HOMEWORKS of Alabama are builders of original, masterful, homes in Auburn, like the one I viewed at 1558 Club Creek Court. This particular home, a blue-ribbon winner, awarded by the East Alabama Women’s Council of REALTORS, is on tour for you this Saturday and Sunday, June 12th & 13th.

News hitting close to home presents us with recent flooding in Tennessee, foreclosures flooding the housing market, and now, a frightening, flightless fate for birds in the Gulf.  These stories can leave our outlook with a deficit of joy. Beauty offers a contrast of images for a balanced perspective, sometimes catching us by surprise.

This week's tour of the beautiful Club Creek Court home at Yarbrough Farms was, for me, an unexpected gift of vision. This one-of-a-kind, semi-custom masterpiece was built by HOMEWORKS of Alabama (Allan and Lisa Campfield). It is one of those luscious illustrations of beauty, harmony, balance, joy, precision and compassion. The design incorporates principles of music, art and architecture. Like a stroll through a forest or a museum, it brought a connection to my heart. Uplifting as a kite for a string of sadness, an impression of beauty can inspire a surge of clarity or a call to action. It can fortify the connections we already have or multiply our gratitude for the new day.

Like ebb and flow, warp and weave, yin and yang, the range of gifts and assigned elements are perfectly complemented. Allan and his two sons, Joshua and Brandon, manage the construction process, while Lisa, a design professional, selects the palettes for colors, lighting, flooring, placement and poise. The feeling is indulgent and inviting, simple lines and forms that integrate the outdoors with the interior.

A bite of beauty is nourishment for the heart.  A vision of beauty can assist us in the imagination needed for solutions…restoration, results, rekindling of relationships, and remembering what matters, like HOME...

Hi Mara, Gorgeous presentation of a gorgeous home!  You did a wonderful job on the brochure and photos, and you're right - art and beauty do refresh us and give us a new perpective.  I can see how this property could  do  just that.

Debe - Thank you! 

Mary - I seem to retain a heart and longing for the beauty of the north with its mountains (which is why I love all your blog pics :-). Discovering the setting and unique designing of this home on "The Plains" of Auburn was so refreshing to me. 

Sheldon - Thank you! This special home did feel like a resort in some ways. A perfect space to enjoy family and recharge every day after work.

Great presentation of a fantastic property!  Can you share with us what software you used to create the brochure?  I have a new listing coming on the market next week that I want to treat extra special and I'm really inspired by what you've done.....

Michael - thank you :-)  I just play around in Microsof WORD (now 2007) to do my flyers. I would guess that Publisher has better applications, but I haven't used that program. Feel free to phone me, and I'll be happy to share whatever I can.

Russell - Inspiration goes a long way, doesn't it?! Thank you, Russell :-)

Tom - that's so true... even seeing some of the updating done on older homes is inspiring...a little color, texture & inspiration can go a long way.
