It’s the detaIls In the home that make It truly unIque

Life is filled with connections, whether it’s with your family, friends, or co-workers. You also have a connection with the environment you live in. This may be one of the most important connections because your home provides the foundation for living. As families grow and expand, so do their needs and lifestyles. Join us as we take you through this couple’s house, built to suit by Jordahl Custom Homes to accommodate their growing family and individual personalities.

I t’s the details in the home that make it truly unique as each homeowner adds their own personal touch to their individual design. For the homeowners of this fabulous custom built home, it started with a modified floor plan. “We were looking for a layout that was conducive to entertaining, yet still keeping in mind our growing family. With the help of the interior designer and drafter at Jordahl Custom Homes, we were able to create just that!” said homeowners David & Nicole Rygh. This featured home has numerous custom additions which include modifying the kitchen island, creating a message center in the kitchen, and adding rustic elements to the interior, just to name a few. These details, and many more, helped this family design a home that would work for them for years to come. Looking closely at these details, the square kitchen island is a spacious work area surfaced with a beautiful 5’ x 5’ granite slab. Adjacent to the island is a built-in message center with slots for mail, cubbies for keys and a corkboard for leaving notes. The couple leads very busy lives, especially with the recent birth of their little girl, so staying organized is a vital part of their routine. The message center offers the perfect solution for staying organized and keeping the kitchen counters clutter free. They also chose to incorporate rustic elements into their home such as a refurbished 100 year old wood beam used as a mantel above their fireplace. This particular piece was supplied by the homeowner, and with the help of the complimentary interior designer, was incorporated into the overall design of their space. Other rustic elements include the weathered wood laminate flooring, knotty alder kitchen cabinets, and painted/distressed cabinet units. The half bath on the main level has a custom built painted vanity with distressed edges. In the kitchen, the center island is painted as well, enhancing the rustic charm of the open kitchen, dining and living areas. Other great features on the main level include a large mudroom, walk-in kitchen pantry, upper cabinets extended to the ceiling, custom lighting and oversized windows showcased throughout.

P ositioned at the top of the stairs on the second level is a unique design for a Jack-and-Jill bath. The cross vanities, with pull out stools, are a fresh and innovative approach to a traditional bathroom design. Wall sconces flank the sides of the mirrors adding a warm, soft glow to the space. Entering the shower area you see the stunning tile work continued throughout. As you move to the back of the house into the owner’s suite, spacious is the word that comes to mind, especially the bathroom and walkin closet. Featuring dual vanities, makeup counter, two countertop linen closets, and large custom tiled walk-in shower, this bathroom personifies beauty, comfort, and functionality. Just beyond the bathroom is a wide open walk-in closet equipped with custom shelving including shoe organizers, drawers and ample hanging space. In addition to the owner’s suite, the second level has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, laundry room, and linen storage.

With custom pieces and finishes, homeowner style and ideas, and the help of the Jordahl Custom Homes team, this couple built a home to match their growing family and expanding lifestyle.
