Traditional home design remains the most popular style for homes in America

Gracious and inviting, traditional design evokes images of understated elegance. Within the traditional designation you’ll find many specific styles, such as Cottage, Colonial, French Country, Craftsman, Tuscan, among others. Traditional style reflects fine woodworking, craftsmanship and graceful lines, but a growing movement to bring it into a more relaxed realm is well underway. Stained and painted wood are mixed and matched less strictly. The old and the new are paired side by side.

Most of the clients we work with do desire a traditional home design and some people have even told us we have a “trademark” Thelen Total Construction style of home! We do feel our homes are distinctive but they are truly a reflection of individual style and taste – whether that is traditional, contemporary or something in-between. Here are  photos of  some our past Parade of Homes and you’ll see what I mean!
