Everyone remembers their childhood nightlight, that small beacon of light protecting the bathroom from monsters and dragons. At Georgetown Development we want our families to feel protected and safe in their homes from any creatures that go bump in the night, which is why we really like the newest bath fan from NuTone.

The LunAura bath fan features an LED nightlight that encompasses the bath fan to produce a soothing soft blue light that provides enough lumination during the night while maintaining a calming atmosphere for sleepy homeowners. NuTone is known for their eco-friendly and stylish bath fans and the LunAura is no exception. The 100-cfm fan includes a main light that’s 36-watts, is available with a round, square or diamond light panel, is Energy Star-Rated and operates at just 0.7 sones, which just louder than a whisper.

NuTone has a long line of bath fans to fit any bathroom design. The LunAura brings a modern look to any custom bathroom renovation or new design.

Its a new year with new ideas in the DC area.   What if you could give your kids the gift of being able to write on their walls without the sheer look of horror from their parents? What if you could create a room for your significant other where they can think…on the wall?

We’d like to introduce you to IdeaPaint, a single-coat, roller-applied paint that can be used to turn a surface into a dry-erase board suitable for kitchens, a child’s room, or a home office. Unlike conventional dry-erase boards, IdeaPaint is formaldehyde-free, and conforms to all U.S. EPA regulations and does not produce any harmful gas once it’s dry. The product recently earned Greenguard certification, making it one of the newer eco-friendly paints on the market, which at Georgetown Development, ranks high on our list of must-have’s.

Want to know how to make IdeaPaint work in your home? Give us a call. At Georgetown Development, we can help transform any idea into the custom home or room renovation that you’ve always envisioned.

Everyone has their favorite room in a home. For some, it’s the living room, for some the bathroom and for many, especially in the DC Metro area, it’s the kitchen. At Georgetown Development, we’re always looking at new and innovative ways to update kitchens of any size so we’re always full of ideas when our clients ask us “what would you do with this space?”

One item we love that is guaranteed to knock the socks off of any foodie in your home is this electric drop-in induction cooktop from Electrolux. The cooktop’s Infinite cooking system creates heat only after sensing a pan on the surface. Not only that, but the surface responds only to the diameter of the pot or pan that’s been placed on the cooktop. Other features include Power-Assist, which provides a 25 percent increase in power to bring large pots to boil faster, and 15 preset touch settings for digital heat control.

We love Electrolux’s sleek design and at Georgetown Development, we can help you deisgn your new custom kitchen around this innovative product or any other product you’ve got your eye on this holiday season.

Washington, DC metro area homeowners aren’t exactly known for having multiple wind turbines in their backyards in Bethesda, Md. or Mclean, Va., but more and more homes today are putting smaller green touches in their homes, inside and out to save energy and help the environment, and Georgetown Development is helping lead the charge.

We wanted to share this article in the June 2010 issue of Builder magazine that highlights four projects around the U.S that has achieved the net-zero goal by using an array of technologies, including straw bale construction, foam insulation, and wind turbines.

Net zero homes are those that produce as much energy as they use, and we think that we’ll be seeing more and more of these homes in the years to come.

So even if you aren’t ready to go solar, Georgetown Development can help you with smaller touches to help save energy and green your home from custom home design or home renovations.
