Ask anyone you know who’s done it before, and they’ll all tell you the same thing: building a custom home from scratch is HARD!

The sheer number of decisions you have to make can be overwhelming. Couple that with the price tag, the wide breadth of specialties needed, the timeline (it always takes longer than you think), and coming to a consensus with your partner about these decisions—and new construction can certainly be a recipe for stress.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this blog post, we will share our improved custom home build process and the top three benefits of our newly expanded services.

Design trends may come and go, but classic Farmhouse design lives forever. The cozy nostalgia of a bygone era is as welcoming as a warm plate of cookies—we just can’t resist! ‘Modern Farmhouse’ came into our collective consciousness thanks to the charmingly creative design of Johanna Gaines’ HGTV show and subsequent Magnolia magazine. Johanna came on the scene at the tail end of the Provincial French revival and reminded us just how much we missed Grandma’s house and the simple life it represented. Before ‘Cottage Core’, there were shiplap walls, bright white-on-white palettes, and plenty of natural fabrics, twigs in jars, and candles.

Anyone looking to build a custom home knows that choosing a house plan is the most exciting first step.

Unlocking the Benefits: Why Building an ADU is a Smart Choice for Homeowners

Posted by Gabbie Gately on Apr 27, 2023 12:30:00 PM

An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a self-contained living unit that can be located on the same property as a primary residence. ADUs can either be attached to the primary residence (such as a basement or garage conversion) or can be stand-alone structures (such as a small cottage or guest house).

Other names for ADUs include granny flats, in-law suites, laneway houses, backyard cottages, and secondary suites. They are typically smaller in size compared to a typical single-family home, but still contain all the necessary amenities for independent living, such as a kitchen, bathroom, and living space. ADUs are becoming increasingly popular as a way to increase housing density and address the shortage of affordable housing in many areas.

We’ve all been there—ogling over a gorgeous home on Tour, in a magazine spread, or on one of our favorite HGTV renovation shows. The rooms have such personality and life—and that’s not just the lighting. These homes have been professionally staged—and it shows.
