Homeowner Highlight with Cathy

Everyone is an individual, and each person’s unique charm and character should be reflected in the place they call home. Here at Eastbrook Homes, we take pride in helping homeowners create a space that resonates with their individual lifestyle and personality. Our Homeowner Highlights series explores that process while also providing a few new homeowner tips and tricks along the way.

Cathy joins this edition of Homeowner Highlights to discuss the journey of making her dream home a reality with Eastbrook Homes. Cathy and her husband needed a space that could both support their at-home work and provide the ideal environment for raising their newborn. By customizing their home plan to include two home offices and a nursery, they managed to create a design that perfectly met their needs.

How did you incorporate your family’s lifestyle into your home? 

We wanted to make sure we had enough bedrooms and a playroom for any future kids, two offices since we both work from home, and a nice guest space for friends and family who visit from Chicago. We also made the island huge because we love gathering in the kitchen.

What is your decorating inspiration? 

Our styles are modern and clean, but still cozy and inviting.

What do you love about your Eastbrook community?

Our neighbors! We got so lucky. It’s always fun going for walks and running into so many friendly faces! 🙂

What are your favorite features in your home?

Probably the kitchen, the wooded views, the double doors, and our peanut’s nursery.

What was your building process /Eastbrook experience like? 

It was good! Everyone we worked with was super friendly. We knew what we wanted coming in and Eastbrook was able to bring our vision to life!

What does “home” mean to you? 

We are both homebodies, so for us, home is our favorite place to spend time together. <3 Home means safety, love, comfort, and fun!

Do you have any tips or tricks for new homeowners? 

Look at a lot of other homes ahead of time so you know all the finishes Eastbrook can offer, and ask lots of questions about options! Seeing other homes after moving in made us realize things we would have loved to add to our home in hindsight.

Any other thoughts you would like to add? 

We love our home and we’re so happy with the decision to move to Michigan, Rockford, and Saddle Ridge!
