Let’s face it – working from home is the new normal for a lot of people right now. While it may be tempting to bring your laptop to bed or sit at the kitchen counter with the TV filling background noise, you will be much more productive if you designate a home office that is completely separate from the rest of the house. That being said, there’s no reason why you can’t have a relaxing view or use a stand-up desk to keep your blood pumping. Here are a few at-home offices we love!

Work From Home Spaces

Home offices have always been on the list for some, but now, more than ever, a dedicated space is a must have for home searchers. The new dedicated work from home workspace must be fully functionable and as impressive as a regular office space. proper seating, work surfaces, lighting, acoustics, and temperature control are all things to think about when building a home office to impress.

There are a few things to consider when purchasing a grill for your backyard. First, do you prefer gas, charcoal, or wood burning?

Gas grills are more efficient, cleaner, and easier to use than charcoal grills. Also, if you can hook up to a hard line of natural gas, there’s no need to ever replace propane tanks. However, some people enjoy the smoky flavor that comes with a wood-burning grill.

Second, grill size depends on how much food you’ll be cooking at once. If the answer is “a lot”, then you need a model with at least 1,000 square inches of total cooking area. If you’re only looking for something to cook a few hot dogs here and there, then a smaller two-burner grill should do the trick.

Third, which accessories will you actually use? Between…

It’s not a surprise that color is a huge component of how we experience our environment, but are you taking that into account when you choose colors for your home? You may love a white room, but did you know you may be inadvertently making a room less cozy and too sterile with too much white? Or that green is the perfect choice for an entryway because it eases the transition from the outdoors?

Modern color psychology dates back to its origins in the early 19th century with a scholarly book known as Theory of Colors. Though there is some debate regarding the implications of certain shades, researchers, interior designers and marketing professionals seem to agree on these basic tenants:

Red: Symbolizes power and passion. It can be used to warm up…

A beach house can be pure pleasure to own and live in, and it is a life-long dream for most Floridians or transplants (people who move to Florida from other states or countries).  They make great second homes and investment properties for the family to enjoy or rent out weekly during high season.

Does your beach house need a little sprucing up? Or do you plan on buying one that you’d like to remodel? Here are 10 beach house decorating ideas that are fresh as a summer breeze.

1. Ditch the Theme

Your beach house should be a calming display of modern or classic relaxation, not an ornate Pottery Barn showroom. Instead of cluttering the walls and countertops with shells, think of subtle hints that nod to the beachy vibe, like including sandy or coral…

The old song and dance of moving to Florida for retirement is still moving and grooving but that doesn’t mean you have to take up golf or knitting. The Sunshine State has never been more attractive for business owners to start new or bring their already accomplished Co. and Inc down south.

A recent study by the University of Exeter in the UK found that people who live less than a mile from the coast are 22 percent less likely to have symptoms of a mental health disorder compared to those who lived much farther away.

Is it the calm swaying of the palms or the foo-foo drinks with the umbrellas, or perhaps the clear blue color of the water that helps improve your mood?

Researchers concluded that access to “blue spaces,” or spaces by the sea or water, may play a big role in a person’s mental health. While many studies have shown that getting out into nature, even for just 20 minutes, can improve your mood, this specific finding could make a big difference in helping a person’s well-being, as well as the coastal environments themselves.
