Story Builders

We still can’t quite believe the timing of this.

In just over a week, Cedar & Stone will host a wedding.

And the two weekends immediately after, it will open its doors as part of the Hood County Showcase of Homes.

Sometimes the timing of things feels bigger than you.

Cedar & Stone has been a labor of love - designed and built for family, legacy, and gathering.

To have the opportunity to share it with this community, as we begin planting roots here, feels incredibly meaningful.

We’re deeply grateful to be included in this year’s Showcase of Homes and excited to welcome people into a home that means so much to our family.

If you’re local (or willing to drive!) we’d love for you to come see it.

📍 Cedar & Stone | Tolar
🗓 June 6–7 & June 13–14
Saturdays: 10am–6pm
Sundays: 12pm–5pm

We truly believe God’s hand has been on the timing of this project from the beginning.

And we can’t wait to share it.

From the beginning, the goal was simple:

Design and build a home that reflects how our clients want to live - without forcing it into a formula.

There are no preset plans.
No fixed timelines.
No limited selections for finishes.

Every detail - from flooring to lighting to tile - is shaped by the homeowner’s vision, priorities, and budget.

That kind of process takes time.

It requires thought, patience, and a willingness to make decisions carefully along the way.

But the result is a home that truly belongs to the people living in it.

We’re incredibly grateful to these clients for trusting us with something so personal. It’s a privilege to help bring their vision to life.

Custom takes time.
And it’s always worth it.

How does this family live?

One of the most important components of designing a home is asking the right question.

Cedar & Stone is unique. This home was designed very specifically for a growing, multi-generational family.

Now that the drywall is up, you can begin to see the spaces take shape.

A home school classroom.

A work-from-home office.

A chapel.

A great room and kitchen designed for large family meals (with a table in the middle that seats 20 and 2 dishwashers to keep up).

Every decision was made to accommodate the rhythms of everyday life on a family homestead.

Because the best designs aren’t based on trends or square footage.

They’re designed around the people who live there.

Every story begins at home.

We build differently. Most contractors are handed off a set of plans created by someone else.

As a true custom home builder we work with you from the very beginning.

It starts with the land.

We walk the property, study orientation, and begin envisioning a home that fits both the family and the setting.

From there we move into architectural design - drawing a home we know can be built well, because we’re the ones building it.

Then the structure rises.

Foundation, framing, systems, finishes, and finally the small details that make a house feel like a home.

Taking a project from dirt to final detail allows the entire process to stay connected.

One vision.
One team.
One home built with intention.

Every story begins at home.
