The Publisher
In today’s economy, many are choosing to invest in their current home and modernize the key living areas, if not the whole house. Typically, kitchen and bathrooms are the first rooms considered for a home makeover. Our editorial team has taken the steps to provide our readers with suggestions on new items from countertops to sinks to bathtubs. We show you how to change the personality of a room with cabinet hardware and how to further give your existing home a different look with a new wall surface in the great room, hallway or bedroom.
Quite often a hilltop lot follows the contour of the topography and the lot shape is irregular. Placing your pool, spa and patio area can be challenging. We discuss ideas to maximize the space for your ultimate backyard enjoyment.
In the freeze we experienced at the beginning of the year, many local palms trees froze and died, but not all. Learn that palm trees are still a great landscaping element in our region. We help you understand which ones are most adaptable to the local climate variations.
I would like to take a moment to thank Joe Burgess, who has adeptly performed as our Managing Editor for several years. Joe has moved to East Texas to begin a new chapter in his life. Joe grew up in East Texas and recently partnered with his grade school girlfriend. Joe will continue to be a significant part of Ventanas as a freelance writer and proofreader. We all wish Joe the best and a sincere “thank you” for his unrelenting commitment to the development and success of Ventanas magazine. /// |
