This Friday, June 21st is National Take Your Dog to Work Day. To celebrate, we’re having a little photo contest!

Snap a photo of your dog at your workplace and submit it to our Facebook Page, or email it to admin@napolitanohomes.com by the end of the day on Friday. Someone and their pup will win a $50 PetSmart gift card!

*FINE PRINT*
Most creative/funniest photo is going to win. Workplace is preferred, since that’s the holiday and all, but we know not everyone has pet-friendly offices. Really we just want to sift through photos of cute dogs, so submit what you have!

Please join us for a Homebuyer Seminar on Thursday, May 23rd at 6pm. This event will be in Chesapeake, VA at our Jordan Hall new homes community.

Sajo Farm is a wonderful new homes community in Virginia Beach. The streets are lined with craftsman style homes and a variant of color schemes, and there are a multitude of different floorplans to choose from other than this Riley.

Last week, our Facebook Fans choose “Espresso” for Built by Facebook’s kitchen cabinets.

A lovely and rich color, Espresso now needs to be paired with an equally classy and modern granite color. This week, we are presenting four choices – Giallo Fiesta, Azul Platino, St. Cecelia, and Giallo Veneziano. Please click the image below to see the fine details of each granite sample!

• Giallo Fiesta from Brazil features cool whites and grays partnered with warm creams, yellows and golds.
• Azul Platino from Spain is a low variation gray and white slab granite.
• Santa Cecelia from Brazil is a beautiful beige background with burgundy, gold and dark gray veins.
• Giallo Veneziano from Brazil is a medium variation granite with a rich golden (almost pink) background and black and gray veins.

Each granite choice is relatively lighter in color and will go beautifully with Espresso cabinets. It’s up to you to pick the best one! Check out our Facebook Page to vote today!

This week’s Built by Facebook’s vote will narrow down the kitchen cabinet’s color. What will it be – light, medium, or dark? These three beautiful shades are from Armstrong Cabinets, which offer solid maple construction and standard reveal doors with double waterfall inner and outer sculptured edges.

It’s always good to know what colors of granite are available when choosing your cabinet color. We will be picking granite next week, but for now, take a look at the colors that will be available (click on image for a larger view):

So head over to our Facebook Page and let us know what you’d like to see in the Built by Facebook Kitchen!

The housing numbers are all heading in the right direction. Home prices up, foreclosures down and, perhaps the most important, consumer confidence in housing swelling. Even as sales of new and existing homes bounce up and down month to month, the desire to buy is growing. The percentage of Americans who say owning a home is an essential part of the American dream has hit a three-year high at 79 percent, and the percentage who say it is better to own than rent grew by four points to 69 percent, according to the CNBC All-America Economic Survey. Perhaps the biggest surprise in the survey is that despite a raging, record-high stock market, more Americans believe a home is a better long-term investment than stocks.

The gains can partially be attributed to a slowly recovering first-time homebuyer cohort. First-time buyers have been lagging the recovery until now, making up barely a third of home buyers in February, compared to the historical norm of 40 percent. First-time buyers accounted for 34.5 percent of home purchase transactions in February, according to a new survey from Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance. Even more encouraging is that traffic of these buyers is rising as well, hitting a four-year high on the same survey. [Read Full Article]

It’s time for the 5th vote in Built by Facebook! After deciding on a beautiful Waverly Transitional with a wonderful color scheme of tans and reds, we’re moving on to the interior of the house. Check out the voting on our Facebook Page!

This week we’re focusing on kitchen cabinets. There are 3 choices of cabinets from Armstrong Cabinets. All are maple construction, but they vary in style.

Option A: The Caruth
This cabinet comes standard in KempBridge. It has simple moldings, with a traditional look. “Whether formal or casual, Caruth will mirror your lifestyle. This smooth flat panel standard reveal door offers visually limitless options for your room décor and is living proof that beauty and practicality can coexist.”

Option B: The Trevant
Trevant is a Level 1 Upgrade. Clean, minimal lines for that contemporary look. “The alluring beauty of Trevant’s beautiful clear grain maple is masterfully fashioned with modern-day flair. The ever-popular Shaker style has a timeless look that will match any home’s décor. Its wide door frames make a bold, elegant statement.”

Option C: The Berkshire
Berkshire is a Level 2 cabinet Upgrade. It has a raised panel center for that traditional look. “For hundreds of years furniture makers and interior designers have prized the hallmark of maple. Berkshire offers the satin smooth, clear grain beauty of maple, giving a very sophisticated transitional styling advantage. Standard reveal doors with double waterfall inner and outer sculptured edges complement any decorating theme.”

Next week we’ll pick cabinet color!
