As we venture into new Intown Atlanta neighborhoods, Level Craft Construction promises clients that each home is constructed with dependable materials built to last a lifetime. Thanks to our partnership with Construction Resources, our team furnishes each new construction or renovated home with stylish appointments to give each project a one-of-a-kind finish.
Level Craft Construction is slowly changing the face of Intown Atlanta, one construction at a time. Our team knows that a beautiful home is nothing without a strong foundation to support it. With dependable vendor partnerships, our team can build stunning homes with lasting foundations with the dependable, quality products offered by vendors such as Randall Brothers.
What would Level Craft Construction homes be without brilliant light fixtures to brighten the space? Relationships with vendors such as Masterpiece Lighting allow Level Craft Construction to produce quality homes with stylish design features to reflect some of today’s hottest trends. Level Craft Construction homes feature many Masterpiece Lighting fixtures that continually impress homeowners and viewers.
From rich blue pops of color in the kitchen to sleek white storage in the bathroom, cabinetry is one of the most underrated yet important aspects of the home. Level Craft Construction prides itself on building beautiful, high-quality homes and with vendors such as Bell Cabinetry, this is easier than ever. Some of our favorite finished Level Craft renovations and custom builds showcase the brilliant work and broad design options offered by Bell Cabinetry.
Okay, you've had an entire month to settle into 2018. So, how are those New Year's Resolutions coming along? Are you keeping them? It's hard to do, we know - life gets in the way. But don't give up on your hopes and dreams just yet.
Do, however, fight off the guilt you feel when your eye lands on that overwhelming pile of clothing in the corner (that would be easier to donate than launder at this point), or when you have the slight inclination to give names to the dust balls hiding under your bed (they're looking kind of cute!), or when you'd simply rather take a nap than do anything productive. That's right, fight it off, be kind to yourself... you can do this.
Level Craft thinks the key to making big improvements in your life is to start with little changes in your immediate environment. I don't know about you, but when our houses are clean and organized we feel like we can take on the world! Our homes should be happy places that reflect our inner beings and provide respite after a long day, don't you agree? If so, read on. Level Craft has researched some proven ways to bring calm and positivity to your most scared place.

Whether you're into the Chinese harmonizing philosophy of Feng Shui, or the Danish celebration of the simple way of life called hygge, pronounced "hue-guh," a good way to start your path to happiness is to clean house! And we don't mean literally, so put the cleaning supplies away for now - we mean get rid of that bad energy.
Declutter.
Remove everything from your house that is annoying or emotionally overwhelming. Rearrange your furniture to create an inviting and harmonious space. Of course, this sounds like a daunting task, but start small. We suggest beginning in the bathroom or bedroom. Work your way through each room of your home. Condense. Simplify. Spotlight items and materials you love. We adore these jars of healing herbs and spices in our neighbor's window.

Go through your home and revisit your possessions, form a new relationship with them. See your belongings in a new and different light. Give them a new life! Move them. Dust them off. Create vignettes around your home using materials, textures, and colors that you love. Reconnect with nature by bringing the outside in. We love the pine cones in this vignette created by our friend and designer. Bring life into your home by incorporating items you love. It will bring you calm and comfort.
Finally, we encourage you to set goals. We're guessing your New Year's resolutions had something to do with being more organized, more active, and more involved, right? Right. We all want the same things. Self-improvement is difficult. It requires, time, consideration, reflection, determination and quite often, sacrifice. What can you do around the house to help you stay focused on your long-term goals?
So, there you have it.
Simplify your life, reconnect with your surroundings, and stay focused on your future. You might not have the financial resources to build your own home right now, or to start the remodel of your dreams, but you can certainly take action, today, to improve your living spaces. In doing so, you'll be inviting calm into your home and creating beauty around you. It's what we try to accomplish with every project.
Now, get to work!
Best,
Virginia + Debbie
