It’s undeniable that the vibe at Starbucks has contributed to its success with, from the music and lighting, to the interior design, decorating, and furnishings. It all creates a cohesive atmosphere that complements the products they sell, all of which reflects the personality they project as a company, which in turn resonates with the personalities of the people who hang there. Perhaps most reflective of our personality is our own living spaces, and unlike our work space, the home is where we do have some control in the …

 The Master Suite: One of the most romantic spaces in a home. So what makes a great Master Suite? Not to be coy, but aside from a few rules of thumb, the answer is simply “it depends.” Let’s start by being honest; unless you’re a single guy, it’s usually the women that call the shots when it comes to decisions about the home. If you ask any group of …

OK, so maybe not exactly that fast, but here’s a crash-course tutorial on how to properly clear a driveway from snow and ice.

 It’s really nerve-racking to see this hovering over your development project. One power outage, 3 rounds of storms, and multiple trips in and out of the storm shelter later, I head out to check my projects in the neighborhood, then a mile south down Penn to my commercial project, the Main Street Business District. This was what I found…

A builder's journey into scandalous rumor, paparazzi victimhood, and reckless rock-stardom...not.

It began with something innocent. They say the most scandalous encounters always do. I was spending my Saturday doing one of the things I love doing when the phone rang. I couldn’t answer because I was in the middle of a showing with some guests at the furnished model in Silverhawk. After a good conversation and some time answering questions, they left to go look at a few of the other available homes. I checked …
Oh, So You’re The Builder?
The things a builder learns while manning his own model home

I’m hearing more and more about how uncommon it is, which surprises me. And while I know I’m probably tipping off my competitors who frequent this blog (trust me, we know), it actually disappoints me. “Oh, so you’re the builder?!” Shoppers are shocked to be greeted by “the builder” when they walk into a model home. The actual builder. Yes, the real, live owner of the company. It seems like a no-brainer to me, especially when my name’s on the sign, that it’s not unreasonable for a visitor to expect …
So Long, 2007!

For all that 2007 brought forth in the housing industry, it sure seemed to blow by in a blur. Strangely, though, this last year had more challenges than I’ve seen in my building career. From a correction in the market, to aggressive immigration legislation, there was no shortage of struggle. Richard Mize’s article in last weekend’s Oklahoman sums up the year in Oklahoma real estate quite nicely, and it’s an eye-opening read to see all of the year’s issues compiled. 2008 …

I do my best to maintain a tight relationship with God. While membership does have its obvious privileges, including the occasional burning bush and moving a mountain here or there, unfortunately things don’t always happen on our terms or time-line even under His favor. God, with this weather lately, I sure could use that staff and whatever else you gave Moses to part that Red Sea… I’d hoped that soon after my previous post, I’d be able to follow up with this second …
Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Our little two year old has learned two new songs over the past several weeks: “Rain, Rain, Go Away!” and “It’s Raining, It’s Pouring…”. Her cheerful recitations of those songs are about the only thing that’s brought a smile to my face when it comes to the weather lately. The most common question I’m answering right now is “Does this rain slow you down at all in the building business?” At this point, that question seems about as rhetorical as “How ‘bout this weather?” …
