Homeowner Testimonial

The holidays are a magical time of year, filled with warmth and cherished traditions. While decorations are important, certain architectural features become the true heart of the festivities, providing the perfect canvas for holiday cheer. Explore five features that make your home shine: a grand entrance, a cozy fireplace, an expansive kitchen island, a dedicated dining room, and a window with a view.

The holidays are a bustling, vibrant time of connection. But let's be honest: it can be beautifully hectic. The secret to savoring every moment isn't just managing time; it's managing energy. A private retreat—a serene primary suite—is essential. It’s your space to recharge, so you can pour from a full cup.

Thanksgiving entertaining begins with a warm welcome. Designer Michelle Olsen advises an open-concept foundation for conversation flow between the kitchen and gathering rooms. Arrange furniture into cozy 'conversation zones,' ensure clear pathways for guests, and provide flexible seating. Complete the experience with a tidy entryway and thoughtful details, such as mulling spices for an instantly welcoming holiday scent.
