**★★★★★ — amoeckly1, Oct. 2015**

> My husband and I hired Lifestyle Development to do an addition and full house remodel on our families farmhouse. It turned out even better than we could of imagined! They were thorough with helping select the right contractors to help us maintain the correct balance of preservation on the home but also bringing a modern feel to it! They listened to our needs and wants and helped us to achieve everything we wanted on our wish lists! We were pleased with the communication they provided through the whole process regarding budgets and selection choices. We not only have a home we will cherish forever but we were also able to gain a friendship as well. Thank you Lifestyle Development!

> My wife and I used Lifestyle Development to build our house in Urbandale, they were very easy to work with and did an outstanding job with building our house and we would recommend them.

**★★★★★ — sully4isu, March 2015**

> We think so highly of Lifestyle Development that we built not just one home with them, but two! Eric and Sara Sanger were amazing to work with and made communication a priority throughout the entire homebuilding process. You not only get quality and attention to detail in their homes but affordability too. Costs aren't hidden but explained and honored due to the original contract. They work to make their homes unique in style and design based on the homeowners needs and interests. The end result is a beautiful, personal, well built home!

**★★★★★ — gretchysue, March 2015**

> Lifestyle Development was wonderful to work with when we built our custom home!  They were very personable, professional, and easy to work with.  They paid close attentinon to detail and made sure that every little thing was perfect and just how we wanted it.  They were honest and trustworthy and worked hard to provide us with a high quality home without short cuts being made.  Lifestyle Development worked with our budget to create a beautiful home in our price range, and there were no financial "surprises" along the way because they were very organized and thorough when preparing our house plan.  Having previously built a house before and worked with many other builders, we can honestly say that Lifestyle Development is the highest quality builder around!

What color ilve oven is this? Thanks!

A: The stove color is Matte Graphite.

**Q: love the pantry design. can you provide the dimensions?** *(in Photo Questions)*

My space is 4 by 7 feet. Trying to maximize use of the space.

A: Thanks for your interest in our work.  This pantry is 7' x 6'.

**Q: what are the dimensions of this pantry?** *(in Photo Questions)*

My pantry dimensions are 4x8 .  any suggestions?

A: Thanks, Marie.  Without knowing the scope of the project or seeing the plans, it's hard to comment.  However, generally with those dimensions, it's best to run the shelving along the one wall.  We're not sure what you're asking regarding the doors?

**Q: countertop** *(in Photo Questions)*

what is the counter top please?

A: Thanks for your interest.  This is Sienna Bordeaux with a double ogee edge.

**Q: Love the light!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where is this light from?

A: Thank you for your interest.  This was custom-made from a local artisan out of Amish buggy wheels.

**Q: Love the paint, can you share the color please?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sherwin Williams Backdrop is the color.  Thank you!
