Homebuilding Tips

Think of it as the cool hipster of architectural styles.

The kitchen is the absolute heart of the home, and it is one of the biggest reasons why so many of our customers decide to go custom. Because you spend so much of your time in the kitchen, this room should also reflect your design aesthetic.

When you build a custom home there are lots of exciting design decisions to make. So many that it’s easy to be overwhelmed. Not to worry. Our Custom Home Design 101 Guides offer practical information to help you decide what’s best for the look you want in your home. Like choosing the right flooring.

When you think of your dream home you can probably envision what a lot of the rooms will look like. Kitchen? Check. Master suite? Check. Maybe you have Pinterest boards set up by room and filled with ideas (smart thinking). But have you thought about what you’d like the exterior of your home to look like?

Argh! That’s how clutter can make you feel. We’re not talking about the hoarding kind of clutter that will land you on a reality show (and, hey, no judgments). We’re talking about that everyday kind of clutter that just seems to take over your house no matter how hard to try to stay on top of it. And it’s understandable: busy lives, hectic schedules, and everyday life can keep you from feeling like your home has that sparkly-clean-fresh feel you love.

There are lots of really fun decisions to be made when designing your kitchen, whether you’re an enthusiastic home cook or just love some tasty takeout.

With dozens of custom home floor plans to choose from, you have lots of options. And here’s the best part: if you see a feature in one kitchen that you’d like to add to a different floor plan, we totally do that.
