Jack and Eve saw one of our very first Your Home. Your Idea.'s of the week and contacted us via our blog about customizing their new home at Shenandoah. We exchanged a few emails to and started discussing different ideas for their new home. With the help of our Sales Manager, Debby Palladino, we were able to identify a starting floorplan and then we went to work designing Jack and Eve's dream home. It turns out that the home they designed was so amazing that the Design Department has decided to make these permanent changes going forward. Here is what they did:

We started with the Shadwell floorplan. The following was changed on the first floor (the original plan is on the left and the redesigned plan is on the right):

• Relocated kitchen; new kitchen includes an island and butler pantry area and is located directly behind the family room
• Staircase, powder room, and coat closet were all moved to where the kitchen used to be
• Wall niches were added in the rotunda
• The Dining Room flipped locations with the Study

The second floor/loft area so a complete redesign. Nothing stayed the same as you can see from the before (on the right) and after (on the left) below.


We held a special luncheon for Jack and Eve at Shenandoah this week to thank them for helping us create an even better home. Their input about what they wanted and needed in a home was invaluable to us! Thanks again Jack and Eve for all your ideas! We hope you enjoy your new home!
