Warmth and Wisdom
We spent time in January at the Dallas Market Center, where warm finishes and organic materials dominated showrooms (check out our monster slideshow for trends we spotted). The real takeaways, though, came from designers, who said that even $15 million projects often get lighting wrong. Their advice is worth reading.
Meanwhile, we published a conversation from our Women in Residential Construction Conference where leaders from New Orleans, Lahaina, and Los Angeles shared insights on rebuilding after disaster: leave the "competitor" mindset at the door, they said; success in restoring communities comes from pre-existing networks. Build those bridges with fellow builders, architects, and other housing professionals now, before you find out you really need them.
