"Home Is Where the Heart Is." IT’S A COMMON PHRASE MEANING THAT OUR HOMES ARE A CENTRAL PLACE IN OUR LIVES—WHERE WE REST OUR HEADS, NOURISH OUR BODIES AND MAKE FOND MEMORIES WITH LOVED ONES. It’s the epicenter of our worlds, where we start and end each day, and where we keep our most prized possessions. This month, we bring you our Home issue, which is full of ideas for creating the best environment wherever you call home—whether it’s a cozy apartment, a spacious condo or a modest two-story house. Take a look at some of Smyrna Vinings unique architecture; we’re sure you’ll appreciate the various styles of homes our town offers. With springtime upon us, there’s no better time for a little DIY project! Refresh your interior with a few new home decor accents, or tackle one room in your home for a more dramatic update. We hope this issue inspires you to appreciate the place you call home—both your

GOOD TIMES
Good Times We prayed for years to be in Vinings, a neighborhood where we wanted to put our roots down and raise our family. When we moved into our home, I stared at the blank slate for weeks. To me, there was nothing more daunting than the task of decorating this huge, empty house. Taking one room at a time, I was able to achieve a warm and cozy home. Keeping it modern, stylish and minimal. I love cooking in our white kitchen and on the island of my dreams. We thank God for the blessing of our home, and we will steward it well for as long as we can. It is our hope that everyone who enters our home will feel the warmth and love from our family.

WOVEN + KNOTTED LIVING BOHO-CHIC WITH WOVEN TEXTURES AND MACRAMÉ Decorate your space with handmade textures such as the modern, maker revival of 1970s macramé and year-round tropical feel of wicker. MACRAMÉ Made through knotting instead of weaving, macramé can add a unique touch in many various ways. Houzz contributor Laura Gaskill suggests incorporating it as nursery decor, plant hangers, wall hangings and modern fiber arts. WICKER According to Houzz contributor Yanic Simard, “the best way to really embrace the luxury-cottage appeal of wicker and rattan is to combine different forms of the two in one space ... Look for other unexpected places to add a natural twist to your home with a new material woven into your palette.”

AGAINST THE GRAIN TIPS FOR DECORATING WITH NATURAL MATERIALS Houzz contributor Katie Treggiden offers many ways to incorporate natural materials and natural-state timber into your home, including using wood to cover one wall in a home for a pleasing accent wall; featuring your firewood as a striking, stacked display; and mixing different types of wood and different finishes in the same space. “A simple way to incorporate the wood trend is to expose structural wooden beams already present in your home,” Katie says. “Instead of painting them or boxing them in, leave them raw or give them a coat of wax to enrich the tones.” 14

BUNION DID YOU KNOW THAT BUNIONS ARE NOT CAUSED BY SHOE GEAR? • Bunions are mal position of the joint, not a bone that over grows. • They are caused by imbalance of pull that exists between the toes. • Factors that affect bunions are: pregnancy, weight and over pronation. • Shoes do not cause bunion but can make it worse. • Bunions should be corrected when appropriate in size or else pain and secondary changes occur. • Secondary changes cause arthritis. • Arthritis damages cartilages which then causes pain.
CORRECTING BUNIONS WILL LIMIT AND STOP PROGRESSION OF ARTHRITIS. • Wearing foot orthotics reduces stress to bone and joint. • Surgically correcting bunions realigns the joint and makes the joint feel better. • Minimally invasive and open procedures are options for surgical correction. • Choice of surgical correction is based on the severity of the bunion.

developed a successfully efficient back office so that our agents can have a balanced work and family life. We are not just interested in selling homes; we are committed to making it a better place to live through community involvement. HOW DO YOU MAKE SMYRNA A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE? We all live here and volunteer in some capacity in Smyrna. This past Christmas, we adopted 10 families that were in need. We volunteer at Path to Shine as well as Vision Rehabilitation Services. We worked with Must Ministries to make more than 600 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to give to children to ensure they would have meals while not in school. We are currently brainstorming ways to encourage our teachers. They do so much for our children; we just want them to feel appreciated. We also volunteer at our local churches in Smyrna.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO BASE YOUR BUSINESS IN SMYRNA? Smyrna is such a great place to live. It's got a wonderful small-town feel. It's close to downtown, the airport and has tons of walkability opportunities. The house we are sitting in is a stone's throw from Village Green, a beautiful park, restaurants and the City of Smyrna campus. We believe "development" is finally catching up with Smyrna.

TIPS FOR UPDATING YOUR KITCHEN
LOOKING TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN THIS YEAR? We’ve put together some tips and great finds to help create a new look
K itchen Refresh 30
Smyrna Vinings Lifestyle | March 2019
without breaking the bank. Painting your cabinets can provide a fresh feel with great savings. If painting is not an option, find a local designer or cabinet dealer that may have liquidation stock for much less than a custom kitchen. Adding a simple backsplash with tile or wallpaper is also a creative way to refresh your kitchen. We’ve switched out cabinet pulls and knobs, added some well-priced pendant lights and styled with various accessories to round out our new look.
