Builder’s Tip 💡

During your electrical walkthrough, plan where every TV will go — and add outlets + media hookups directly behind them. Nothing ruins a clean design faster than cords hanging down the wall later.

A little planning now = a much cleaner finished space. 👏

What’s one builder tip you wish you knew before building?

Today we honor the brave men and women who gave everything for our freedom. Grateful for the courage of our troops, the sacrifices of military families, and the heroes we remember this Memorial Day. May we never take their service for granted. 🇺🇸

The arched built-ins in this living room bring warmth, symmetry, and a custom feel that instantly elevates the space. Functional storage disguised as a statement feature? Always yes.

A builder’s tip you will thank us for later…

Most cereal boxes, paper towels, and even countertop appliances are around 12” tall.

Make sure to include some taller shelving at the bottom of your pantry for some of that stubborn storage! 14”-18” tall.

If you look at this pantry, from one of our recent projects, we even noted where small countertop appliances would be stored and placed outlets there to decrease clutter in the kitchen and optimize pantry use!
