Today's homes are much larger than homes of yesteryear.  They are more luxurious with features that were once only seen in homes built for the upper class.  An endless array of upgraded features are readily available to meet the public's demand.  Design books, television shows, websites, classes, and workshops are constantly being offered to feed the ever-increasing demand for the homeowners' desire to enhance their homes, yards, and living environment in general.

While the desire for an upgraded lifestyle has become the American standard, the vastness of our country offers an endless array of design and architectural inspiration.  Differing climates and vernaculars and differing cultural and social settings provide limitless options for expressing creativity and unique design.

Depending on what part of the country you live in, certain features and amenities are almost expected or are deemed the standard as part of the house and lawn package.  For example, because of the warmer to tropical climates in southern states, in-ground pools are typical in many areas.  In opposition to that, many northern homes have basements because the house foundation must be built below the frost line, thus providing the opportunity to easily transition to valuable added basement and living space.
