Last weekend I had the pleasure of touring a new construction neighborhood
in South Jersey. Seeing new and pristine
houses without the effects of day-to-day wear and tear is fabulous!
The house that I walked through was not necessarily my taste but I could
definitely appreciate the vibe that it was trying to obtain. And by seeing a
model house instead of just a blank slab; potential new homeowners are able to
be more at ease before they end up purchasing a new home.
But no one ever calls that home; that's a model.
Settling into a new home is always hard. Whether it be to downsize to a
condo, upgrade to a mansion; relocate to a new neighborhood or even just a spur
of the moment pick up and move someplace on your bucket list; it's going to be
a journey. But by choosing a wonderful layout that is in tune to your style of
living; you can easily be on your way to an exciting new space.
That's also where design comes into play. Using design as a way to express
yourself is wonderful. It allows you to turn a brand new home into your own. Chances
are the new place has a brand new roof; amazing stainless steel appliances and
a wonderfully manicured front lawn; but it also needs to include memorabilia and
furnishings from your old home to make it your own lovely retreat.
Great pieces to add to your new home include artwork from a favorite
painter, accessories from cherished travels, fabric from a local artisan and
most importantly sacred family heirlooms. These items are what turn a slab into
your new and approved abode. It's a scary and exciting adventure that I know
you will enjoy!
And for some visual stigma here are some photos from the community I
visited...
