I like to call it the “does it improve my quality of life” factor. If it’s fun, or a cool gizmo, I don’t underestimate its value, I simply decide that I don’t need it in my life. I wanted to show you some of the newer options in home automation that help you, add comfort, saves money, or offers peace to your life. A few highlights:

5 Ways to Connect your Indoor to Outdoor Living
Overall people are more positive when they can spend time in nature, and home trends indicate that people want to connect their indoor and outdoor lives. In recent years, new homes are built with this desired way of living in mind. However, if you are in an older home, you may be considering ways to tie the areas together – to make the transition transparent and accessible. Consider these questions: How much space do you have to work with, and what do you and your family enjoy? For example, if you love the idea of lounging in a hammock on a sunny Sunday afternoon, consider how you could add one to your outdoor space.

Create a Coffee or Tea Bar
In your home, having a designated area for all your routines is the most efficient way to use your space. Regardless of the amount of space you have you can have a coffee or tea bar in your home. The key is to place all the items together required for the hot drink production. This week, I wanted to offer a few ideas on how you can add a hot drink station to your home.
Transform an area of your countertop to be the station. Contain the drink-making things using a tray, wood or wire baskets, and any other supplies necessary to make the drink of choice. If you have limited countertop space, can you add a shelf under your cabinet to hold or hang mugs? Think vertically for storage by hanging a rack with hooks, or creating a unique mug holder, such as this one from A Beautiful Mess.
Use all the space you have wisely! This kitchen corner nook was transformed into a complete coffee bar for a beautiful result:
If you have space, turn a breakfast dining area into the hot drinks area:
If you have no space, use a cart to corral all of the necessary items:
Transform, or purchase, a piece of furniture you own into a hot drinks area. Wayfair offers many affordable tables with wheels, or you can add wheels to an existing piece of furniture to make it movable, click here for DIY instructions. Also, if you have a kitchen island and want to extend that space, consider adding a small cart or table at one of the ends to serve as your hot drink station.
Consider creating a dual space, bar area at night and hot drink station in the morning:
If you are thinking about a kitchen remodel, add the hot drink station into your design:
I hope these ideas have inspired you to create a hot drink station in your home, if you need help re-imagining your space, give me a call

Holiday Family Traditions
There are a few holiday traditions that we hold dear in the Correale household. As a parent of four kids, I saved all of their hand-made ornaments and holiday items and pulled them out each holiday to decorate the Christmas tree. Even though all my children are grown, they love to look at the crafts and remember each one of them.
