SMART HOMES MAY 2016
S
mart Homes’ focus has always been on catering to its readers’ needs for making the most with their resources, and this issue is no different. What are the latest trends and savviest finishes that will help upgrade your home from being standard, to feeling palatial? We have endeavoured to answer all these questions and more in this issue, by covering several facets of your home, from outdoor living and landscapes, to cool interiors and child-friendly homes. With a summer filled with opportunities to entertain guests fast approaching, exciting home improvement projects and fresh, updated spaces have now come into focus. Even if you’re not redesigning your abode this summer, perhaps there will be some style and design ideas in this issue that you can incorporate later in the year. I want to take a moment to thank our small but mighty team of extremely hardworking professionals who make this magazine so great. Your support and dedication are very much appreciated. Finally, I would be remiss if I did not sincerely thank all the advertisers who have supported Smart Homes in this issue. Smart Homes remains committed to being the island’s leading home resource. As always, it has been a real treat to see this magazine come together, and I’m happy to unveil it all for you now. Warm regards,
nry Tyson He EDITOR
