Hello!
I am so excited to FINALLY share the news that our accessible home is featured in the March 2022 issue of Better Homes & Garden! @betterhomesandgardens
This is both an honor and a responsibility that I took seriously. When Better Homes & Garden first approached me I made it clear that my interest in featuring our home was to highlight all things accessibility, and to specifically talk about the need for more accessible homes. I'm so grateful they agreed. It is a beautiful 7(!) page spread and I'm so pleased with how it all turned out.
I will be expanding upon what Better Homes & Garden shared in their story on my blog in the next couple of weeks with an even more in depth look at exactly what makes our home accessible, answering questions from this community, sharing more resources and more accessible spaces as well!
In the meantime, please take a moment to look at my brief blog post today outlining the reasons I want EVERYONE--especially the home building industry and anyone about to build a home--to incorporate accessibility into their homes regardless of whether or not anyone in their life currently has a physical disability.
An excerpt: "Universal design is best illustrated with what is referred to as the curb cut effect. Curb cuts are the ramps found at the end of sidewalks that make it possible for wheelchair users to cross the street....Most people probably don't even know that the ramps at the corner of their neighborhood sidewalks are there because of the disability community!
But it's not just the disability community that benefits from having curb cuts--Caregivers pushing strollers, delivery people using a dolly, kids on bikes or roller skates, elderly people who may have a hard time navigating steps and the more. Everyone benefits from accessible design.
Likewise if more builders and new-build home owners would implement universal design into their home plan, everyone would benefit in ways we can't currently imagine." Link in bio.
And go grab you March BH&G today!š¤
