Kitchens are considered by many to be the heart of the home, so it’s important to get the mood right.

Each of us at some moment during our lives has found ourselves thinking: “I never want to leave this place.” Perhaps you were on a long awaited vacation, visiting a friend’s home, touring a new city or just sitting on a deck overlooking the ocean.

Your home should be one big deep breath followed by one relaxing, calming exhale. It should bring you happiness as you walk through the front door.

Natural light is the secret sauce for most home illumination plans today. It connects us to the outdoors, reduces energy bills and makes us happier and more energetic.

Maybe you can’t spend your whole summer traveling, but you can easily recreate some luxe resort atmosphere at home, especially out back where your space is more flexible and the sky’s quite literally the limit.

The Northern Arizona luxury home market currently is highly competitive, with the average days on market often in the single digits.

With energy costs soaring and concern about greenhouse gasses rising, many homeowners are looking to integrate “green,” energy-efficient features into new and existing homes. 

While greenhouses in TV shows or movies usually set the scene for a tryst or, well, murder, let yours be a haven for growing vegetables in the winter, orchids all year-round or nurturing whatever meets your planting desires.
