Sustainable Home Designs Taking Over
1.
Natural Materials A serene environment is easily achievable with the use of natural materials like wood, stone and concrete. These materials lay the foundation of an organic landscape evoking a calming energy. With wood, veer towards lighter shades to create an open and airy space that reflects light. Concrete accents work well to add a flourish of a naturalistic look without going for the obvious with concrete flooring or fixtures. While using stone for countertops or walls reflects a modern twist to a room’s appearance.
28
Green is in - and that’s one design trend everyone seems to be in agreement with. Environmental conscientiousness is at the forefront of almost every discussion and interior design is capitalizing on the opportunity to infuse nature-friendly aspects into the home. We’ve rounded up the top sustainable home designs popping up. BY CHEYENNE PROSPER

The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere...

2.
Earth Tones
Gone are muted tones and taking its place are earthy hues. Saturate your home in shades of yellow, brown and red. The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere with the popular colors showing up everywhere.
3.
Living Walls The popularity of decorating with plants has exploded with plants of every kind being used to inject natural elements in the home. Taking things a step further, is the “living wall.” This vertical garden - if you will - is great to add a unique design feature to the home. If you’re short on space, this is a creative way to use greenery in your design plans without creating clutter. Yet this design trend goes beyond aesthetic - the functionality of this design is it improves air quality and improves health.
4. Green Roofs Another trend that strengthens the move to biophilia is creating green roofs. A slew of luxury buildings opening up in hot ticket locations like New York City, Dallas, Chicago and Miami have been quick to adopt the trend. Like living walls, green roofs offer practical benefits. They are much more durable than standard roofs and more energy efficient.

Tips To Move Across The Country With Your Family
You need to be careful when it comes to moving across the country with a family. You’re going to want to take this a step at a time, so everything goes well for you. Here, you’re going to get the tips you need to start moving as soon as possible to your new home.
BOXES & PACKING Moving is something you need to pack for, and when you pack, it has to be done right. First, you’re going to need to figure out where you’re going to get boxes from. One idea is to go to a local grocery store to ask them if they can give you a few boxes. Many stores go through tons of boxes every day, and they recycle them so they will provide them with a way to save themselves a bit of work. You may also be able to find moving boxes in bulk that you can purchase online, so shop around if that’s how you’re going to get what you need. When packing, you’re going to want to make sure you label all of your boxes in the right manner. You don’t want to rush through and put things that are fragile in boxes that are not marked as such, or else you won’t be careful with whatever you have in the boxes. Even if a company is packing for you, tell them you want everything labeled. Generally, professionals will label boxes, but it doesn’t hurt to remind them to do so if they aren’t for some reason. CHOOSING MOVING COMPANY Many moving companies can help you move if you don’t want to do all of your work. If you’re going to hire people to help, you have to make sure that they are charging a price that is worth it. Make sure you let them know that you’re doing a cross country move so they can give you a more accurate price quote. Also, a guide to cross country moving tips can help you to find the best and reliable professional movers for your move. Don’t just go with the first company you find because it pays to shop around and see who has the best

prices and avoid it because they charge too much. Don’t just hire a moving service based on price, however, you also need to find out if they will be worth your money to work with based on the quality of service they provide. If you want to learn more about the quality of service you’re going to get, you’re going to want to look up reviews on a company to get the information you need. When looking at reviews, please make sure they are recent, so they are likely to be still true of the company if anything has changed with them recently.
any service, including moving. DOING THE RESEARCH When moving on your own without help, you’re going to want to know if you can return your moving truck to a place in or around the city you’re moving into. Don’t get stuck in a moving truck that you can’t return without driving it far away. Many moving truck companies operate out of most major cities, and some are in smaller areas. When working with a moving truck service, make sure that you read reviews
TECH FOR THE MOVE If you’re moving far away with kids, they’re going to need something to do in your vehicle as you travel to your next home. For instance, you can let them use a tablet to play a few games you downloaded before moving, and that should keep them busy for a while. But, if you go with electronics, make sure you have a way to recharge them when running out of battery power. There are many excellent vehicle chargers, so look into that to have things charging while driving your vehicle. SIGNING UP FOR EMAILS There are a lot of options when it comes to moving; you’re just going to want to make sure that you know if a company has specials or not. Sometimes, if you go to the website of someone that does moving work, you can get a deal on their services. For some websites, you’re going to want to make it a point to sign up for the email marketing list they have in place, so you know when they have some deals. Don’t think that you have to pay full price because sometimes you can find deals on
to only work with companies worth the investment. Now you’re more aware of what you have to do when you want to move across the country with a family. Don’t rush this because you don’t want to make costly mistakes. Just use what you learned here, and in the end, you’ll do just fine.

Previously situated at the corner of Sparkman Rd and James L Redman Parkway, this home was originally hand crafted in 1917 with the stout timber from the land in which it was built. Occupied in 1918, and gracefully maintained until it was professionally relocated to its current location in 2005. This home shows its rich history and robust architecture with many of its original features such as wrap around porch, tapered columns, scalloped gable ends, intricate interior woodworking such as 10” baseboards, window casings, doors, door casings, built-ins, transom casing for entry way including French doors for privacy, solid wood heart pine flooring, period specific floor plan to accommodate both public and private gathering spaces, Jack and Jill half bath, large and abounding windows that allow the flow of natural lighting throughout, decorative fireplaces, large butler pantry and laundry area, and so much more. While keeping the integrity of this timeless masterpiece, the home was modernly updated in 2005 to include plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, vinyl siding, solid wood kitchen cabinetry, electric water heater, three air conditioning units, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops in kitchen and baths, tile flooring in kitchen and baths, and addition of an expansive Florida room with built in wet bar and seating and a primary suite and bath that includes two walk-in closets with built in closet organization, dual sinks, beautifully tiled walk in shower and claw foot tub.

