    DETERMINING HOUSE STYLE

    HOUSE or HOME

    A house is the most valuable asset that most people will own in life. It’s the symbol of how successful one is and a statement of their values. But, a house is just that, if it doesn’t showcase your personal taste.

    home \ˈhōm\ noun

    one's place of residence: the social unit formed by a family living together:

    a familiar or usual setting : congenial environment; also: the focus of one's domestic attention: a place of origin: at home: relaxed and comfortable: at ease: in harmony with the surroundings. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/house

    HOME EVALUATION

    Your home is likely the largest investment you will ever make.

    With careful placement of color, it can reach its full potential.

    The process of making a statement, creating a home you will enjoy, and creating a positive first impression is the goal.

    What does your home currently say about you and those who live in it?

    Is it sending the message you want it to?

    Does it say the people who live in this house are…

    Organized

    Modern

    Forward-thinking

    Caring individuals

    Respectful of others, themselves and their environment

    OR

    Careless

    Hap-hazard

    Uncaring of those around
