It’s easy to look around your home and think, I’m stuck with this house for better or worse. And while there are things like location and lot size that can limit you, home remodeling is an incredible tool for changing almost any aspect of your current home. But what are the options if you’re hoping to remodel your home to make it more grand and high-end looking?
Florida, the Sunshine State. It’s a moniker that reminds us how fortunate we are to live in a beautiful, subtropical climate. But along with the benefits of beautiful beaches and mild winters comes the often unrelenting heat of summer. As you begin planning for your new custom home, you should bear in mind the many ways that your home can shelter you and your family from the heat.
You’ve heard of tiny houses, the insanely small homes perched upon trailers which allow the owners to live a life on the road. These have gained immense popularity over the last few years as people, young and old, opt for a smaller and less complicated life. For most people, choosing to live in a home smaller than 400 sq/ft is unreasonable, so tiny houses are out of the question.
Every couple of years you probably find yourself looking around your home, imagining the next upgrade that will bring it up to date. Especially if you’ve lived in your home for a long time and have collected decades worth of tchotchkes, art your kids made 15 years ago, and gifted throw pillows that don’t match your current furniture. But how do you even get started?
Modern technology has completely revolutionized the way we do everything in our lives. Just in the last decade, we’ve begun carrying the power of the entire internet in our pocket, asking computers for directions, and streaming live video feeds to our handheld devices from all over the world. These advances in technology have made communication easier, small business more efficient, and provided more learning opportunities to us than we can ever imagine. But what else is technology good for?
Old homes are beautiful, and full of character and style. But, if they're not well cared for they can present a number of issues to the homeowner. If you’ve decided to renovate an old home in lieu of building a new custom home, there are some important things you want to keep in mind. Doing your home remodeling project right the first time will save you time, money, and headaches in the long run.
The Minimalists are a pair of young guys who have made it their mission to spread the good news of minimalism. It’s a lifestyle that encourages people to live with less as a way to find the freedom to live the life you love. It’s a movement that has gained in popularity and while it isn't for everyone, there are some advantages to trying it.
You’ve seen it in photos and television shows featuring the homes of the rich and famous, and we think enhancing this room in your home is the height of luxury. No, we’re not talking about an elegant formal dining room or a bowling alley. We’re talking about turning your master closet into a luxurious dressing room.
These days, homeowners are finally giving proper respect to a room that has for generations gone unadorned. A series of tasks that were often relegated to a dark corner in the garage. That’s right, the laundry room. For as long as we can remember, laundry rooms have been an afterthought in luxury homes, but sometime in the last decade or so homeowners have begun to take this important room more seriously.
You spend a lot of time and money fixing up parts of your home for the rest of your family. You’ve probably redesigned your kid's rooms every couple of years as they’ve grown up. You added a pool in the backyard and maybe your office has been taken over as a playroom. But now it's high time that you direct some of the home remodeling energy toward your master bedroom suite.
