Today, many people feel powerless. As you very well know that is just not true. You always have the power to make choices and do something about any given situation. Given the state, national and world political stage we are reminded to take steps in our own individual lives, as well as, in our surrounding community. That is where we can begin to affect change. With that in mind we want to introduce you to the Community Bill of Rights and the Asheville Community Roots Organization by inviting you to the Bill of Rights  kick-off party.

The Community Bill of Rights is a City ordinance that will: Enable citizens to prohibit the activities of corporations that pollute our water, air and soil. Allow us to make ongoing decisions about where we live, without interference from the State and accelerate the equitable transition to 100% renewable energy.Make a difference in your life right here. If over 200 other communities in the US have done it, including the state of New Hampshire, we can, too! We hope to see you out there. Cheers!

The HAPPENING is a day long event at the historic campus of Black Mountain College, known as Lake Eden – 15 minutes from Asheville. It is part art event, part fundraiser and part community instigator serving as platform for contemporary artists to share their response to the vital legacy of Black Mountain College by returning to its original site in the present day.

CALL FOR ENTRIES | Yeah! It is that time of year again. Submissions are open for the 2018 George Matsumoto Prize by NC Modernist Houses organization. Every year we have some great award-winning homes in the Asheville area. Here are two from last year and here are past articles on the event if you aren't familiar.

The Prize is open to anyone with primary design responsibility for a completely built, from-the-ground-up, single-family Modernist house of at least 800 heated sf with a CO on or after January 1, 2013. The house must be in North Carolina; the designer/architect can be from anywhere.

As real estate agents with a visual sense we are always being asked about what to do in preparing a home for sale. While we do love light and neutral paint choices we are, also, big fans of grays and well curated pops of color for accenting key walls. 

The below recent article on Houzz seems to capture a clean aesthetic while giving it some personality. Check it out. Cheers!

Banded by rows of glass the home is light, bright and flowing with natural wood ceilings throughout and appears to be a vintage Deck House. The master is on the main level with a spa bath layout. Lower level has a living space with fireplace, 2 bedrooms plus two bonus rooms currently used as workshops. The home offers someone an opportunity to further modernize to taste.
