Where’s the Stairs?

By |2021-03-31T09:36:55-04:00September 29th, 2014|New Home Features|

Typically home designs include the stairs near the front entrance often in the foyer. The stairs can be one of the first things guests see when they enter your home. That may not always be a good thing if the stairs end up as a catch-all for items you eventually will carry to the second [...]

An extra seat in my WHAT?

By |2021-03-08T15:45:36-05:00September 26th, 2014|New Home Features|

Homebuyers have a strong preference for a "powder" bath or 1/2 bath so guests need not appreciate your son's rubber duckies in the tub. However, we've all seen homes where that powder bath location left us a bit... bewildered. Bathroom noise is one issue to consider, as is the view. Specifically, if the door to [...]

Basically, you cannot use someone else's home design without their written permission, which usually requires paying a fee to "license" the use of that home design for the purposes of building your new home. Even if you intend to make changes to the design, you must first [...]

  Room Dimension 11'-0" W. x 10'-10" D. Debate continues on minimum acceptable secondary bedroom sizes, especially homes envisioned for first- and second-time buyers.

Bright Idea!

By |2021-03-09T10:30:32-05:00September 16th, 2014|New Home Features|

Adequate light levels are non-negotiable, especially as homeowners age, and less of the available light passes through their eyes' lenses. Over-the-mirror bath light bars are still common but are being augmented by pendant lights or wall sconces flanking both sides of the mirror providing better overall illumination for applying makeup or for his shaving.
