Charlotte, NC – September 15, 2010

The 21st Century Building Expo and Conference was kicked off in style Wednesday evening with “An Evening in Venice” themed awards gala.  The STARS Awards, sponsored by the North Carolina Home Builders Association, were held Wednesday evening at the Hilton Charlotte Center City in downtown Charlotte.  Members of the local Home Builders Associations from across the state gathered to honor deserving recipients for their achievements in the last year.  There were awards for marketing, sales, merchandising, architecture, and special projects.

Trend Story- The New Luxury Kitchen and Bath

Posted on by
The recovering economy may be encouraging us to make changes that enhance the appearance and functionality of our homes. But in these realistic times, we are re-defining luxury. The spending patterns that have emerged reveal our new emphasis on quality, affordability and long-term value.

Design trends have followed suit, as interiors now reflect a “less is more” philosophy that uses every inch of space wisely, conserves energy, and strikes a balance between substance and style.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recently announced the winners of its annual design competition, along with the top 10 design trends, many of which mirror our new

mindset. From practical to the purely aesthetic, we compared the results from NKBA with feedback from Charlotte design professionals to bring you the most significant kitchen and bath trends in our market.

Featured Home from our Summer 2010 Issue: Location Myers Park, Charlotte,NC

Posted on by
One of the first things you notice when you enter the Myers Park home where Dick and Sallie Klingman live is the beautiful Tuscan-styled garden that lies just beyond the French doors in the solarium. Immediately in the foreground of the sun-baked patio, is a wall of Tea Olive trees that beautifully frame the view of a lawn sculpture and a sitting area that is off in the distance. There is a formality to the design of the patio that lies right outside the doors, yet on further inspection, when you look beyond the first outside room, you notice the informality of the sculpture that lies deeper in the yard.
