WELCOME LETTER Welcome to the premiere issue of Home & Leisure! I am proud to launch this publication designed for affluent homeowners in Greater Cincinnati and I truly believe the timing could not be better. In the last few years society’s goals have shifted a bit. These days, we are focusing more on creating spaces for relaxing and entertaining at home. (See our article on firepits, pergolas and three-season rooms on page 14.) And, when we venture out, we sometimes want options that welcome all members of our family …occasionally even the four-legged ones. (See how craft breweries in our area are creating communities built around much more than beer on page 24.) If you’re looking for something to do, check out our calendar of events on page 26. This publication, brought to you by the talented team behind Housetrends magazine, is designed to offer you inspiration and valuable opportunities when it comes to creating the home environment you desire and the leisure activities you crave—whether that means new patio furniture or a fun evening out with friends. Our content is crafted specifically with readers like you in mind. We welcome your comments about our very first issue. And please, let us know what topics, offers and resources you’d like to see in future issues.
