GOLD NOTES

NUGGETS FROM THE WORLD OF RESIDENTIAL DESIGN
Experts Share New Outdoor Kitchen Ideas And Trends

I recently put an offer in on a house for sale in my neighborhood. One of its strong attractions was its spacious fenced back yard; there’s a lot I can do with that space, I thought to myself. Alas, I was outbid, but it still rekindled my passion for great outdoor spaces. Maybe you share it? If so, you’re definitely going to enjoy this week’s post and related Clubhouse conversation. Here’s a link to the eye candy-rich post. And here’s a link to the Clubhouse convo, which takes place from 1 to 2 pm PST, 4 to 5 pm EST and all the related time zones. Hope to “see” you there!

BONUS NUGGET

I first wrote this post four years ago, after a series of mass shootings that took place across the country. It feels like we’re in that zone again, so I’m sharing this Food For Thought post on how your home can help you reduce anxiety in a chaotic world. If you need mental health support, please seek it out. There are resources available!
