Dear Reader,
​
I left Texas at 15 and landed in North Idaho in 1994... never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d end up helping people build the homes they’ve been obsessing over. Yet here we are. I’m Miriam, the founder of The Barndo Chick, and what we do isn’t just construction, it’s turning your impossible-ideas-into-real-life kind of homes.
This isn’t some cookie-cutter story. It’s about guts, grit, and a relentless obsession with craftsmanship and design. Decades in the industry have taught us one thing: your home isn’t a project—it’s the backdrop of your life. Every wall, every beam, every detail matters because it’s yours.
We’re not just builders; we’re your co-conspirators in creating something that turns heads and raises eyebrows. Barndominiums, custom homes, the ones that make your friends jealous? That’s our playground. We’ll guide you through the mess, the details, the “how do we even do that?” moments—so you get a home that works and wows.
More families are discovering barndominiums, and there’s a reason: they’re bold, functional, and unapologetically different. We make sure your home hits that sweet spot between practical living and jaw-dropping design. But here’s the catch: this isn’t for everyone. It’s for the dreamers who don’t settle, who want more than ordinary.
Your dream deserves more than just a plan. It deserves a team that’s as obsessed as you are. That’s us. That’s The Barndo Chick. Let’s build something extraordinary... together.

Wow — ever since I arrived in beautiful Coeur d’Alene back in 2011, I’ve been completely in love with everything North Idaho has to offer. That passion led me to pursue a career in real estate in 2017, and I’ve been helping others make their own North Idaho dreams come true ever since.
Now working with The Agency in Coeur d’Alene and honored as a Luxury Collection Specialist, I’ve built a career rooted in exceptional service, integrity, and results. I’m proud to have earned the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Chairman’s Circle Award in both 2022 and 2023 — a reflection of my commitment to exceeding client expectations.
But here’s where things get even more exciting: I’ve teamed up with The Barndo Chick, combining my extensive knowledge of land acquisition with their unmatched ability to bring custom barndominium dreams to life. It’s a dynamic partnership that allows us to guide clients from raw land to dream home—seamlessly, creatively, and confidently.
When I’m not helping clients, you’ll likely find me outdoors — camping, kayaking, or enjoying the natural beauty that first made me fall in love with this area. But above all, my greatest pride and joy are my three amazing boys. They are my world and the reason life is so full of meaning and purpose.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey — whether that’s finding the perfect piece of land, building your dream barndominium, or simply falling in love with North Idaho — I’d be absolutely thrilled to help you make it happen.
