When we moved into our home almost nine years ago, my wife and I had so many dreams for the house we built. It had four basic walls with the necessary rooms and was a blank canvas just waiting to be drawn upon. Over time, we've discovered how we like to use the space and developed plans for it. Our ideas have flourished through use and discovery of places we've been. And slowly, over time, we've taken bits and pieces of elements we were attracted to and incorporated them into our home. One of our favorite features are built ins - wainscoting, crown molding, window seats, cabinets and more. They add dimension, charm, functionality and character to a room.

Sometimes when our customers are remodeling, they are perplexed as to how they can add appeal to their home. Maybe the space is big enough but yet something in the functionality is not right and it's challenging to determine how to make it aesthetically pleasing.  Or, maybe space becomes stale and needs warmth. Many times, customers know what they like in homes of distinction but don't quite know how to transfer that look and feel to their own house. Character can be added to any home making it warm and welcoming. It just takes some planning and realization of details to accomplish.

There are many aspects of building that achieve character. When thinking about a renovation, explore the addition of wainscoting, crown molding, coffered ceilings, inset cabinets, corner shelving, window seats and much more. We encourage our customers to peruse magazines, search on line and visit showrooms to gather ideas and information. This is time well spent when you are generating a dream and bringing it to life.
