Inviting Home Decor For Fall

If you are considering redecorating your home or feel like your home needs a facelift, you may be unsure of the best place to start. Fall is considered the “best time” to redecorate your home but what makes this time of year the best time to decorate? Weston Dean Custom Homes, a premier New Braunfels custom homebuilder, shares why fall is the ideal time to get creative with your home décor.

First, fall makes a great time of year to decorate because lets face it- who doesn’t like the atmosphere of fall? When the heat of summer finally subsides and the weather begins to get to a comfortable cold, most people feel the urge to go pick the perfect pumpkin and fill their home with all of the wonderful aromas of fall, like a freshly baked pie.

People also like fall because it is all about comfort. Fall goes hand in hand with coziness and it is the perfect time of year to gather around the fire with your family. Who doesn’t want to create great memories with their family cozied up to a fire with hot chocolate, warm blankets and a movie? Packing away your summer clothes for cozy sweaters is a welcomed change and staying in is a nice change to relax after the craziness and traveling summer can bring.

Fall is also the perfect time to warm up your home to make everyone feel welcome as you have friends and family over for holiday meals and parties. From Thanksgiving to New Years, chances are your home might see a lot of guests come through it. If this is the case, make them feel at home with a cozy fall atmosphere with soothing candles and smells of fall. Making your home feel warm is also good for having a special dinner at home with your spouse as well.

What makes decorating your home during the fall even better is that it can be done on a budget. You don’t need to break the bank in order to create a warm and inviting atmosphere of fall in your home. From pinecones, leaves, nuts, and sticks from your backyard, a lot of fall accessories can be found in and around your home already. The best part of fall decorating is that a lot of it can be free! Also, the closer you get to Thanksgiving the more you’ll find stores having huge sales on their fall décor. An even better reason to brighten your home up this fall with new home décor accents.

Relocating to San Antonio

If you find yourself looking for New Braunfels custom builders because you’re relocating to the San Antonio area, it can be a fun chapter and an exciting change in your life. Everything is new when you are in a new city and it is fun to find your new “favorites” in town. However, moving somewhere new can also bring up many challenges you’ll have to face. Most commonly, a place of employment is a huge stressor if you don’t already have employment lined up for you once you move. Weston Dean Custom Homes shares some tips to help you find your ideal place of employment once you make your move.

First, before you start working it is a good idea to get to know your surroundings. Find out where to buy your groceries, spots of interest and every day places you’re used to from back home that you can have in your new location like gyms, malls, a local pharmacy and so on.

Once you have a decent hold on your new location, get salary surveys so you know where to begin your search. It is important to figure out what your skills and experience can command compensation in. You can easily access graphs that compare what a job title pays in your new location at careeronestop.org. Then, hone that data in sites like salary.com, payscale.com, glassdoor.com and other similar websites.

Before you redo your resume, check sites like Monster, CareerBuilder and Linkedin’s main jobs menu and check the results of full text job descriptions so that you can carefully identify the sought-after skills and achievements that can go into your resume.

Next, find job fairs in your area through a Google search. This will be a helpful avenue to get the ball rolling since these companies are looking to hire- and you’re already in need of a job.

Lastly, be sure to network in your new community and see if you can get job connections through people you know or get to know. You can even use LinkedIn as a tool to get connections for jobs you’re interested in.

Before you know it, you’ll have a wonderful new home and new career to begin the next chapter of your life in. Let Weston Dean Custom Homes play a part in making that dream, a reality for you.
