Home Resolutions for the New Year

With the New Year just around the corner, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your resolutions for 2013. Sure – many will vow to hit the gym, stop smoking or spend less – but what about your home? Will 2013 be the year to finally build the home of your dreams? Or perhaps tackle the renovations you’ve been talking year-after-year? At DH Custom Homes, we want to help you stick to your home resolutions!

Looking for some inspiration? Here are some ideas to start 2013 off on the right foot:

Save Money – Did you know that a small investment in your home could save you thousands in the long run? Now is the time to invest in energy-efficient appliances and improvements in your home. If your 1970’s refrigerator is still grinding away, it just might be time to upgrade! What about those drafty windows? Consider Energy Star windows to save month-after-month on your heating and cooling bills.

Spend More Time with Friends & Family – There are many changes you can make to create a home perfect for entertaining. Whether it’s the addition of a guest suite or simply a new kitchen island with a raised counter for serving food and beverages, your home should be welcoming and inviting for your guests. Perhaps you’d like to build an addition that can serve as a family room and be repurposed as a guest room while visitors are in town! DH Custom Homes enjoys creating custom spaces that are perfectly suited to your needs.

Put your Best Face Forward – We all want to make a good first impression – and so does your home! In 2013, stroll out front and take a look at your curb appeal! Is your driveway inviting? Does your front porch welcome guests to your door? Would you like to expand your porch or even add a back porch to greet guests and families alike? The options are limitless for improving curb appeal in your home!
