aren’t and I get that! So for those of you who live by your phone to keep your life straight this app is for you! The physical project planner book is a wonderful resource for anyone who needs to write it down to remember it (myself included). It has 25 pockets to hold all of those receipts, paint chips, wallpaper samples and all the details you want to physically save. It truly is a portfolio of your work you can show off.
The app is for the tech lover who wants step by steps on specific projects as well as a place to house all of their ongoing projects and upcoming projects.
The DIY courses, DIY Beginner Basics and DIY Kitchen and Bath basics are still there as resources for anyone looking to start DIY but aren’t quite comfortable with power tools, painting, and all things DIY. These courses are gears to not teach you specific projects, but to teach you a set of skills that can be applied to thousands of projects. The sky the limit once you have mastered the skills inside of these two courses.
How much will it cost?
TBD, but promise, it’ll be affordable!
Be sure to stay tuned to our weekly newsletter, Sunday Something, for updates on when the app will launch as well as learn something new each week related to DIY! & be sure to follow along all the behind the scenes of projects on Instagram in STORIES 🙂
Until next time,
