We are doing the official changing of the mudroom We are doing the official changing of the mudroom guard today from summer to winter. Sad and happy day 4 things we always add to a mudroom when building a custom home: Lockers— with at least 2 hooks, ventilated cabinets and a charging port Place for TONS of shoes— family and kids = endless shoes Sock storage— again… kids…. Running back upstairs for socks for 3 people because we all forgot doesn’t help the rush out the door Durable flooring— water, dirt, boogers and maybe even some blood (IYKYK— those rollerblade crashes are no joke). We want to make your clean up life easy. What else would you add? Design: @viewfrommyheels Build: @highline_constructionllc 📷: @jessicadelaneyphotography

Hate your floors? Carpet? Kitchen? Start with art Hate your floors? Carpet? Kitchen? Start with art. Want help finding the perfect piece? We got you. Sourcing art is one of our favorite things to do. It can be tempting to want to redo all the other aspects of your home. But if that’s not in the plan right now, slowly start adding art. The aspects you don’t like about your house will become much less noticeable when you have pieces you love hanging on the walls. Sound too good to be true? Trust is, it’s not. #art #interiordesign #customartwork #customhomes
You CAN have a beautiful home AND your messy kids You CAN have a beautiful home AND your messy kids You’ve always been told that you can’t have kids and nice things but guess what?? That’s a lie. You just have to PLAN for your kids to likely try to ruin your nice things 😆 Cue interior designer + contractor that know custom homes AND kids We can plan your New Build Home to be BEAUTIFUL and to withstand little kids! And teenagers (arguably dirtier IMO) We are mindful about how your family will beat up on furniture, flooring, cabinets, and yea… even the plumbing. You CAN have a really nice home and be a relaxed parent. In fact, we highly encourage it. Want help? We got you. Let us design and build your dream home that you will love to actually live in. #kids #messykids #interiordesign #customhomebuilder #utahhomes #icfconstruction #designforlife #familydesign #family

$3? $5? What is this world coming to? But in all $3? $5? What is this world coming to? But in all seriousness things are not what they used to be. Building a home can be stressful financially UNLESS you do these things 1️⃣ START your project with a contingency This is money you intentionally set aside for increases in pricing or an addition you just HAVE to have 2️⃣ Make decisions UPFRONT This is one Ben and I are SO intentional about. The more decisions you can make upfront the better off you’ll be. You will likely have to make some changes, but they are not as big of a hit financially as waiting until the last minute and being forced to make a cheap decision or an expensive one. 3️⃣ Order Early Again— don’t force yourself into a bad decision because of timing. We like to order must have materials early and store them to make sure that perfect ____ (tile, sofa, appliance— whatever) makes it into the design and the build. 4️⃣ Hire Us Or another pro you feel comfortable with. I hear lots of people saying cutting out a general contractor and interior designer will save you money. And in some cases they are right. But they never account for aspects like the increase in materials, paying for what they don’t know is a requirement, interest on your loan because it takes you way longer than expected, the cost of doing things twice, the increase in each sub because they are working with a homeowner instead of a GC (yes, that’s a thing)…. We truly believe that we are to be good stewards of your money throughout the design and construction of your dream home. We will keep you on track and up to date on all things pricing as we make those long awaited home dreams come true 🤎 #generalcontractor #interiordesign #designbuild #construction #design #finance #budget #money #moneymindset #gc

Seem like good ideas, right? Wrong. These 3 can Seem like good ideas, right? Wrong. These 3 can totally derail your new build faster than you can spell frustration. Why? 💵 Waiting to purchase materials to see if prices will come down 💵 We get why this one is tempting but trust me when I say this will screw up the timing of a job quicker than anything— which will cost so much more than what you may save. It misaligns subcontractors and makes it nearly impossible to get over one back on track. Essentially you take yourself out of line and go to the back every time you put a hold to see if prices will come down. 🐢 Being slow to make payments 🐌 Being Prompt to make payments will allow subcontractors to promptly buy materials and get labor on your site. If your quick, they are quick 💨 🤳Trolling Pinterest 🤳 There comes a time where you need to shut it down. I know its tempting to keep looking and comingnuo with desires, but that will quickly derail your cohesive design and your timeline. 🔨 We will get it right and get it built.

Can’t black just be…. Black?? Like any other Can’t black just be…. Black?? Like any other paint color, no. Wrought Iron 🖤 by Benjamin Moore It’s our favorite because its a muted black. The subtle blue undertones keep it from looking heavy. It adds just enough softness to avoid looking harsh while avoiding that chameleon color change that some paint colors do. So it’s a win win All the pros of black without the cons. Need help with color? It’s one of our favorite things about design. Let us help you get it right the first time! Also…. How many times can one post say Black?? 😆 too much? #paint #benjaminmoore #benjaminmoorepaint #wroughtiron #interiorpainting #interiorpaint #kitchendesign #interiordesign #interiors #interiordesigninspiration #interiors #luxuryhomes #luxurydecor #interiordesigninspo #kitchen #designer #marble #customhomebuilder #utahhomedesign #generalcontractor #utahhomes #newbuild #newbuildhome #newbuildhouse #midwayutah #midwayinteriordesign #midwayinteriordesigner #midwayhomebuilder #midwayhomebuilders #bespokeinteriors #bespokeinteriordesign
Benjamin Moore’s Classic Gray has been one of th Benjamin Moore’s Classic Gray has been one of their Most Popular paint colors for YEARS now, and for good reason While its name states that it’s a gray, Classic Gray (OC-23) is in their white collection and really is an off-white with warm gray undertones. So what’s its perfect companion color? ✨Tyler Gray (CW-50)✨ also by Benjamin Moore It is the perfect griege that aligns with all the undertones of Classic gray and works well for those of you who want to add color but keep things neutral. It is also warm enough for those who want to hop on the warm brown and beige trend but still like gray (and don’t want to redo all that flooring you installed a few years ago 😆) #FineHomes #Architecture #InteriorDesign #UtahHomes #UtahArchitecture #UtahInteriorDesign #homeinspiration #interiordesign #interiordesigners #dreamhome #beautifulhomes #icf #designbuild #generalcontractor #kitchen #kitcheninspiration #kitchendesign #homedesign #benjaminmoorepaint #benjaminmoore #greypaint #beige #wallpainting #wallpaint #cabinetpainting #designbuild #customhome #bespokehomes #utahhomebuilder
