Stairs...Designs with a Purpose

Staircases are permanent fixtures that escort you from one place to another but staircases are more than modes of transportation. They are tantalizing designs that thrill the eye and brings character to the home. They are more than function; staircases offer style. Sometimes style is more important than function or function is more important than style. Which do you think is more important: function or style? Or must there be both function and style?

Entry Doors

 

The front door is the first thing that you see before entering the home. The front door should reflect the owners personality and taste. The size and style of your front door depends on the size of the house. A very large house would look much nicer with a large single door or double doors. A small house would look better with a large single door or a regular single door. The door can be made form wood or metal with wrought iron designs. Make a first impression with that perfect entry door.

Searching for your dream home...

The need to move is urgent. Do we build or buy? The difference is like making a cake from scratch and not knowing what ingredients to add or to buy a cake from the store already made. So much goes into building a house and much time and patience will definitely be needed. It all starts with finding a great location. Will your perfect spot be close to the ocean or perhaps near a lake? How about mountain property? A log home that you've dreamed of to go skiing in the winter? How about a desert property with your very own oasis? Now on to find the perfect spot with the perfect view.......After a while, if you've seen one cactus you've seen them all. The desert is an endless sea of sand. Will your final spot be located in the city or the country?

How about living in a luxury loft in the city?

 



 

How about waking up to the sound of the waves every morning?

 

What about staying close to family and friends in suburbia?

 



 

Living with some fresh air and sun from the desert would be nice...

 

 

or a home in the country with a garden to grow fresh fruit?

How about fresh pine mountain air and views of the lake?
