Owning a home is the American Dream! People plan, save and
visualize about their America Dream, sometimes for years.
When you read the word “home” you probably have a picture of your
own home that comes to mind. A fond memory and warm emotions accompany those
thoughts and feelings. A smile may come to your face as you remember that
special Christmas or amazing childhood birthday party at your home. Remember
walking into your home and smelling your favorite Christmas cookies being baked
or hear the laughter of family members enjoying themselves.
The quote, “Home is where your heart is” sums it all up. It’s
where memories are created. Home is bursting with love and is felt for the
first time. It’s where YOU got started.
As you can see a house is so much more than mortar, lumber,
windows, a roof and some furniture. The walls, patio, kitchen and garage have
much more meaning and value attached to them than the actual cost of the
products to build them. The American Dream has much more attached to it that
the numbers on the house designating the address. Whether you remodel or
build-There’s no place like home!
Remodeling your American Dream allows you to update your drab
kitchen, expand the bathroom to meet the needs of your growing family or add
the home theater, game room or man cave to accommodate all your children’s (or
husbands) friends.
Building a “custom” home is a life-long dream that is customized
to fit your lifestyle, whether it is luxurious, recreational, modern,
contemporary, or southwestern – you name it! When you build a custom home, you
have the freedom to decide every detail, from location to size, overarching style
to the finishing touches.
As you build, remodel or update your American Dream, it is
important to know why you’re doing it. Why build? Why remodel or update?
Understanding the reason “Why” you’re doing what you’re doing is the fuel that
powers you through your project. It’s what creates the passion for what you’re
doing. The “why” is the meaning and purpose behind the construction.
Christmas
time can be stress filled. Take a few minutes out of your day to contemplate
the above questions. We don't want add more stress to your life right now but take
a break from the long list of things you need to do. Like….. pick up last
minute things you forgot for the upcoming party or the gifts left to buy for
that long lost Aunt somebody. Let go of that for a moment and focus on what your home means to you. Why do
you want to make the changes now?
Christmas
is a time to remember how grateful we are to have a home to live in. The
abundance we have and the multiple gifts we receive every day.
Deeply
understanding YOUR "why" will help you stay grateful and provide you
focus and direction.
Merry
Christmas from Sandy and Laura
