Springs Preserve

When the weather starts to cool it is a perfect time to start doing some landscape planning.  In Vegas, the summer months wreak havoc on the yard.  I know I lose a few plants every year (well, that is because I insist on trying out plants that I know may not work!).

Always on the look out for different ideas and also basically nosy about these sorts of things, I have found a few videos on YouTube that I thought would interest you.

Enjoy reading this blog? Follow me on Twitter, Facebook (Southern Nevada Realty), subscribe via email/rss feed (see side bar), or leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.  If you are ready to start your Las Vegas home search then contact me today.

A great place to get ideas is the Las Vegas Springs Preserve.  This is a great place to walk around and enjoy the great weather we are having.




Here is a video from Green Guru Landscaping that shows 3D plans and the actual finished product.  I love seeing these ideas.

What Does Your House Want To Be When It Grows Up

What Do You Want Your House to Be When It Grows Up?

In an effort to blog on a regular basis I decided to join NaBlogPoMo. Each day there is a writing prompt, today's is:

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?*

However, since this is a real estate blog I will re-phrase it to something more relevant:

What do you want your house to be when it grows up?

Hmmm, some of you are saying. What???

Unless you had your home custom built there are always things about it that don't quite fit your idea of the perfect home. Maybe, it is that awkward kitchen or the non-existent back yard landscaping. Still, there was something about the home that grabbed you enough to purchase it. Maybe you had a vision of what the kitchen or backyard could look like if you put some time, effort, and money into it.

What was that vision? Have you done anything with it? I know lately I have been on a home improvement kick. I have been fixing things, adding things, and generally envisioning what it is I want my home to look like when it grows up.

Here are a few resources I turn to when looking for home improvement and design ideas and/or assistance:

Ehow - great resource for videos and tutorials

Home Depot - project guides, videos, and workshops

Lowes Creative Ideas - again videos and project guides

Apartment Therapy - I love this site. Tends to focus on design for small spaces.

Flickr - I could spend days looking at all of the house pictures posted on this site. You can search by color, style, or anything your heart desires.

I wish I could list all of my favorite sites, but there is only so much room.

Have fun and if you have decide you need a Las Vegas home to nurture into adulthood contact me.

Home Office Color - SPA

I visited a client's home last week and saw all of the personal touches they have been making to their home since they moved in a few weeks ago. Everything looked wonderful and it is nice to see a place transformed from a vacant shell to a home.

As usual, this sparked my own home improvement projects. Especially in my home office. It was a flurry of activity over the weekend - moving furniture, organizing, throwing out or giving away items, and cleaning up. In addition, I decided it was time to paint. I wanted something bright and energizing. I went with Spa, part of the Connecting Spaces palette by Olympic Paint.

I love my small makeover. Paint makes a huge difference to a room. Pick a color that feels good to you and go for it. You can always paint over it if you don't like it.

Have a fantastic day!
