It has all of the trappings that come with this status, including some of the most renowned golf courses in the U.S., hundreds of thousands of tourists who flock to the area to take to the links, and one of the most notable events on the PGA Tour. This event, the Valspar Championship, is right around the corner and will bring many of the best golfers on the planet to compete at one of the most beautiful golf venues in the country.
The Valspar Championship is part of the PGA’s annual Florida Swing, where four golf tournaments in a row are played at courses near Jacksonville, Orlando, Palm Beach, and, of course, Tampa. It is one of the defining parts of the PGA Tour, attracting many world-renowned golfers, and the most significant period for Florida golf enthusiasts.
The Valspar Championship is played at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club in Palm Harbor, a short drive from Tampa. It is played at the challenging Copperhead Course, a par-71 course that extends for 7,209 yards. The tournament has been played at Innisbrook ever since it began in 2000. It is a stroke-play tournament with a significant purse of $8,100,000, with the winner receiving the biggest share of this fund, which is distributed among the top performers.
This year, the Valspar Championship will run from March 13th-19th and will feature elite golfers, including Jordan Spieth, Si Woo Kim, and many more. The competitors will seek to stop Sam Burns, who won in 2022 and 2021, from claiming a three-peat and etching his name in history as the only golfer to do so at the Valspar Championship.
The Valspar Championship will bring in tens of thousands of attendees seeking to watch the best in the world go head-to-head at the gorgeous backdrop of Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club. Many will be devoted golf enthusiasts, but there are plenty of fun things to do for those of all interests and ages at this event.
A week of entertainment awaits those who visit the Valspar Championship, with ample events to circle on the calendar. There will be a live concert from legendary artist Darius Rucker, and several venues will serve delicious food and drinks. The Florida Blue Family Fun Zone will be between the 8th and 9th holes, which includes a puttputt area for kids and other fun activities for young golf lovers.

Tips for Creating the Perfect Home Office
Over the past several years, the home office has gone from a pleasant luxury to an absolute necessity. The pandemic completely transformed how we work, opening the door for people in various industries to work from home. A home office space that inspires comfort and maximized productivity is exceedingly important in this age of remote work. Let’s look at some tips to achieve that ideal home office to make working from home a breeze.
Prioritize Good Lighting
The look of the home’s office matters more than ever. With virtual meetings, now regular occurrences for many employees, this space is often showcased to coworkers. Therefore, having an office space that looks presentable on camera is vital, and good lighting is one important component that will help.
Good lighting helps the worker and their space look better on camera. Dim, direct overhead lighting isn’t going to show well. Natural lighting shows up nicely on camera and provides the additional benefit of a refreshing view of the outdoors for the homeowner. If this isn’t a possibility, select lighting—avoiding fluorescents—that doesn’t overwhelm on camera but offers a smooth look that enhances the space.
Minimize Clutter but Add Inspiration
Home office clutter can impact productivity by negatively affecting focus. The more overwhelmed the space is with spare books and loose papers, the less productive the worker will likely be. However, while minimizing clutter is important, make sure to add pieces that personalize the space.
People add all kinds of additional personal effects to their home office to increase their comfort level and inspire them throughout the day. These include photos, artwork, sculptures, figurines, and anything in between. It is important for the space to feel customized, but be careful to avoid overcrowding.
Add Stylish Ergonomic Seating
Many homeowners spend a substantial chunk of their week within their home office. It is easier to dictate the working environment from home, and comfort should be at the forefront of a home office design. Ergonomic seating will maximize comfort. Incorporate adjustable chairs designed to improve posture and support the back.
Style doesn’t have to be sacrificed for comfort. There are a variety of ergonomic chairs that still offer a sleek look to complement a home office. Choose a chair that matches the room’s style and color scheme to combine both comfort and aesthetics
Consider the Psychology of Colors
Working can be stressful and tiring, even while working from home. Creating a home office that uses the psychology of color can help lighten the burden by creating a feeling that helps to push through the work week and get maximum positive results. The psychology of color focuses on the various feelings and moods that colors inspire in people, and each color choice made for the home office can have a different impact.
Different colors have been found to have varying impacts on the human psyche. Reds and oranges are known for inspiring energy and raising metabolism and heart rates. Greens and blues tend to have a calming effect due to their earthy, outdoor feel. When picking the color of a home office, consider the moods and feelings wanted while at work.

