EDITOR’S NOTE GREATER MIAMI VALLEY The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Associate Publishers Linda Bacher, Florence Murphy, Evelyn Yaus Editor Karen Bradner Creative Services Gina Miller Quality Control Specialist Heather Fox Social Media Coordinator Megan Maschari Contributing Photographers Dale Clark, Jim Crotty, Jeffrey A. Davis, Marshall Evan, Daniel Feldkamp, Robin Victor Goetz, Greg Grupenhof, Adam Kane, Connie Kimsey, Henry Leiter, Karli Moore, Johan Roetz, Hal Stata, Craig Thompson, Ross Van Pelt, Frank Wayne, Bob Winner The above quote is widely attributed to the ancient philosopher Socrates, but in reality, those are the words of world-class gymnast Dan Millman who wrote them in 2006. Since then, Millman has become a successful coach, self-help author, and lecturer. No matter the source, these words may never ring truer than they do at the launch of <strong>2021</strong>. This is a time to reassess and adjust. Housetrends, and all of the clients who support us, definitely went through changes in the past year. While our first impulse was to try to get back to the way things were, after some consideration we decided this was actually the right time to look optimistically forward. After a definite lull, builders, remodelers, and designers got back to their booming businesses as homeowners made plans to add function and comfort to their nests. We’ve decided to celebrate the boom in home renovation and this special <strong>Idea</strong> <strong>Book</strong> issue of Housetrends reflects that. In a subtle variation from our typical content, this publication focuses on how the home and garden industry is changing….what’s trending, what’s new, what there is to look forward to. Experts have shared with us what they see happening in kitchens and baths over the next three years. Color professionals have selected their hot hues for <strong>2021</strong>. And builders and kitchen planners are telling us that working pantries are definitely worth considering. We’ll be back with a more traditional version of Housetrends in March, but in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this special edition.
