Outdoor Spaces: Soaking Up the Spring Sunshine

Plants are peeking above the soil; open windows welcome the fresh breeze; sidewalks are filled with neighbors emerging from hibernation. All of these signs can only point to one thing: spring has arrived in Minnesota!

Few things compare to the joy that accompanies the changing seasons in the Midwest; there's nothing like enduring a long winter to make you appreciate the beauty of spring.

A thoughtfully designed home should remain enjoyable throughout every season, especially in a state like Minnesota, where we can experience all sorts of weather within the same day! This is why we go to great lengths to create homes our clients will love all year long.

As the weather starts getting warmer (and colder, and then warmer again), we can't help but reflect on our favorite client spaces to soak up the sunshine and take in the fresh air. Check out these lovely spots below!

One of the joys of building a custom home is tailoring spaces around your unique lifestyle. When it comes to designing rooms for families, it doesn’t much more fun than creating spaces for kids.

Whether we’re making a dreamy nursery for a new baby, a playroom for inspiring a 3rd grader’s imagination, or your teenager’s favorite afterschool hangout space, we love designing for kids.

From the practical to the playful, scroll below to explore a few of our favorite client kids’ spaces filled with design personality!
