The Comforts of Home

by

Everyone has a different style, but there are few basics that will elevate your house to home-sweet-home status in no time at all.

Create an Inviting Entry

Add a rich pop of color to the front door and some extra interest by the way of urns or landscaping that will welcome visitors. For more ideas click here. 

Establish a Color Palette

Use color to your advantage.  It has the ability to calm and relax or excite and invigorate.  Choose carefully and be sure your rooms relate to one another through color. For tips on selecting just the right color click here.

Edit Your Belongings

Once you are settled into a daily routine for your new home, de-clutter and organize. Be sure that items you need are within reach and those that are seasonal get tucked away to storage areas with good labels. For organizational inspiration click here.

Provide Good Lighting

Good lighting is essential to your well being and the correct placement is essential.  Be sure to locate lighting in a triangular shape around each room. This can be achieved with a combination of recessed lighting, ceiling fixtures and lamps. For more lighting tips click here.

Fall means shorter days and cozy indoor moments with friends and family. Be sure to have plenty of time to enjoy by getting organized now before the holiday rush!

Pack up the patio and outdoor decorative items.  Clean and store cushions, furniture and outdoor toys before weather takes its toll.

Get the garage in shape with racks or peg boards to hold sport and gardening equipment.

Clutter control happens with proper storage space. Also remember that you don’t need to display everything you own at once. Choose a theme depending on the season and find a holding place for extra accessories, then swap out your look to keep it interesting.

1120 Turnberry Ct, Lake Geneva, WI

When the days get short our indoor & outdoor lighting becomes essential for comfort and safety. Be sure to have light sources evenly distributed around the home to eliminate dark shadows.

1460 Geneva Club Drive, Lake Geneva, WI

Having an organized kitchen is one of the greatest joys.  Clear the counters and make way for the Insta-pot and other cooking supplies that will help you create your favorite fall comfort foods.

1460 Geneva Club Dr, Lake Geneva, WI

Prepare for Netflix nights with all of the comforts surrounding the tv TV nights deserve a controlled space for remotes and everything that makes viewing more enjoyable.

Proper entry storage will make your fall and winter days flow smoothly when you are on the go.  Create a place for outwear, accessories, backpacks, and gloves so you are always ready to suit-up and go.

Fall/Winter 2018 Fashion Colors for Your Home

by

It is no secret that the catwalk predicts home fashion trends.  These fashion forward shows determine the way we will use color in our homes for the upcoming seasons. The good news is, no color actually goes out of style.  It’s all about how we combine and accent the colors we already have.  This is the key to creating an on-trend color vibe without spending a fortune.

With inspiration from the 2018 Fall/Winter New York Fashion Week, Pantone has identified vibrant options for our home color palette. We can take an unexpected shade and mix it in with some of our favorite pieces to create a unique signature look.   With that in mind, here are a few examples in some of my favorite listings.  Just click the picture for a full tour of each home.
