There's something profoundly comforting about returning home. Whether it's the end of a long day or after years away, 'getting back home' represents a return to where we feel most loved, most secure, and most at peace. It's not just about the physical space; it's about reconnecting with our roots and rekindling the memories that shape who we are.

🌟 Home is where we laugh, where we find comfort, and where we make lifelong memories. It's our sanctuary from the chaos of the outside world, a place where we can truly be ourselves.

As we step through our front door, let’s appreciate the familiar sights, sounds, and smells that welcome us back, reminding us of who we are and who we love. Let’s cherish the joy of getting back home, where our heart resides, and where every corner holds a cherished memory.

🔑💭 Put in the comments, what does “Getting Back Home” mean to you?

So excited to be named one of the best residential architects in Ohio by the Home Builder Digest! 🏡

Regarded as one of the best states to live in, Ohio is noted for its picturesque, tiny towns; lovely fall foliage; and stunning natural wonders such as its waterfalls, rivers, and over a hundred natural lakes. It offers its residents a relatively low cost of living and several growing cities that at...

🏡Home Matters: Turn ordinary into EXTRAORDINARY!

The real estate market in Central Ohio is still a highly active seller’s market with very little inventory, making it extremely challenging to find that perfect home before it goes in contract.

Talk to a REALTOR® about what your home is worth and what it would likely cost you to purchase the home you are looking for. Meet with an architect to walk through your home with you to talk about what you like and what doesn’t work. Meet with a contractor to talk with them about your ideas and get ballpark pricing. Maybe changing what you don’t like about your home is an easier fix than you thought.

I have also had clients hire me to walk through homes with them along with their REALTOR®. Homes that don’t function really well or need some TLC tend to spend a little more time on the market, so we can walk through them with you to talk about what renovations could be completed in the home to make it your dream home.

Another option is to stage your home as if you are going to sell it. I don't mean de-personalize the spaces, as that is what makes your home yours, but take the time to purge and get rid of clutter. Eliminating stuff will reduce your stress, along with making the spaces feel larger. Complete your honey-do list, along with repairing holes, scratches, chips, etc. Updating paint colors will freshen up your home, and lighter colors will also make spaces feel larger. Rearranging your furniture can also make a room feel larger and will refresh the space. These things will make you love your home more than you already do.

I hope these tips bring more calm and relaxation to your home, allowing for more joy and happiness in your life.

🏠Home Matters: Homes shape lives

We all have big goals we want to achieve. We have goals for our career, relationships, health, and finances, though what are your plans for your home?

I am sure you think about things that you like and dislike in your home often, though have you ever made a list of the things you would want to change in your home?

Did you know that goals are 42% more likely to be achieved if written down? You can easily achieve this in one weekend if you carve out some time to think about your home, how it functions for your family, and the changes you would like to make to improve it. Here are five steps that will allow you to achieve this overwhelming task by Monday morning.

1. Write down the names of every room, even the closets in your home.

2. Next to each room, write down what you have in each room. And be honest with yourself, if your treadmill is sitting in your walk-in closet – even though you wish it wasn’t – you still need to write it down. You can’t make changes if you are ignoring the elephant in the room … or the treadmill in the room.

3. Write down how each room makes you feel and why it makes you feel that way.
-frustration because it is messy?
-joy because it’s a relaxing space?
-anxiety because it feels too small?
-calm because it’s clean and organized?

4. What do you wish you could change in each room? -size of the spaces
-the natural light
-the finishes (flooring, trim, cabinets, countertops)
-the furniture in the room?

5. Finally, write down how these updates would change how you use the space, how the space functions for your family, and how the spaces make you feel.

Think outside of the box – these goals will not only help you think about what you could achieve in your existing home but also what you would want in your dream home.
