Sometimes allowing an imagination to run wild can open up a world of opportunity. We want to bring imaginations to life and encourage wild ideas which is why we have joined up with Charmed Playhouses. 

Charmed Playhouses creates handcrafted solid-wood playhouses that are truly a product of imagination. In addition to playhouses they also build tree houses and even dog houses. No detail is too small for Charmed and Visbeen in their custom playhouse creations. 

We have even caught the attention of Riley Curry! Check out some of our playhouse designs! If nothing catches your eye let us know and we can design one that is perfect for your family!

Last week our team attended the Tigers Game in Detroit, MI! It was a beautiful day full of team building and fun. Justin Verlander lead the Tigers to a 7-4 win over the White Sox and to top it off, we were there to witness Miguel Cabrera hitting his 200th career home run. It was a perfect day at the ballpark!

We had an early start to the day so we started it off right

Matt was teaching us all card tricks on the bus trip home.

We also had a moment of silence to honor the passing of Yogi Berra, one of the 'Greats' of baseball.

All in all it was a very fun and successful team outing and we cannot wait for the next time we go.

Dandridge

A rustic approach to the shaker style, the exterior of the Dandridge home combines cedar shakes, logs, stonework, and metal roofing. This beautifully proportioned design is simultaneously inviting and rich in appearance.

The main level of the home flows naturally from the foyer through to the open living room. Surrounded by windows, the spacious combined kitchen and dining area provides easy access to a wrap-around deck. The master bedroom suite is also located on the main level, offering a luxurious bathroom and walk-in closet, as well as a private den and deck.

The upper level features two full bed and bath suites, a loft area, and a bunkroom, giving homeowners ample space for kids and guests. An additional guest suite is located on the lower level. This, along with an exercise room, dual kitchenettes, billiards, and a family entertainment center, all walk out to more outdoor living space and the home’s backyard. Enjoy this log style home.
