Wish Granted

Today I'm repeating part of a post from April where I featured Lily's Wish. Lily has osteosarcoma, a cancer affecting her bones, and was matched with Wayne Visbeen through theMake-A-Wish Foundation. Wayne sat with Lily back in January and designed her playhouse with her (she had a lot of ideas!) I just saw a photo of the finished house & thought you would like to see it too! Please continue to keep Lily & her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Horizon View

Check out this lovely, little cottage on Lake Michigan designed by Visbeen Associates and built by Bouwkamp Builders. And, here's the write up:

Designed to fit easily into compact spaces, Horizon View combines yesterday's cottage charm with today's open floor plan. A beadboard and gabled exterior leads into a modern interior, with a light-filled great room that encompasses the living room, kitchen and dining area. A handy master bedroom suite rounds out the first-floor offerings. Upstairs are two additional family or guest bedrooms as well as a full bath.

When you first visit www.visbeen.biz you may be mesmerized by the pretty pictures scrolling on your screen. They are pretty, but keep going! Click on Gallery and choose a category, like "Residential."

After that, choose another category, like "estates."

Once you've done that, scroll down to view all of the homes we've presented in that category. If one piques your interest, click on it (the Westchester, for example.)

And, once you're there, click on the first image (in this case a sketch) and then use the arrows at the bottom of the image to scroll thru the numerous images of that one house. Once you've made it through them all it will show you the next house in line.

Happy surfing!

Room Design

Room Design Attractive Home room design  While deciding the room layout, first account for all the furniture you want to place in it. Beds and nightstands are basic to a master bedroom. You may want to place a television with a cabinet at a viewing distance from the bed. Perhaps a love seat could be accommodated in the room.

Patio Design

Modern Patio Design and Pictures Gallery Well if you are an artist and want to turn your patio into an art area, then this is the idea for you. You can indulge in your favorite art like sketching, painting or even sculpting. Make sure your patio has a shelter to protect the area from extreme weather conditions. Adorn the walls with your favorite paintings. You can add multistoried racks to hold your paintbrushes, thinners, colors, oils, pencils, sculpting tools or any other equipment required for your art work. 

Make sure there is enough seating space for people who would just like to enjoy sitting in this artistic haven and watch you work.
