SPOTLIGHT: COPPERLEAF HOMES

The hottest building trends for 2016 COURTESY OF COPPERLEAF HOMES

You don’t have to click through the TV channels very long before discovering numerous shows focusing exclusively on all of the wonderful options available for getting the home you want versus one you’re willing to settle for. As a custom homebuilder, we’re always excited when buyers have that first moment of realization — that by building custom, they can have it all. Presently there are six trends enticing people to seriously consider building a new custom home.

OPEN CONCEPT

Gone are the days of multiple main floor rooms dividing the house into a maze. Today it’s all about open concept living. Formal living rooms, and sometimes even dining rooms, are going by the wayside, exchanged for larger and more open flex spaces. Increasingly buyers are requesting designs that incorporate open kitchens that flow into a dining space and then to an open living room beyond. These layouts best accommodate the lifestyles of buyers more interested in communal living and gathering. And it’s certainly a lot more economical than the annual display of nice formal furniture placed in rooms too long left shuttered!

DOUBLE KITCHEN ISLANDS

With more home designs calling for open concept living, it’s no surprise that the requests for double kitchen islands is on the rise as well. Ask yourself, when you host a night of entertainment or a large family gathering, where do people tend to congregate? The kitchen!

Making room for cooking, laying out dinner trays, and providing bar space for eating, visiting, or game playing is driving an entire new wave of kitchens designed to accommodate double islands.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES

With hints of spring on the way, more of us are once again realizing how eager we are to get outdoors and bask in the beauty of the wonderful Colorado landscape. With the help of HGTV, folks are realizing that there is more to outdoor living spaces than a small uncovered deck slapped onto the back of the house. Today’s outdoor living areas often are covered, at least partially so, and incorporate everything from grilling stations to fireplaces to TV entertainment spaces. In the years to come your home will be highly appraised by how well it lives inside and out. It’s a major focus for today’s buyer and has the potential to send the resale value soaring.

WINE ROOMS

Yes, wine rooms are “in” again. However, their design and placement is being accommodated in more refined and strategic ways. As an example, one consideration is a wine room on the landing of the stairs between the main floor and lower level. This placement not only transforms a common stairwell into a unique and beautiful custom feature, but also provides ease of service, up or down, during a party event, making its function more practical. Other interesting features being requested for wine rooms are barreled ceilings, temperature and

TECHNOLOGY

What would a new home be without the latest and greatest in home technology? More than ever iPhone compatibility is a must. Special features now allow wireless control of everything from thermostats to lighting to movie/entertainment spaces to heated flooring in the master bath. The technological advancements for today’s new homes go well beyond gadgets. There are also new technologies pertaining to basic building materials

that are key features of today’s homebuilding as well. Each year we’re seeing improvements in such things as insulation, doors, windows, plumbing and appliance packages.

EXTRA LARGE MASTER BATHS AND CLOSETS

The average size of a master suite for a new home is approximately 650 square feet and is obviously a critical part of your home design and livability. But while older homes focused more on large masters with sitting areas, resulting in smaller closets and bathrooms, today’s designs are CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

just the opposite. Focusing on usability, today’s new homes are reallocating the same square footage by lessening the actual sleeping area (e.g., deleting sitting areas) while increasing closet space and enlarging the master bath. The end result is dramatic; walk-in showers, double sinks and closets with sufficient built-ins for additional clothes, shoes and accessories.

NO BETTER TIME TO BUILD

These are just a few of the hottest items presently trending in new home builds. But there are many

other advantages as well. And with existing inventory in Colorado Springs at twenty-year lows, there’s never been a better time to sell your existing home and build a new one. Why settle for less? Come by and visit our model home at 2172 Red Edge Heights, Colorado Springs, Colo., 80921 and let’s see what we can do to take advantage of low interest rates and significantly upgrade your quality of living. We can talk about your custom home ideas and see if we can put one, or several, of these six trends into your new home. 

