Publishers’ Letter for Winter Issue 2010

Darcia Black

Thank you for visiting New Homes and Ideas magazine online!

If you are unsure which community might fit your lifestyle, you can also hear from someone who has just purchased a home in “New Home Buyers of the Triangle” on page 40. Each issue we ask a few recent local homebuyers to tell us in their own words why they bought where they did and what they are enjoying about their new neighborhood and the home they purchased.

Maybe you’re already in a home you love but wish you could change one feature that would make your home exactly right? In the featured “Before and After” article on page 38, one such homeowner knew they wanted to make their living room more comfortable but were unsure how to achieve it. See how local Quality Design and Construction, Inc. found a creative solution for them (that includes flipping their existing fireplace to an outdoor living area!).

Just because it’s Winter you don’t have to wait for Spring to see “Green” in the
Triangle. In this official Green Issue we have dedicated pages 8-19 to showcase a local green community, green homes built by local builders, and a green room remodel.

Aside from actually building or remodeling a home, one practice that is very “green” (as well as very economical!) is investing in pre-owned household items such as cabinets, fixtures and furniture that is vintage or antique. These items are typically made well and can fit into almost any style home either as they are or with a little bit of ingenuity. Whether you are trying to give a new home a “lived in” feel or your existing home a fresh look, you’ll see creative examples and read about repurposing furniture in the “Decorating with Antiques” article starting on page 20.

For additional information on new homes, home products and services available in the Triangle, visit www.newhomesandideas.com. You’ll find archives of past articles on home buying, remodeling and decorating as well as an interactive way to shop for a home by geography, price, builder and the amenities you desire.
