These days, people are ever more practical when it comes to deciding what they want in their new homes or renovations. Entire rooms are disappearing and other rooms are becoming multi-functional. People are focusing on true value and real need.
Gone are the infrequently used formal living rooms and dining rooms. People spend more time in their family rooms and kitchens so these become the spaces that are increasing in size and becoming more functional. The dining room has become less formal and is used for everyday meals, thus eliminating the need for a breakfast room. Younger people are opting out of the formal china cabinet because they are living a more casual lifestyle.

Barry Broadway, Kathy Alexander, Fred Eberhart
A friend and I bundled up and braved the elements to attend Broadway Gallery’s event featuring photographer Fred Eberhart’s stunningly beautiful landscapes. Fred uses digital mosaic photography to get his results. The event took place at Paradise Springs Winery in Clifton, VA. To see Fred’s work go to www.broadwaygalleries.net.

Existing homes may be able to accommodate a drop zone within a closet. A closet specialist would be able to design your closet interior to fit the specific needs of your family. A lot can be done in a small space if it is properly planned and organized.
