THE CONCEPT OF HOME IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE. For some, home is where the family is. It’s the place where weekends were— or still are—filled with baby snuggles, bedtime stories and Saturday morning cartoons. The place where the smell of bacon and pancakes fills the air on Sunday mornings, "do your homework before you go outside" is a daily mantra and unsnoozable slobbery dog kisses take the place of your morning alarm.

For others, home is where the rest is. It’s the place where, after a long day, they go to relax. Where they spend meaningful time with their significant other, enjoy home-cooked meals and settle in on a comfy couch to catch up on the week's latest guilty pleasure TV shows.

For some, home is where the work is. It's where they build their dreams, where they start their businesses and where they work day in and day out for success.

And for us here at Vinings Lifestyle, home is where the heart is—it's where we get to share meaningful stories with all of you.

Whatever your home may be, we hope you find a piece of it here in this month's issue.

Orthodontic Treatment Expires 6/1/2018. For new patients only.

Adults and Orthodontics!

Braces aren’t just for kids and teens. Whether you’re an adult who needed braces as a kid and never got them, or you’ve developed misaligned teeth as an adult, braces can improve your smile and oral health. They can straighten crooked teeth, align your bite, and make it easier to keep teeth clean. Adults now account for more than onequarter of all of BE Orthodontics patients!

Every smile is important. A smile is among one of the first things that people notice about you. Your smile can have a positive impact on your social life as well as your self-esteem. Straight teeth can also have a positive effect on your overall oral health as it’s difficult to maintain adequate oral hygiene with misaligned teeth. Sure, you may have to wear wires

on your teeth for a few months; but the effort will totally be worth it.

Teeth can shift at any age even if they were straight before. Things such as injury can cause your teeth to shift even if they were straight before.

Sometimes, teeth can shift naturally for no apparent reason and you may find that even though you’ve had braces before you may need them again. Teeth can shift with age regardless of if you have had braces or not.

Braces have become quite affordable today.

There are many dental insurance plans that will cover a portion of your braces; and with multiple payment options available, it has never been more affordable to get the smile you’ve always wanted.

There are less noticeable options for braces.

In the past, wearing braces meant you had to contend with being a metal mouth. Thanks to modern technology, that no longer has to be the case. The brackets used today are quite tiny and in some cases you can opt for ceramic braces that are far less noticeable! We also offer Invisalign; the clear and removable aligners. With these clear aligners, you are not limited to eating certain types of food and will find brushing and flossing a breeze!

Call today to schedule your complimentary consultation and you’ll be on your way to getting the smile you’ve always wanted!

Rock Climbing at the Moynihans Home SAFETY WAS THE PRIORITY WHEN CREATING THIS UNIQUE SPACE PHOTOGRAPHY KIM MCCLURE

MY KIDS GOT INTERESTED IN ROCK CLIMBING SO I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO SHARE THEIR PASSION AND CONSTRUCT A CLIMBING FEATURE ON THE SIDEWALL OF OUR HOME. Safety was the obvious focus, so the initial step was to double up on the rope holds and purchase high-end carabiners for the rope set, allowing for rappelling. These were secured through the brick wall and mounted with a metal interior plate. The next step was to install the bell for climb completion. The handholds were installed with mortar screws and reinforced with a quickset epoxy for additional support. Climbers are put on belay and begin their ascent.

The home is for sale. For more information Contact Tracy Gaudiano at 404.944.5393.

MODERNIZING THE Midcentury Ranch REDESIGN AND STAGING BY MUST HAVE HOME A 1960S RANCH RENOVATION MODERNIZED FOR TODAY’S IDEAL LIVING. In general, this style of home presents the same challenges as it did in the '60s: compartmentalized living spaces, small bathrooms and closets, limited storage space, and carports as opposed to a garage. The renovation at 436 Concord Road tackled each of these challenges in a unique and modern way.
