Making the Best Home Decisions for You!

By -
Do you love visiting homes and seeing how it's decorated or staged? I've had the pleasure of viewing a few homes over the past few weeks, and I can agree with the articles below on some of the trends. Wood floorings have been in almost every home I've seen. I've also seen wood ceilings and ceilings bringing attention to beams, which I love! I love that people are paying attention to their ceilings! I've also seen a lot of the light blues, light greens, light gray, dark gray, maroon, and corals. And everywhere I look, I see wicker and adirondacks. What trends have you spotted?

Maybe they are not all wanting to live in a rented 500 square foot apartment after all. Here is an article that was written this year by:  Eric Rosenbaum  of CNN Millennial money myths: The truth about homes, cars and ownership Eric Rosenbaum When it comes to trying to get inside the head of millennials, don't buy the buzz about the "don't own" economy.
