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!

As we all navigate the “new normal”, future homeowners have started to navigate their own priority lists as they search for their new home. Here are three ways that sellers can attract the “new normal” homebuyer: 

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.

Reimagined Layout

For most of the Aughts, an open, multi-use, layout has been the desired floorplan, however, builders are

According to Men’s Health Magazine, Stuart ranks No. 6 on their list of 58 Charming Towns You Haven’t Heard of but Should Visit ASAP and we couldn’t agree more. This Martin County gem sports a variety of reasons why it should be on your list of places to visit this year!

For a community with a population just under 16,000, the pretty little coastal town of Stuart has made quite a name for itself. 

Named the 2008 "Most Beautiful City in America" Stuart came out on top after being evaluated based on the categories of Tidiness, Environmental Awareness, Community Involvement, Heritage Preservation, Urban Forestry, Landscaped Areas, Floral Displays and Turf & Groundcovers.

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.
