We all devote endless time and money in our attempt to acquire the perfect gifts and decorations to help us make the holiday season bright. If you’re hosting a holiday party for friends and family, I’ll venture to say that you’re probably feeling stressed and overwhelmed with the responsibility. Relax! Everything you need to have a great time is already within your reach. Long after the gifts received are a distant memory, it will be the laughter and stories shared that live on. Create lasting memories and a new tradition with a holiday journal. Everyone can share a story of a past holiday experience, and add something new. Take photos of all in attendance to include in the journal so memories will be vivid. Happy Holidays!

The most significant trend in space planning is thinking ahead to accommodate ever-changing technology and lifestyles. Multi-function and flexibility are key factors for consideration. Just as a carpenter allows for electrical and plumbing installations, home builders are challenged to plan space for managing future systems. As technology continues to advance, we will all need to adopt new habits that will help us make better use of our space. Our home space is becoming increasingly more important to us. As newer building materials are used and new designs and technologies are developed, our homes will adapt to the new trends and lifestyles of our population. Choosing from the many options available to us should be a carefully managed decision.

There’s a downsizing trend underway at many small businesses. Shrinking staffs and more workers “telecommuting” has prompted a move to smaller offices. Owners say they’re saving money on real estate, office furniture and other expenses by letting employees work from home. Employers can be equally concerned about the lack of a designated home work space affecting productivity. Every home can accommodate a designated work space, no matter what the limitations seem to be. Would you want to work from home?

Spending a lot of money to re-purpose a room will not necessarily make your home more valuable. Converting a mudroom into a first floor laundry room may not spell value to prospective buyers. However, adding organized storage cabinetry and shelving can create added space in a home. The addition of storage and living space will certainly meet with approval. Whether or not you have plans to sell your home in the immediate future, it is not advisable to proceed with a project without considering if it will add value.