Six Current Trends In Custom Home Design
The opportunity to implement custom home features is incredibly exciting. Whether your home is being built from scratch or undergoing significant renovations, customizing your living space gives you a heightened degree of control over your environment and the ability to create the home of your dreams.
Homeowners can choose many different directions when adding unique features to their properties. Here are six custom home features that are currently trending.
Embedded Smart Technology
When designing from scratch, many homeowners add smart technology features to their custom residences. Smart technology allows residents to control various aspects of their home virtually, from heating, locks, and lighting to speakers and shades.
Open-Concept Kitchen & Dining Room
The open-concept design is not going out of style. People appreciate its advantages, including the more cohesive floor plan and easier room-to-room communication and connection.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor spaces are essential components of home design. Entertaining outside is very popular, particularly during the summer months, and as a result, many homeowners have decided to add an outdoor kitchen. These are functioning kitchens in a back or front yard, typically including seating, a barbecue, and refrigerator. Outdoor kitchens are not only popular hosting venues, but they also add to a backyard’s aesthetic appeal. Not surprisingly, this trend is prevalent in warm-weather areas.
Heated Flooring
In colder environments, homes can feel frigid in the winter, even with a strong central heating system. Floors especially get very chilly, which is why heated flooring has become a popular custom home feature. Many homeowners typically choose to install heated flooring systems in washrooms and kitchens, making their otherwise chilly floors much more comfortable.
5
Mudrooms
Another popular trend is the inclusion of a mudroom, which is a secondary entrance where people can remove their shoes and jackets and clean up after their time outdoors. They often double as a storage area for outerwear, usually including benches and hooks, and are commonly situated by the front, back, or garage entrances. These popular additions are something homeowners with young children and/or pets prioritize to help maintain a clean home.
Dedicated Home Office
Working from home has led to an increased need for home office spaces. Many homeowners prioritize efficient and comfortable office spaces with customizations, such as soundproofing, stand-up desks, and other flourishes that help create a productive environment within their home.

Fort Myers is located on the state’s southeastern coast along the Gulf of Mexico. Famed for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture, Fort Myers is a dream destination for those seeking a Florida home. Let’s look at some of the characteristics of this charming city that make it stand out for Florida buyers.
Gorgeous Outdoor Settings
Visitors will be immediately struck by Fort Myers’s picturesque outdoor settings. Fort Myers is known for its beautiful sandy beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, and it provides several gorgeous areas that can be explored by foot or boat.
Residents can drop anchor on a vast array of islands that surround Fort Myers. Sanibel and Captiva are two of the most famous, but there are plenty of others to explore as well. The beaches of Fort Myers are renowned for the exotic seashells that wash up on the shores every day. The city is considered one of the world’s capitals for shelling.
The waterways of Fort Myers are teeming with wildlife, which makes it a popular place for both fishing and animal spotting. Dolphins can be found in the protected J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and the Calusa Blueway is a hotspot for kayaking and birdwatching.
Appealing Culture
While the scenery of Fort Myers contributes substantially to its appeal, residents also love the city’s many cultural attractions. Fort Myers is a medium-sized city, yet it has so much to see. It has a vibrant and historic downtown with brick-paved streets and old buildings that house an abundance of shops and restaurants. Every month, the town hosts Art Walk and Music Walk, two events that spotlight the city’s massive art and entertainment scene.
Fort Myers is the place for high-end shopping and dining. The city has an array of local and national brands, which can be found in the large downtown core, and the food offerings are spectacular. Seafood meals are everywhere, and fresh Gulf of Mexico catches are regularly served.
Fort Myers also has unique cultural attractions, such as the estate homes owned by Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, two of the country’s most prominent industrialists. There are also intriguing museums and famous entertainment venues there, including the city’s renowned live theatre company, Florida Repertory Theatre, who performs at the Historic Arcade Theatre and the ArtStage Studio Theatre.
High-End Affordable Real Estate
Fort Myers has so much to offer, and yet home prices remain lower than the national average. According to Redfin in January 2023, the median sale price of a home in the city was $377,250, making homes much cheaper than other similarly appealing markets. Even with renowned natural beauty and a bustling culture, Fort Myers remains a comparably affordable market.
The homes available in Fort Myers provide serious bang for their buck. Ample beautiful homes that provide huge, spacious residences for fair prices can be found across the city. The luxury home market in Fort Myers is incredible, and buyers’ purchasing power there is greatly enhanced compared to other Florida cities, such as Naples, Palm Beach, or Miami. It is an ideal city with a high quality of living, all at a rate accessible to the average American.

