New builds can be notoriously “shiny,” but after living in an older residence, Chrissy Serrano, blogger at ChrissyMarieBlog.com, and her husband were eager for a home that didn’t need endless repairs. “We enjoyed the projects in that home, but the idea of a brand-new place was appealing,”Chrissy says. One of the biggest benefits was being able to work closely with builder Kevin Poythress during the design phase of the project. Chrissy was able to check off each item on her list of must-haves: coastal farmhouse appeal, a spacious playroom for the four kids and lots of windows. “We put windows everywhere we could,” she says. And, wanting the home to have personalized details and none of that new-build bareness, she added in extensive trim work, built-ins and light fixtures to bring character. The light-drenched, family-friendly, coastal farmhouse results show how a new build can have just as much charm as an older home.
