Details - Part II

At New American Homes we love details.  One of our favorites is niches.  If installed during construction, they cost only a few extra dollars, but they make a space more interesting, and they're practical, too.  Here are examples from our own custom homes:

At left is a kitchen area with two niches - one for the mixer and another behind the stove for cooking condiments and oils. 

In the photo at right is a shower wall with three stacked niches - perfect for sponges, shampoos, soaps, shower gels, even a rolled bath towel or two. 

The bottom photo shows a front hallway niche - a decorative feature that adds a welcoming touch to a home.

At Newport Cove, our waterfront property on the Chain O' Lakes near Antioch, IL, we build niches into all our new home models, inexpensive touches that make a house feel custom and thought-filled, built especially for its residents.
