Homebuilding Tips

Asking millions of people what they want in a home may well yield millions of unique answers. This fact makes it more difficult to categorize a group as large as the Millennial generation based on their home buying preferences. However this generation is viewed by its predecessors, Millennials’ general expectations have a fair overlap with other home buying groups. What they look for when they start to search for homes is bound by their finances and where they are in life.

With modern devices that allow you to use voice control or wirelessly connect to appliances, outlets, and more, it’s easier than ever to implement smart features in your home without a significant investment. Many people want the peace of mind that these modern conveniences enable—better security, energy efficiency, home comfort, key-free locks, etc.—but don’t want to install a costly system.

If you want to make your home smarter, consider the following DIY ideas:

It’s the dead of winter, and we think that’s the perfect time to start thinking about summer vacation at the beach. Toes in the sand, sun on your face, shorts and flips flops as you watch the sun slip behind the skyline. If your happy place is spending time with family and friends at the ocean every weekend (or all summer long), why not build your own summer cottage by the ocean? Make this the last summer you rent someone else’s cottage and begin the process of building your own exactly how (and where) you want it.

As the old proverb goes, home is where the heart is, and that’s because life’s best memories happen at home. Whether you’re gathered around the kitchen table for your weekly family game night, recording baby’s first triumphant steps across the nursery floor, or snapping photos of your teen before prom- from the everyday moments to the once in a lifetime, so much of what we love about life is shared at home.

Argh! That’s how clutter can make you feel. We’re not talking about the hoarding kind of clutter that will land you on a reality show (and, hey, no judgments). We’re talking about that everyday kind of clutter that just seems to take over your house no matter how hard to try to stay on top of it. And it’s understandable: busy lives, hectic schedules, and everyday life can keep you from feeling like your home has that sparkly-clean-fresh feel you love.
