In recent years, one of the most consistent trends I’ve noticed is the growing popularity of mud rooms, also known as drop zones. As busy families come and go in our daily hustle and bustle, order can quickly turn to chaos without a central place for everyone to drop what they’re carrying. Having a place […]
Why Home Staging?
October 27, 2014 by
One of the most common questions I get from potential home sellers is “Why Home Staging?” Understandably, many folks don’t really understand what home staging is, and as a result, they don’t understand why it’s important or what the result is. My friend, Laurel Miller Starks, recently posted an eye-opening visual answer to the question, […]
The Demise of Granite
January 2, 2014 by
It’s funny. At the first of the past several (at least 5) years, I’ve seen articles claiming that granite is “out.” Yet here we are in 2014 with no substantial change in the marketplace. While I do believe that there will eventually be a bigger, better countertop option to replace the popularity of granite, I’m […]
Featured Features – Hidden Kitchen Storage
December 27, 2012 by
One of the complaints I hear often is that homes today don’t have enough character, which for most people means they don’t have a lot of the cool architecutral features that older homes have. In many ways I agree. I love the old pediments, built-ins, and framing detail of historical homes. Not only are these […]

Each year, we get the opportunity to see our local builders show off what they can do in a way that they don’t normally get to for most clients, and this year will be no different. However, there are a select handful of builders in town that we know will always take it BEYOND the […]

As you’ve seen in the past few days’ posts about the 2011 OKC Parade of Homes, we’ve seen some great stuff so far, and yesterday was no exception. In fact, we got a little spoiled yesterday, seeing 3 of the best all in a row. We’ll post up all of the pics at the end […]
Faves from 2011 Parade of Homes – Part II
October 19, 2011 by
You probably noticed in yesterday’s summary of what we saw, when perusing Parade Homes Monday, that we look at more than just the pretty stuff. We really enjoy seeing great function and useful features, such as energy-efficient upgrades, although the pretty stuff definitely gets our attention. Here are a few of our favorites from yesterday’s […]

The 2011 Parade of Homes is in full swing and there’s a ton of great stuff out there to see. If we tried to show you everything we loved, we’d be posting pictures here for weeks, so instead we’re just going to show you a few each day for now. Here are a few of […]
