How to Prep for Your July 4th Party

Putting together a July 4th celebration can seem chaotic, but it really should be a fun time! Plan your most entertaining and creative party yet with these simple steps:

Create a Menu
Surprise your guests with a spread of mouth-watering entrees, thirst-quenching drinks, and delicious desserts. Grilled Pork Tenderloin with corn on the cob makes a great alternative to traditional burgers and is sure to set your party apart from the rest! You can also try an American flag printed cake to show your patriotism and get your guests in the July 4th spirit! It may look like a white cake on the outside, but guests will love the red white and blue print when you cut into the cake.

Get Your Patio Ready
Step one to getting your patio ready: power wash it. We recommend presoaking the surface with a detergent to cut down on wash time. Secondly, don’t forget to wipe down your tables with a natural, chemical-free, DIY cleaner. Before you’re done, remember to water your plants to keep them looking fresh for the special event!

Decorate
It’s Independence Day, so don’t be afraid to go a little overboard with the stars and stripes. This means adding mini flags to your flower pots, placing down table runners, hanging up garland, and setting out red white and blue plates.

Residents at Copper Square benefit from maintenance free living to allow more time to decorate to their heart’s content for the holiday. Our Models, Design Studio & Sales Center are now open. Call today at (203)778-4800 or visit our website for more information.

Summer Colors for Your Home

If we could put summer decor into one word, it would be “colorful”. Summer is the perfect time to make a splash in your home using bright and cheery hues. That being said, here are the top five interior design colors in this year’s forecast:

Cobalt Blue
Blue reminds us of the ocean. It can make a statement in any home simply by adding a new lampshade, area rug, or pillow cover. It’s the little things that make such a statement without going overboard.

Exotic Orange
Energize your space by adding punches of vibrant orange in your home. Switch up your wallpaper for an orange geo pattern, create an assortment of Asiatic lilies, or go big by purchasing a new sofa or cushion cover.

Sunny Yellow
Nothing says, “Hello, Summer” more than the color yellow. Yellow can brighten your room and your boost your mood. It resembles the sun and pairs great with navy, gray, and white.

Crisp White
Breathe new life into your home by making everything white. That fresh and clean monochromatic look is classic but looks especially great when the natural sunlight shines into your home. Try this design in your bedroom or in the master bath.

Warm Gray
Gray with yellow undertones can make your space feel neutral without feeling too basic. It goes well with metallics, wood textures, as well as pastels.

4 Things to Do Before Buying a Home

So you’ve decided to invest in a home, but you’re not sure where to start. Buying a home can be a long and tedious process, so making a to-do list will help ease your stress. Here are four tips to get you started:

1. Make a priorities list
First things first - make a list of what’s important to you (location, budget, type of home). If you’re moving in with someone for the first time, it’s important to compromise what’s important - what are you willing to give up and what are you not.

2.Get pre-approved
Be sure to contact the bank for pre-approval. The bank with request all the information that’s needed so you can know how much mortgage you are qualified for. IT might be one of the more mundane things to do before buying a home, but it’s one of the most essential!

3. Search together
Search for houses and neighborhoods to get a feel for where you most desire to live. To gain a better understanding, meet with a realtor. They have several resources and connections that can educate you better on the market and tell you step by step how to go about the buying process.

4. Look for availability
