Builders' Show It’s good to be back! Sorry that I haven’t checked in.  We’ve been busy preparing our current home for sale and tweaking plans for our new home, not to mention some holidays thrown in, too.

We’ve just returned from the International Builders’ Show in Orlando and we’re brimming with ideas, for both our clients at Fairhaven Homes as well as our own new home.  It was my first time there and I received quite an education.  It took us 2½ days to see all of the vendors we were interested in.   The vast displays of faucets, wood floors,  cabinets, appliances, lighting – you get the drift – were too much fun to explore.  In addition, I learned fascinating facts about such diverse subjects as geothermal systems and back-up generators to the latest in LED lighting. Builders show displays I was dazzled by the window and door displays, particularly the very appealing NanaWalls.  You’ve probably seen them in commercial applications, but they are a showstopper in a private home.  Perhaps our favorites were the “smart home” vendors.  We returned several times to their booths to get a broad education on their various unique options, which I will share with you in detail in a future blog.

2011 will be a busy and  eventful year for this builder's wife.  I look forward to sharing what I learn with you.
