Richmond New Home Builder Designs Kitchens that Work

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

Beautiful kitchen by Richmond new home builder

Back to school sales mark the beginning of the dog days of summer. Preparations for the last minute vacations are squeezed into schedules with the notion that school is coming. The lunch boxes are peeking out of storage reminding us of the inevitable routine awaiting us – if only the kitchen were functional enough to make the routine easy. Lunch box morning routine, juice box afternoon routine or even pre-dawn coffee routines can be interrupted by a dysfunctional kitchen.

In each new home built by Boone Homes, a Richmond new home builder, the kitchen is designed with luxurious beauty and installed with superior craftsmanship. The beauty and craftsmanship, however, do not interfere with the function. Each major work station is designed to fit well within what the industry calls the “work triangle.” This fit enables the kitchen work spaces to flow with ease away from intersecting traffic and early morning commotion. Specialty roll outs, recyclers, garbage collectors and organizational devices maximize efficiency in daily preparation, assembly and distribution of lunch boxes, meals or simply morning coffee.

Stair Reduction in Richmond No Maintenance Homes

Friday, August 24th, 2012
first-floor living in Richmond no maintenance homes

Richmond no maintenance homes feature a stair-free lifestyle.

Stairs. Sometimes it appears a staircase will never end. Never is a long time to spend on a staircase. For some of us, our knees begin to wobble at the sight of stairs. Fear sums up your experience with stairs. Fear of falling. Fear of climbing.  Fear inside your own home is not a good sign. If you suffer from the fear of stairs,  then I have good news.  Boone Homes has designed entire neighborhoods around a concept intended to reduce steps. These communities of Richmond no maintenance homes are designed for a one-level lifestyle with a second floor for the occasional guest, family visit or holiday event. All the main desirable features of a home are located on the first floor. Spaces like a living room, dining room, study, owner’s suite, bathrooms, laundry rooms and spaces that can be formal or informal in nature. (more…)

Lazy Days on the Low Maintenance Patio of your Luxury Homes in Richmond

Enjoy the patio of your luxury homes in Richmond

Lazy summer days are best enjoyed on the low maintenance patio of your luxury homes in Richmond with an iPad, Kindle or other wireless reading devise. A gentle breeze can manipulate the senses as you read “The Count of Monte Cristo” and transform your yard into a high stakes duel with the ocean’s salt wind in your face. Sip a tangy fruit smoothie and catch up on the latest wireless version of “Food and Family” and find the best dessert recipe for the evening’s cookout. A patio is certainly the best place to spend lazy summer days – as long as you don’t have to consistently spend time maintaining it. You have more to do than spend time every year maintaining a wooden deck. Life is too short for unneeded maintenance. (more…)

Relaxing in Your Richmond Maintenance Free Homes

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012
Richmond no maintenance home loft

Loft in a Richmond maintenance free home.

Relaxation is exactly what you need to unwind from an intense work day, but where can you go to put up your feet and forget the troubles of your day? It’s a big question. What you may need is a Richmond maintenance free home that has an additional room to give you that extra solitude craved by your soul. This need was evident when Boone Homes’ award-winning architect designed this no maintenance home, the Moorcroft, with a loft.  Shrouded with solitude, a loft cleanses all the intensity from the day and washes stress into the past with the fading light of day. It’s the perfect place to relax and read a book.  Everyone needs a place of solitude to clean worries from each day.

A loft plays an important role in new homes built in Richmond. A role that is not so much built on architecture as it is based on a holistic view of internal solitude and restoration. Located on the second floor of a new home, a loft can ease, restore and renew. During construction, a loft can be designed and built to include built-in book cases, television connection, computer center or a second floor location where the family, or the individual, can connect or decompress.

Richmond New Homes Can Have Rooms with Dual Purposes

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012
living room converted to home office

Richmond new homes with dual purpose living spaces

Living rooms, like parlors, vestibules, and cupolas are a fading tradition in the architecture or Richmond new homes. Many builders no longer build new homes with living rooms, though if they did, most homeowners wouldn’t know how to garner the best possible use of the space. With little other than tradition to rely upon, living rooms have turned into museums, further leading them down the path to obsolescence.

However, all that can change with a little creativity. Instead of a boring furniture museum, why not creatively decorate the space into a multipurpose room that can be used as a home office? The conversion of the space from formal entertainment to include a place for business is not difficult. Merely a well-placed piece of furniture will transform the room. (more…)
