To make your 2024 dreams come true, start now!
December is the perfect time of year for forecasting our hearts and desires into the new year. And if you’re like us, our homes are completely at the center of our universe, and always make our resolution list.
Maybe it’s a project as small as updating your cabinetry hardware, or something as big as revamping your exterior with all-new doors and windows. Either way, planning, dreaming and executing a renovation or new build takes time, patience, and quite a bit of homework. So let’s get started!
One question we’re frequently asked is, “There are so many choices, how do I figure out what I really want?” We suggest looking at photos of finished products found in interior and exterior design magazines, on social media, and online in inspirational blogs and on product sites to identify your style. Even driving through neighborhoods and taking pictures can be enlightening!
Next, make a list with two columns, start with the list of the styles and types of looks you know you don’t like, aren’t your vibe, or are simply not something you’d want to have. Eliminating those hard-stop ‘no-thank-yous’ helps bring into focus what you really love and want to see and feel in your own home. In the second column, list the looks that jump out at you and make your heart beat faster. Those are the winners; be sure to print out photos and earmark your faves.

Once you have your list of yays and nays, share your intel, along with your visuals, with your designer, contractor, architect or your local friends right here at Johnson Brothers. We’ll help you get on the right path to completing your project in 2024!
We have much to be grateful for in 2023, and at the close of the year we get so excited for the prospects and opportunities a new year brings. So get that homework going, and bring us your projects. Together, let’s make our dreams a reality in 2024!
