WHAT IS A NEW-TO-YOU HOME?
A New-To-You Home is the perfect solution for those who’ve found a house in the ideal neighborhood or on a dream lot, but the interior style no longer aligns with their needs or vision. Maybe it has good bones and a great location, but the layout or design feels outdated or mismatched with personal preferences. This concept embraces the idea of transforming a pre-existing property into a home that fits your unique style—without the hassle of starting from scratch. By remodeling, you can take advantage of the established community, prime location, and available space while infusing the home with modern updates and custom features that truly make it your own. The process of creating a New-To-You Home allows you to reimagine existing spaces while keeping the character that drew you to the house in the first place. It’s about blending the charm of an older home with the functionality, style, and comfort of a new build. Whether it's updating kitchens and bathrooms, reworking layouts, or incorporating personalized design elements, a New-To-You Home offers the perfect balance of what you need in a space with what you’ve always wanted in a home—without the stress of searching for the perfect property.
26
WHY REMODEL BEFORE MOVE IN? Remodeling a New-To-You Home before moving in offers the advantage of creating a space that’s perfectly suited to your needs from day one. By making changes to the layout, updating outdated finishes, or adding personal design elements, you can ensure that every room functions the way you want it to. This proactive approach also means you won't have to live through the dust, noise, and disruption of construction while trying to settle into your new life. Instead, you can move into a home that’s fully customized, both in style and function, making the transition much smoother and more enjoyable. Another key benefit is that remodeling before moving in allows you to address potential issues—like outdated plumbing, electrical systems, or structural concerns—before they become major inconveniences. It gives you the opportunity to bring the home up to your standards and avoid unexpected repairs after you've already moved in. By taking the time to renovate first, you can enjoy a completely refreshed living environment without the stress of juggling construction and settling into your new home at the same time. It’s a smart way to ensure that your New-To-You Home is truly your dream home from the start.

Experiencing A NEW-TO-YOU HOME R EMO D E L
In this article, we explore the journeys of two families who embarked on the exciting adventure of transforming their New-To-You Homes. Both families found the perfect location and potential in their homes, but the interiors didn’t quite align with their visions. With a bit of creativity and a lot of hard work, they set out to reimagine their spaces, turning outdated layouts and finishes into personalized, dream homes that fit their unique lifestyles.

Experiencing A NEW-TO-YOU HOME R EMO D E L
The Modern Farmhouse Story The Modern Farmhouse project began with a home in the family's ideal neighborhood, nestled on a gorgeous lot, but with an interior that felt dated and stuffy. The transformation turned this once-drab space into a warm, inviting farmhouse haven, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. From top to bottom, every room was reimagined with cozy textures, light colors, and open layouts, making the most of the home’s natural surroundings while infusing it with a fresh, modern farmhouse vibe. The result is a space that perfectly balances style, functionality, and family-friendly comfort.
36
Experiencing A NEW-TO-YOU HOME R EMO D E L The Generational Homestead Story The Generational Homestead project centered on a home situated on an ideal lot in the rural location the family had always dreamed of, but its outdated style and closed-off layout were far from what they envisioned for a gathering space. With a focus on creating a home that could be enjoyed for generations, the design was completely reimagined to open up the flow of the space, making it perfect for hosting and family gatherings. By blending timeless design elements with modern updates, the home was transformed into a warm, welcoming environment that honors the family’s past while providing a versatile and inviting space for future generations to gather and create lasting memories.
