Buying a new home brings out the designer in you!
Posted by admin | July 12th, 2010
Hi - Seb here (CEO of New Home Alert). One of the most exciting things about buying a new home is being able to personalize the core design elements of your home: the exterior finishes, the kitchen cabinets, the floors, the bathroom tiles, and so on. With all of the TV shows and magazines dedicated to interior design, most of us are inspired to become amateur interior designers, right?
My business partner Gen is building a custom home in Ottawa, and she’s in the process of choosing the finishes with her home builder. Yesterday at our business meeting, we spent the first hour exchanging ideas on the design of her new kitchen. We probably could have spent another 3 hours on the topic, going through the dozens of magazines she had on kitchen design ideas, but duty called!
Every future home buyer will have to go through this process of choosing finishes, and we know the list of finishes and options can be quite daunting. Because of this, New Home Alert is very excited to introduce a web video series dedicated to educating future home buyers with tips and advice for choosing the finishes of your new home. Our interior design series will feature a young and dynamic Ottawa company - Custom Home Interiors (CHI), who has in fact become a resource of choice for Gen in her new home buying process.
Custom Home Interiors is the ideal resource to help us create these web episodes, since they already work with Ottawa home builders and understand the new home buying process. You can look for episodes to start airing soon on www.newhomealert.ca, or follow us on Twitter or join our Facebook Fan page, where our episodes will be posted as we release them.
I look forward to presenting to all of you the great team at Custom Home Interiors and to get your feedback and suggestions on topics you’d like us to explore.
Oh, and one last thing. I hope this blog posting inspires Gen to start blogging about her own home building experience… What are you waiting for Gen?
