At Custom One Homes, we strive to design and build home’s specifically suited to our client’s unique needs. From beginning to end, our team works closely with each client to design every detail, no matter how big or small. When it’s time to finally hand over the keys, it’s our goal that your new home is exactly as you always pictured it.

For the last few months, our team has given you an inside look at what it’s like to build a new home with Custom One Homes. The 7-part video series follows Darin and Erin Rippentrop as they go through each phase of the home building process. From the initial meeting to finalizing their home’s design, our team has been there to document every step. In the last video of the series, the Rippentrop family shared what they’re looking forward to about their new home and we watched as they celebrated breaking ground.

Now, the Rippentrop home has been framed and our team is preparing to have the electrical installed. But first, Darin and Erin must tour their new home with the project manager. This will give them an idea of how each space flows and determine the proper placement for electrical outlets and other important features. Watch the video below for an up-close look at the next phase of the home building process!

Spring has sprung and it’s the perfect time to get a head start on home organization! Not sure where to begin? We’ve got you covered with some of our best home organization tips. With these home organization tips, your home will be neat and orderly in no time!

Mudroom Organization

Mudrooms are becoming commonplace in most homes, and for good reason! A mudroom is your home’s first line of defense when it comes to keeping tidy. A built-in bench with shoe storage, hooks, and cubbies provides plenty of space to hang outdoor gear and store purses and backpacks. Another great option is built-in lockers, which provide each member of the family with their own designated space. Baskets pair well with open shelving because they keep small items together and out of sight.

Laundry Room Organization

Laundry can be a time-consuming process but one thing that makes it easier is a well-organized laundry room. Adding cabinets or shelving in the laundry room ensures items like laundry detergent, stain remover, and dryer sheets are easy to find. Folding clothes and treating stains is a breeze with plenty of counter space, too. Once clothes are clean, a built-in rack provides the perfect place to hang items to try or keep them wrinkle-free. Is your laundry room on the smaller side? Place a piece of butcher block or inexpensive laminate countertop over the top of a front loading washer and dryer to create counter space, then add shelving or cabinets above. Or, stack a front loading washer and dry to create enough space for shelving and a hanging rack next to them.

Master Closet Organization

There’s nothing quite as overwhelming as an overcrowded, unorganized master closet. Luckily, there are a few solutions that will keep your closet looking tidy. To make the most of your master closet’s available space, utilize a mix of shelving and hanging space. Next, invest in quality hangers. Opting for a slimmer hanger lets you maximize your closet’s space. Also consider hangers for pants, ties, and scarves. To keep smaller items organized and easy to find, use baskets. For watches and jewelry, consider placing trays on shelves or in drawers.

Don’t forget to do a seasonal purge, either! For example, as you transition your winter wardrobe to spring/summer, remove any items you didn’t wear. Sorting through and donating clothing and shoes you didn’t wear will keep your closet free of clutter and allows you to give back to the community.

Pantry Organization

Keeping your pantry organized means ingredients and snacks are easier to find. A simple place to start is to sort items by category. For example, group baking items, snacks, and breakfast foods together into their own basket or separate part of the pantry. Clear containers are also helpful to keep your pantry uniform, make it easy to see what they hold, and can be stacked depending on their style. If your pantry has deeper shelves, place less used ingredients and items at the back. Then, place a basket filled with everyday items in front of or on top of them. When you need to access the items in the back, simply remove the basket.

For homes with small children, place kid’s snacks on the bottom pantry shelf. This will make it easier for kids to reach them and reduce the chance they’ll accidentally bump other items off the shelf in the process. To get the most out of a small pantry, add an over the door shelf for spices or food storage items. Removing unnecessary bulky packaging can also help to save space.

Office Organization

Keeping your home office organized and clutter free is key to enhancing your productivity. The first step to a clean office is sorting through and purging unnecessary paperwork cluttering your desk. While sorting through paperwork, separate documents into three piles: shred/recycle, file, and needs action. For the items you file, consider a color-coded filing system. Assign a color to each category and use coordinating colored hanging folders. Next, sort items like writing utensils and sticky notes into categories and organize them in drawers, baskets, containers, and bins to make it easier to find them when you need them.

Spring has officially arrived and it’s time to get outside and enjoy that fresh, springtime air. Living in the Midwest means enduring the cold and snow so when spring and summer finally make an appearance, you can bet we make the most of it! From backyard barbeques to quiet nights, decks and porches are the perfect way to take advantage of warmer weather.

Many homeowners are opting to add covered porches leading out to a deck in their new home’s design and we can’t blame them! They’re the perfect way to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, while easily transitioning from one season to the next. Take a look at some of our favorite outdoor spaces below.

At Custom One Homes, we understand each of our clients has their own personality, specific needs, and lifestyle. That’s why our goal is to build them a home that truly reflects them. From the very first meeting to the day we turn over the keys, our team works closely with you to design every detail of your home.

Over the past year or so, we’ve started to share more of our client’s stories by offering an inside look at what it’s like to build a new home with Custom One Homes. Sharing these behind the scenes peeks into our building process has been amazing, which is why we’re so excited to share our latest video series in collaboration with the Rippentrop family.

The Rippentrop family is composed of Darin and Erin and their two elementary aged children. In the first video, we got to learn more about the Rippentrops and what they envision for their new home. With a desire to build a home that suits their busy lifestyle as business professionals while also offering a relaxing at home retreat, Darin and Erin chose to build their new home in the Autumn Bluff neighborhood of Woodbury, MN.

In the last video of the series, we followed along as the Rippentrops began the design process for their new custom home. Working with our team, Darin and Erin were able to make design selections that fit their unique style and personality.

Today, we’re thrilled to share the third video in the series. In this video, you’ll learn all about the “passing of the torch” phase of building a new home with Custom One Homes. From discussing the site survey to finalizing each detail, our team is there to answer each and every question before moving on to the next phase.
