HAPPY HOME
Springtime Will Soon Be Here– Dream It. Do It.
It’s March and it’s time to start planning for all of those home enhancement projects
that you’ve been dreaming of. It’s been a long winter and spring is in the air. With
this comes that feeling of excitement as we dream of all the home design and decor
possibilitites to revitalize and refresh our home. No matter the size of the project–
big or small– this issue is filled with many ideas and local connections to help you
get started.
Our cover feature highlights west suburban Home Design Enthusisasts–each with
a unique story to share. From repurposing old finds into beautiful on-trend decor
pieces, and turning a plain and simple room into a gorgeous interior living space, to
building award-winning custom homes– the talent that these local women have is
truly so very impressive.
The 10 Trends in Home Design Enhancement will leave home owners feeling ex-
cited to update this Spring, as we unveil some of today’s hottest trends and where
to find them locally. Such a great feature! We also feature 7 Spectacular Totally
Unique Homes For Sale Right Now, and these homes will
amaze you–from a waterfront oasis to a “green” dream
home and everything in between. We hope you enjoy
this special expanded real estate feature.
Thank you for reading our Spring Home Enhnance-
ment issue! Our team always enjoys working with
the community on this issue each year. Remember
to stay connected, Glancer Magazine is daily, weekly
and monthly with a packed year ahead.
We love local! We know local!
