December Holiday Design Idea

Monday, December 6th, 2010

If you are like me, you LOVE receiving the holiday cards in the mail.

One of my dearest friends showed me a great way to add the holiday cards to your decorating for the holidays.  Best part – it just takes some yarn and mini wood clothespins from Michael’s.

I used the hooks at the top of our bookshelves and attached the yarn to either side across the windows in the back of our living room.  Another option would be to use small picture hangers, also available at Michael’s.   (more…)

What’s New in Technology for Your Home?

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

A few weeks ago, we got to attend the Viking® Experience at The GSC.  It was tremendous to check out all of the innovation in kitchen appliances.  They have many distinct kitchens to show the array of design options available with Viking Appliances.  I am still trying to pick my favorite kitchen.  With over 23 color finishes to choose from, your can really customize your kitchen.  Here’s a photo of the Viking® representative showing us the finish options:

They also showed us just how fast an Induction Cooktop can boil water, it is faster than fast.  I just may convert to Induction from Gas in my next kitchen.

And, they offer Brunch dates for you to enjoy a product demonstration and a scrumptious brunch prepared by Kathryn, their culinary director.  If you’re a SummerHill homebuyer, our design team can arrange a private appointment at the Viking® Experience at The GSC for you to learn about your new appliances available standard at Satake Estates and as options at some of our other communities.

Oh, there are a few more innovations in technology for your home that I couldn’t resist sharing…
