Celebrating 50 Years of Earth Day!

Did you know that April 22nd marks the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day?  As we adapt to the restrictions of social distancing, one thing we can celebrate is our shrinking carbon footprint. During this newfound journey, we are here to serve our clients today and tomorrow building energy-efficient homes designed to soak in natural light and ventilation. Modular construction maximizes the use of building materials and utilizes waste to energy practices which means far less waste in landfills.  A tighter building envelope combined with the insulation package we include in each home means greater energy efficiency and savings for the homeowner. Our homes are better for the families living in them and for our environment. What are some easy ways to reduce that carbon footprint even more?  Continue to reduce and consolidate trips to the store. Pick up needed items for neighbors and alternate trips to the store with friends. Wash and carry your own reusable shopping bags a

Getting Your Kitchen Ready For Easter And Passover Gatherings

  1.  The first rule of your makeover should be pretty obvious, Spring cleaning is vital to making sure your kitchen is as fresh and renewed as the flowers sprouting up. Make sure you clean the counters and appliances. Go through the cupboards and throw away those out of date cereal boxes, spices that have changed colors and everything in between. Replace your refrigerator’s water filter with one of these, upgrade outdated or broken appliances, and give the stove a proper cleaning. Nature has had all winter to rejuvenate, all you need is a well spent weekend.

  2.  Once you’ve cleaned the kitchen, make sure you’ve created an open and free space to work with. Regardless of how clean a kitchen is, too much clutter causes a “stuffy” feeling and that’s exactly what you want to avoid. Try to maximize working space by freeing up counter tops from unnecessary clutter (that might be a nice blender, but when was the last time you used it?). Take advantage of overhead shelf space, organize cooking and eating utensils, and remember to keep things you use often close by and accessible.

3.    After a good cleaning and proper organization, add some touches of nature in your kitchen to bring a livelier, fresher feel. Strategically place some fresh flowers on the island or in a nice corner of the counter top. Consider growing some fresh Basil or Cilantro by the kitchen window to add to recipes. They smell great and are a great way to add freshness to spring dishes and some extra money in your wallet. Find ways to bring in some natural light by opening windows and/or replacing those dark blinds. Keep the kitchen as light and “fresh” as possible. Mother Nature has been working hard to provide those pretty lilies and that warm sun, be sure to invite them into your kitchen for that fresh Spring feel.

 4.    Consider changing the color scheme in your kitchen to reflect what’s going on outside. Think fresh, light colors like light greens and blues. Orange and yellow will help add more “warmth” too. You could also change up the artwork in your kitchen. Look for similar color schemes and lighter designs. Watercolor paintings are a nice touch, as are more abstract (but light-hearted) pieces. Think about adding a mirror or two, placed in a good spot to reflect any natural light. This will help brighten up the room and even add a sense of openness and space.
