Embracing Idaho’s Beauty in Custom Home Design

Two and a half years of planning, designing, and building—it’s been quite the journey for our sweet clients! New construction is an exciting process, but many don’t realize just how many decisions go into creating a truly custom home. From the foundation to the final styling touches, Idaho custom home design requires careful thought, expert craftsmanship, and a team that understands the vision from the very beginning.

Before ground is even broken, most builders ask for the following selections to be made:

• Windows & doors
• Exterior stone, siding, roof shingles, colors, and details
• Millwork styles for interior baseboard, door & window trim
• Beams – style, color, wood
• Cabinetry & countertops
• Appliances
• Fireplace design, insert, and material
• Interior flooring
• Shower & backsplash tile
• Plumbing fixtures
• Lighting

With so many decisions on the table, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where I come in. My backgrounds, both in art and architecture, have given me a deep understanding of both structure and aesthetics, allowing me to bridge the gap between construction and design. Seeing beyond blueprints, I help you envision how each space will feel and function once it’s brought to life. Whether it’s ensuring materials complement one another, refining architectural details, or adding layers of warmth through furnishings and color, my role is to make your home design process smoother and more inspiring.

This particular home, perched above the stunning Lake Coeur d’Alene, is a perfect reflection of thoughtful design and natural beauty. The lovely stone details complement the breathtaking mountain views, creating a peaceful retreat where the homeowners can truly relax and enjoy the scenery. Whether sipping coffee on the patio in the crisp morning air or watching the wildlife from their living room, this home is designed to embrace the rhythm of nature.

Bringing a home like this to life takes a dedicated team of builders, craftsmen working together to ensure every detail aligns with the homeowner’s vision. Idaho custom home design is about more than just constructing a house—it’s about creating a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a space that tells a story.

I can’t wait to share more about this incredible home in the coming months. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes details and inspiration from this stunning project!
