Make Your Kitchen Cozy & Comfortable in Your Modular Home
February 20, 2011
The kitchen isn’t just for cooking anymore. Today it is a gathering place for families and a central work space. Modular homes have always been known for utilizing their space well, but there are simple things you can do to create a cozy and social feel in your kitchen.
Look for comfy chairs. Go for something other than just a wood chair or stool. Something softer that has a back to it will allow for more comfort.
Soften lighting. Use accent lights like sconces or lamps. Dimmers work well for larger light fixtures.
Add storage. Wall shelving, buffets and other additional storage cabinetry will allow for less clutter around the kitchen.
Display quality pieces. Take artwork, photos, etc. you once reserved for the living room and display it in the kitchen.
Just think if you make the kitchen cozy and comfortable you may find yourself having extra help with the cooking and even the dishes.

“Our home is just more than a place that gives us a roof over our head. Our home is where we create memories as a family with our two small children.
The most important aspect of our home is it is “child friendly”. As a mother, I truly love that our house is one level. I don’t hesitate to do laundry anymore; laundry was a chore in itself when there are multiple levels of stairs involved. The open floor plan allows me to see my children when I am around the house in a different room. Another great feature of our house is the kitchen. The kitchen is what makes the family come together after a days work. Our kitchen is huge; we can all be in there together and doesn’t become overcrowded. Not to mention there is cupboard space galore.
The open floor plan as I mentioned before is what our kids love the best. They make great use of the wide open space by running, playing and scattering out their toys. Another feature they really take advantage of is the windows. The windows in the entire house are at their height. When they are not playing, they can be found looking out the big picture window in the living room; along with our two kittens.
My husband, Kory is often found in the family room watching television or playing with our kids. Our family room is another large room in our house that we use quite often on a daily basis. Just like the kids, he can also be found looking out the big picture window in the living room or admiring his set of elk horns that work perfectly with our vaulted ceilings.
We have put our house on an amazing set of land on Kory’s family farm in North Dakota where the environment around us is filled with wildlife. The landscaping we are slowly but surely working on; however, we are currently in the process of building an attached entry way and garage.
In essence, we made our house unique and very pleased with the decision of going with a manufactured house that we are proud to call our “home”.”

Size Your Garage Appropriately Before Starting Your Modular Home Project
February 9, 2011
Can you truly have too large of a garage? Some may say yes, but you want to make sure you have the appropriate space for current and future life style changes. The mistake a lot of people make in the planning process in not taking into account possible future changes.
There are a lot of things to consider in the garage planning stage. Below is a list of items to discuss when doing this planning.
Current & future vehicles- You want to make sure you have the right size overhead doors and adequate room to park the appropriate number of vehicles.
Current & future recreational vehicles- Make sure you have room for snowmobiles, four wheelers, boats, lawn mowers, snow blowers and even bicycles.
Storage Space- A lot of people use their garage for storage. Keep in mind we generally are buying and adding items to the household. This can even include an adequate area for garbage, shelving, hooks, etc.
Work Areas- If you plan to do some handy/wood work in your garage designate some space for a work bench, tool storage, and other equipment. Also think about adding heat to the garage if you plan on working in the garage during the winter time.
