One of our real estate clients almost gave us a heart attack when we showed up to take our marketing photos of their home for sale.  They actually got CORPS permission for cutting this tree as the actual tree was a couple feet from the line.  The above link will give information about the dos and donts when you own rela estate on Lake Lanier in Gainesville or Flowery Branch or other areas surrounding the CORPS of Engineers lake.

An Introduction to Your Home…

Posted on November 18, 2013 by Jill Abernathy with the Abernathy Cochran Group http://abernathycochran.com/blog/index.php/an-introduction-to-your-home/    

“An entryway is an introduction.

Like the opening pages of a book, it leads us in and welcomes us to the world inside.”

~Rose Tarlow~

This quote was found on my favorite blog, for the love of a house.  An entryway or a foyer is an introduction to your home, I honestly believe that to be true.  When the front door opens, you only get one chance at a first impression.  Make it good!  Naturally, the entryway varies in size and design from house to house.  Keep it neat and inviting!  You can use a table or a chair, use art or mirrors, and use lamps or eye catching entryway/foyer lights to make your introduction.  I’ve added some great entryway photos below.  For more ideas, use helpful sites like Pinterest and Houzz.
