Entertain in a Show-Stopping Kitchen

Let’s be honest—everyone ends up in the kitchen! 😄 That’s why our custom homes feature spacious, open-concept kitchens designed for gathering and gourmet cooking.

Entertaining-ready features include:

Design Tip:

Add fresh greenery, a festive candle, or a seasonal bowl of citrus fruits to your island for a cheerful, functional centerpiece!

Prep a Beverage Bar or Serving Station

A custom beverage bar adds instant elegance to your hosting game. Whether it’s hot cocoa for the kids ☕ or cocktails for the adults 🍸, having a designated drink space keeps things flowing (literally).

Holiday bar must-haves:

Pro Tip:

Add a chalkboard menu or letter board with your featured drink of the night for extra charm!

Set the Mood with Ambient Lighting

Lighting makes all the difference when it comes to holiday magic. Our custom homes include dimmable overhead lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and statement pendants for layered warmth. 🕯️

Add soft white string lights, lanterns, and flameless candles around your living space for an added glow. Don’t forget the fireplace—real or electric—for cozy vibes! 🔥

Create a Dining Experience to Remember

Your formal or semi-formal dining area is where memories are made. Whether you're gathering around a rustic farmhouse table or a sleek contemporary set, set the stage for unforgettable moments:

Design Feature Highlight:

Built-in bench seating or banquettes add comfort and style to everyday dining and special occasions!

Prepare Guest Spaces with Comfort in Mind

Expecting overnight guests? Make them feel at home in your custom guest suite with thoughtful touches:

Bonus:

If you included a second-level bonus room, finished basement, or guest loft in your custom design, these areas make great private retreats for visiting family!

Decorate with Intention

Take advantage of your home’s architectural charm—vaulted ceilings, wide mantels, oversized windows, and custom staircases make perfect backdrops for holiday cheer. 🎄

Decor ideas by feature:

Add a festive playlist and a scented candle (like cinnamon, pine, or vanilla), and you’ve set the stage for magic. 🕯️
