Custom doesn’t have to be expensive, it just means customized to your exact home.

In October of 2012 some friends of ours decided to buy a house in Boise. They walked into this house and instantly fell in love with its unique features and beautiful views. However, one thing they did not fall in love with was the outdated built-in entertainment center. It was made for an old tube television that was very deep and not very wide. This is becoming more common as our TV’s are getting larger and we are not updating the built-in features. Some homeowners go as far as filling it with décor so it’s not an eyesore.
