Are you planning to buy an older Franklin home? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, from 1950 to 2004 the average size of the kitchen increased 216 percent, while the home itself increased by only 72 percent in size. So with all this extra space, are homeowners focusing on added function or fashion? The answer is both. 

As kitchens increase in size,appliances, countertops and faucets have transformed  to technologically advanced and highly stylized "must haves." Now you can create a chic and savvy kitchen that will be years ahead of your neighbors.

Technology is the focus in home design trends -- especially with appliances. When it comes to dishwashers, models may be certified by the National Sanitation Foundation, ensuring that they reach at least 150 degrees to thoroughly zap germs. Others offer automatic leak detection systems or models, such as the GE Cafe dishwasher, offer SmartDispense technology, which allows users to fill the washer with an entire 45-ounce bottle of detergent and it dispenses just the right amount each cycle.

Just be aware that older homes can be updated with new appliances, but the space that some people are looking for will be a little harder to create.

If you love nature, this picture will make your day. One of my friends sent me this today, and I couldn't believe how colorful this picture was. Treat yourself to a few minutes in the morning with a camera, it's amazing what you can see if you just look around. This was taken in Franklin Tennessee, where we have an abundance of wildlife, for everyone to enjoy it.

I don't usually like to quote other people, because It's not mine, and they should be getting all the credit for it. However, this one was sent to me today, and for our industry, it really hits home. And in this case, he probably wouldn't mind sharing the credit if he were still alive.