Tips for Working from Home & Navigating Work Space A
t the onset of COVID-19, more than 100 million Americans have been
ordered to stay home with several states issuing stay-at-home and shelter-inplace orders. This means adjusting to an entirely new structure of working, at least for now, for many who have never worked from home before. As someone who spent 3 months of an internship (entirely remote) in an uncomfortable, temporary rental home as my family was waiting for renovations on our new home, I know that working from home can be a challenge and occasionally isolating. The way you utilize your space is the key to staying productive and sane. Whether you’re navigating working in a tiny apartment with your partner, stuck at home with your kids, or working alone, there are certain ways for maintaining a schedule and structure so that you’re able to delineate your workspace from your home life.
every day, change into comfortable but put-together clothes other than your robe or pajamas, and take a brief lunch break away from your desk. One of the most important factors is having a dedicated workspace. Having a space you go to each day will help you get in the right mindset to focus on the tasks at hand without getting distracted.
Especially those who live in a cramped apartment with two roommates or even a spouse. Companies like IKEA, Amazon, and Target offer “small space” desk options like wallmounted, floating, lap, and standing desks to accommodate small home living so you won’t be stuck working on your bed or couch.

aking a short break away from work will allow you to distance yourself, and then feel recharged once you get back, preventing burnout and further feelings of claustrophobia. Along the lines of following a work schedule, John Fitch & Max Frenzel, co-authors of Time Off Book, suggest that we calculate the amount of time we normally have to commute and use that time as our “rest” allowance. If you usually had a 30-minute subway ride or drive, that time was probably spent preparing for the day ahead. Take 30 minutes to do a relaxing ritual—whether it’s yoga, stretching, video chat with friends/family or catching up on the news. For parents with kids at home, NPR recommends making a plan for education and environment. With schools shut down, it’s advisable to not regroup children, so don’t plan on any playdates. Technology can serve as a learning tool and distraction by doing “virtual” playdates via FaceTime and services like Roblox, which allows children to chat while playing a game together. In these uncertain times, the news and navigating home relationships can serve as distractions and even triggers for stress and anxiety. Finding ways to break up the monotony and learning to cohabitate in your space will allow you to be more productive and happier each day.

CO N N E C T YO U R Interior Design with Better Sleep
Interior design sets the tone, mood, and ambiance of a room. And, there’s no room where that’s more important than one with such a specific purpose as the bedroom. The quality and length of your sleep cycle can be heavily influenced by everything from the light location and levels to the wall color and artwork. Sleep success has psychological roots that interior design can either help or hinder. Making that connection between design and purpose can help you get the full seven to nine hours of sleep you need every night. And we’ve got some tips to help.
SLEEP-ENHANCING COLOR PALETTE
Cool neutrals—the grays, whites, and pastel blues and greens—don’t overstimulate the eyes and calm the mind and body. They’re a favorite in the bedroom because of their psychological impact.
ONBOARD NATURE The barrier between the natural world and living spaces continues to thin. Time spent in nature reduces stress and anxiety, which nature-inspired design can also do. There are obvious choices like artwork that directly depicts nature in the form of landscapes, photographs, and sculptures. But, nature can enter the room through more creative and subtle means as well. Lamps, rugs, pillows with floral motifs, or organic design elements with shapes and colors of nature can relax the mind and body too. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen with their soft textures and earthy vibe simulate the calm of a nature walk. Natural elements don’t have to be soft or visually soothing to benefit sleep. Brick, stone, sand, and houseplants can be beneficial too. They also open the door for self-expression and a unique take on what it means to blend the indoors with the out.
FOCUS ON THE BED As the largest piece of furniture in the bedroom, the bed is often, though not always, the focal point. It should also be the most inviting space. Soft textures, luxurious pillows in all sizes, and throws that add dimension create a bed that’s hard to exist. The design should also have the practical in mind. Yes, extra pillows make you want to jump on the bed, but make sure there are enough functional pillows that you can keep your spine aligned while you sleep.

However, when choosing a color palette, you also have to take into account your personal, ethnic, and cultural experiences and preferences. Any color with which you have a negative connotation could potentially affect your ability to fall asleep. A color, with which you associate peace and calm even if it’s bright red, could benefit you. The key is to create a palette that reduces stress and calms your mind and body.
CONTROL NATURAL LIGHT Nature in the bedroom is a good thing. However, there are certain aspects that need to be carefully monitored and controlled because of the way they affect the sleep cycle. Natural light, for example, can suppress sleep hormones. Whether it’s sunlight from an early summer morning or moonlight in the winter, natural light is absorbed by the eyes and sent directly to the circadian region of the brain where it triggers the “awake” signal. Bedrooms with a wall of windows need sufficient window coverings to block out all light at night. Artificial light needs just as much consideration. Any task lighting should point away from or be diffused as it nears the bed. Dimmer switches are a simple way to provide ambient light control as bedtime grows near. Good bedroom design balances beauty with practicality. Walking into your bedroom should feel like a release from stress and pressure. Design that makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of the world into your personal retreat is one that will support your sleep for years to come.
