This year's Idea Home is built by Perrino Builders and combines new trends with Craftsman-inspired architecture. The innovative ideas incorporated into the Idea Home will inspire visitors to introduce new technologies into their homes. The 4,000-square-foot home features an open great room with a wall of seamless windows, wide gallery hallways, and an elaborate master spa bathroom. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, this home is wonderful for both family living and entertaining.

Feature Gardens
Don't forget to visit the Feature Gardens, which are based on the theme U.S. Landmarks. Our own Shenandoah National Park garden features a rustic pavilion, which overlooks a natural waterfall and mountain stream. You'll also see a woodland campsite, a seat wall inspired by Skyline Drive's stone guardrails, and native plants like Redbud Tress, Witch Hazel, and Spruce Fir. Wander through each of the feature gardens, picking up ideas for your own backyard. It's like walking through a tour of the whole country, from Napa Valley, California, to Central Park, New York.