The business aspects are a necessary part of the job, but Home Builders Financial Partners allows builders to focus on managing the construction while HBFP manages the paperwork and the financial end. With a customized system tailored to the unique needs of each business, Home Builders Financial Partners helps free up time, better organize a business, and increase profitability.

“Communicate clearly and honestly, and you will always be on the right track...” That is Cheri Thompson’s philosophy of life. Starting at a very early age she spent a career working in the hospitality industry, and eventually a dream grew to move to a warmer climate. Cheri says “I was confident my prior experience would give me the expertise to communicate clearly with people and Florida real estate sales, like hospitality, requires excellent communication skills, plus it is very fast paced. I learned quickly in hospitality to be super organized.”
Some years ago, while planning her move from Syracuse New York, Cheri completed all the required real estate courses so she could start her career in Real Estate the minute she settled in Florida. In the 10 years prior to moving Cheri also mastered home staging and home merchandising by helping many homeowners effectively optimize their property for sale. She now helps homeowners turn their rooms (sometimes useful, but not very exciting) into inviting cozy places of refuge. Moving into real estate was an obvious choice! Once that was in motion, where to live was the next question. From its diverse culture to its beautiful beaches, choosing to relocate to Pinellas County was a no-brainer. Quickly, Cheri came to realize that real estate was the ideal career choice for her; and now she shares her knowledge so others can realize their dream of loving where you live too!
Cheri started out in the food industry taking on greater responsibilities to learn how to multitask and manage people. By paying her dues with a great work ethic she worked her way up the chain and landed the Director of Human Resources position for a highly successful restaurant in the Central, Western and Metropolitan New York areas. Once in that position, her skill set included among other things understanding the importance of managing specific challenges with attention to confidentiality, diplomacy, and discretion.In her spare time, she would offer to help friends and family members paint their homes, redesign a space, or just simply organize a closet. For her - giving someone the opportunity to see their home in a new light, just by moving furniture, or painting a wall gave her such a great feeling... “I have always enjoyed interior design and it has been my go-to for as long as I can remember...“
Being from Syracuse, NY (Go SU!) which by the way is considered the snowiest city in NY, Cheri and her husband traveled to the Gulf Coast for more than 25 years to visit family. It was always something they looked forward to. Soon they realized that it might be time to put down roots in the Florida area they had come to know and love. They chose Pinellas County for its diverse culture.
While planning her move, Cheri had to consider her background in Human Resources. It is a very specific field that differs from state to state. She knew she would be successful if she was to remain in her established field, but felt she had the horsepower to tackle her ultimate dream of living in Florida and jumping into real estate full time. Taking advantage of the incredible weather - one of the best reasons for relocating helped make that decision easier. Now she guides others who have the same dream of relocating by sharing her experiences. Whatever your dreams are when it comes to homeownership, be it a first home, or a vacation property, Cheri can help you fulfill that dream, and make it a reality!
