Build With Us- Arne Custom Homes

🏡 The inside of a home may be where memories are made, but the exterior is where the story begins.

Long before anyone steps through the front door, the exterior creates a first impression. It's what welcomes you home after a long day, greets your guests, and sets the tone for everything inside.

Thoughtful landscaping, inviting front porches, beautiful architectural details, and carefully selected materials all work together to create a home that feels special from the moment you arrive.

A well-designed exterior isn't just about curb appeal—it's about creating a home that feels complete. One that fits its surroundings, reflects the homeowner's style, and stands the test of time.

Because great design doesn't stop at the front door. ✨

What's your favorite exterior feature on a home? A wraparound porch? Stone accents? Mature landscaping? Let us know below! 👇

☀️ First day of summer officially has us dreaming about slow mornings on the front porch and evenings spent outside long after the sun goes down.

One of the biggest things homeowners are asking for right now? Outdoor living spaces that actually feel like an extension of the home — and honestly… we get it.

Oversized front porches, covered decks, vaulted patios, outdoor fireplaces, grilling areas, cozy seating spaces… these aren’t just “extras” anymore. They’re where summer happens. 🌿🏡

There’s something about a large front porch that just feels like home. Morning coffee. Waving at neighbors. Watching storms roll in. Kids running through the yard barefoot while dinner’s on the grill out back. That’s the good stuff.

And covered outdoor spaces? Absolute game changer in Missouri summers. Shade during the heat, protection from surprise rain showers, and a place to gather without everyone being crammed inside around the kitchen island pretending they’re comfortable. 😂

Whether it’s a sprawling covered deck overlooking acreage or a cozy patio built for entertaining, we love designing homes that make outdoor living just as functional and beautiful as the inside.

Hello summer… we’ve been waiting for you. ☀️

🧺☀️ Happy International Picnic Day!

Honestly… this might be one of the most underrated luxuries of country living.

A cozy patio, an outdoor fireplace, a charcuterie board, and nowhere to be except enjoying the view. That’s the kind of space that turns an ordinary evening into one of those moments you actually remember. ✨

We’re officially voting for more slow evenings, sunset views, good food, and gathering spaces that make people want to stay awhile.

Now excuse us while we romanticize eating snacks on a blanket like we’re starring in a Nancy Meyers movie. 😂

☀️ Summer is almost here… and you know what that means.

Long evenings outside.
Kids running through the yard.
The grill going nonstop.
Friends staying way later than planned. 🍔🔥

A great backyard entertaining space becomes an extension of your home during the summer months — and honestly, it’s one of the most used “rooms” of the house.

Covered patios, outdoor fireplaces, oversized sliders, outdoor kitchens, screened-in porches, pool space, and plenty of room to gather… those are the features that make summer nights feel a little magical. ✨

Because the best memories usually aren’t made sitting inside.

Progress Post!!

🏡✨ One of our custom homes is entering one of the most exciting phases of the build! ✨🏡

Flooring is now being installed, and we’re beginning to see our homeowners’ selections come to life on a much larger scale. What once existed as samples, design boards, and showroom visits is now becoming a cohesive, beautiful home.

Each flooring choice adds warmth, character, and personality to the space, helping transform this house from a construction site into a place our customers will soon call home. It’s always exciting to watch the vision come together and see how all the carefully selected finishes complement one another.

We can’t wait to share more progress as the finishing touches continue to bring this custom home to life! ❤️

Progress Post!

🏡 Progress is happening fast on this custom home! 🏡

The subfloor is now being installed, and it’s always exciting to reach this stage of construction. Up next, we’ll begin framing the walls and that’s when the transformation really starts!

Before long, rooms will begin taking shape, hallways will emerge, and our homeowners will be able to walk through and truly visualize their future home. It’s amazing to watch a set of plans on paper become a reality right before our eyes.

We can’t wait to share the next phase of this build with you. Stay tuned as this dream home continues to come to life! ✨

What a great way to kick off the weekend! This stunning Savana is officially ready to be released for construction, and we couldn’t be more excited. 👏🏻👏🏻

Stay tuned as this beautiful custom home comes to life from the ground up. With every stage, we’ll be one step closer to seeing the vision become reality—and trust us, this is one you won’t want to miss! 🏡✨

🚗🏡 Country living and oversized garages just go hand in hand.

When you live outside the city, your garage becomes so much more than a place to park. It’s storage, workspace, mudroom overflow, hunting gear headquarters, tool central, and sometimes the unofficial gathering spot during every family get-together. 😂

That’s why we love designing oversized garages into our homes.

Our 3-car garages are built to actually FUNCTION. We’re talking enough space to comfortably fit a truck plus two additional large vehicles — with room left over to move around without squeezing between doors like you’re playing a game of Tetris.

No builder-grade “technically 3-car” garages over here. 👏

At Arne Custom Homes, we believe your garage should work for your lifestyle just as much as the rest of your home.

This Sadie Grace is moving right along! 🏡✨

There’s nothing more exciting than watching our customers’ dream homes take shape. Each stage brings us one step closer to seeing all of their carefully chosen selections come together, and we know they’re just as excited as we are.

Before long, the finishes, colors, and personal touches will start transforming this house into a home. We can’t wait to see the final vision come to life! ❤️

There’s just something about a cozy kitchen. ☕🏡

Maybe it’s the warmth of soft lighting, the smell of dinner cooking, or the way everyone somehow ends up gathered around the island no matter how much space there is in the house.

At Arne Custom Homes, we believe kitchens should feel just as inviting as they are functional. From custom cabinetry and oversized islands to warm finishes and thoughtful layouts, we design kitchens that become the heart of the home — the place where real life happens.

Late-night snacks. Holiday baking. Morning coffee before the chaos starts.
Those are the moments a great kitchen is built for. ✨

Because a kitchen shouldn’t just look beautiful… it should feel like home.