A step-by-step guide to quitting your job BY LIZ RYAN  FORBES

Unless you have an alternate source of income, you’re going to need to find a new job before you quit the job you’ve got now. You can launch a stealth job search and land your new job while you’re still working at the old one. Of course, you have to use discretion during your under-the-radar job search. You can’t advertise your job-hunting status on your LinkedIn profile. I also don’t recommend that you send out any blast email messages to your friends, telling them about your job search. No matter how many times you use the word “confidential” in that message, one of your knucklehead friends is sure to send it to all of his or her friends, and that’s how stealth job searches can run into trouble! You still have plenty of good jobsearch channels available to you. You can reach out to recruiters (find them on LinkedIn or ask your friends for recommendations) and you can still contact your college alumni office to connect with alums who might be looking for talented people like you in their firms. You can still reach out to hiring managers using Pain Letters and your Human-Voiced Resume. You can’t post your resume on a career site, and you can’t go to job fairs without worrying that the wrong people will learn about your job-hunting status. You’ll have to use some fancy footwork to go on job interviews, but that is a new skill you’re learning, and one that all of us must learn! You can schedule some of your interviews after hours, and use vacation time for the others. When you get your job offer from the next company you’re going to work for, let your new hiring manager know that you intend to give two weeks’ notice at your current job. The “intend” part is important because some inhuman workplaces will walk you out the door the minute you tell them you’re leaving — as though leaving the company were itself a crime! Later on you can write a pithy review of that place on Glassdoor, but for now, you want to get out in one piece!

Talk to your new manager about your start date, in case your two weeks’ notice turns into no notice at all when you get walked out the door unexpectedly. Before you give notice, get your personal belongings out of the office just in case they decide to hustle you out before you have to chance to gather your things. Get any personal files off your computer’s hard drive, and make sure you’ve got email addresses for (or have made first-degree LinkedIn connections with) any friends at work you want to stay in touch with. Make sure you’ve got references from the job you’re leaving — not necessarily your own manager or the HR department, but other managers who like you or perhaps a manager who left the firm before you did. You can also use co-workers, vendors and customers as reference-givers. Make sure you leave your desk and your work in good shape for the next person. Even if you hated the job, your reputation is important, so don’t do anything stupid like destroying files or withholding passwords. All that will do is irritate people and not the people you’d want to irritate, but your co-workers who have done nothing wrong. Choose a time when your manager is in his or her office or when you can get him or her into a private spot like a conference room, and give notice in person if you can. You can say “Jane, I wanted to chat with you for a second. Is now a good time?” Jane will say “What’s up?” and you’ll wait until you and she are behind a closed door, and then say “Jane, I wanted to let you know that I’ve accepted a new position and I’m going to be leaving here. I want to thank you for your support here.” (Say it, even if it’s not true — white lies for politeness’ sake are the mark of a wellbrought-up person, like you!) Jane may be surprised or not, but either way, your task is nearly done. If Jane accepts your two weeks of notice, you and she may discuss what you’ll be working on during your last two weeks on the job. She may get you involved in the search for your replacement, or not.

Either way, you can celebrate — you’ve accomplished your goal! If Jane can’t handle the sight of you for another two weeks, she may tell you to leave now or sometime between now and the date you’ve picked to leave, two weeks out. You will have covered this topic with your new manager so that he or she will be ready for you to start early if necessary. That way, you won’t be out two weeks of income. Wish Jane and the team well and during the last two weeks on the job, don’t say anything negative about Jane or the company, no matter how you feel. People will remember what you say and it won’t make your teammates feel better to hear

you bash your leaders or your company given that they still have to work there. Say as little as possible except that you’re glad to know all of them. If Jane asks which company you’re going to work for, you can tell her, if you’re comfortable, or you can say “It’s not a competitor.” Some managers are paranoid and will use your silence in answer to that question as a justification for showing you out the door early. Don’t be rattled if this happens. When people show you what they’re made of, be grateful! Your heart told you it was time to leave, and now you’ve had more evidence from the universe that your instinct was correct.

In the best case, Jane and the team show you off with a going-away party and you all stay friends and everybody stays in touch. Life is long. Relationships are long-lasting, and there’s no point in burning bridges. You don’t have to go to your exit interview if you’re offered one — after all, you’ll be so busy preparing things for your replacement during those last two weeks! — but if you do go, focus on the positive. If they’d really wanted your opinion about the job, they would have asked you before it was too late. Now it’s onward and upward for you, heading into your next career adventure. 
