The NAHB (National Association of Home Builders) has shared with us the top trends in home building for 2012. Have you seen these “pocket offices” that are trending right now? A small office space usually off the kitchen or family room. They are replacing the more traditional home office.
One trend that may be missed is having multiple roof lines – it gives the outside of the house an interesting look to have a varied roof line but the new trend for varied materials on the exterior can also be fun. Add a stone porch to a wood facade to add some texture to the exterior!
May 5 and 6 bring us to the annual East Boulder County Artist Studio Tour 2012. This year’s tour features 52 local East Boulder County artists.
Media categories include oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, fused glass, sculpture, ceramics, cast paper, bookmaking, art quilting, woodcarving, photography, collage and jewelry making.

Did you know that you can clean most of your home using just a few common items like baking soda and white vinegar? Use a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water for a good disinfectant and make a paste of baking soda and water for those areas that need a good scrubbing. Best of all? Baking soda won’t scratch surfaces! Use these and other easy tips for your spring cleaning. 
Happy earth day from Janet Leap and the whole team at RE/MAX! 
Their website says it best: “Communikey is a Boulder-based interdisciplinary organization dedicated to social, cultural and ecological innovation through creative process. We facilitate forward thinking cultural experiences that emphasize the intersection of sound, design and technology in artistic forms that are under-represented. Communikey forges a creative exchange across cultures, backgrounds, and mediums while fostering the development of the local arts community.”
I know I’m intrigued at what all that means! Come on out April 25-29, 2012 to check it out for yourself.
