EYA Homeowners Love Their Homes

August 15th, 2018

On July 15th, we launched our #LoveMyEYAHome photo contest for EYA homeowners. The rules were simple: post a photo of your favorite space in your EYA home on our Facebook timeline and tell us what you love about it.

We received a lot of creative photo submissions featuring sleek kitchens, bright dens, cozy living rooms, and private rooftop terraces. Check out some of the comments from EYA homeowners who love their homes:

"We enjoy our sleek and modern rooftop terrace. Great for entertaining, dinners “al fresco,” and watching beautiful sunsets!"- Ana C.
"Our kitchen/living room area is bright and open! We love to dine and relax on this level."- Kerri W.

"We love our roof terrace sunsets and so does our dog. It is so peaceful and relaxing."- Christine N.

"Living in my new EYA home always makes every day sunny and pleasant with its spacious rooms and delightful texture & design."- Joel I.

"We enjoy having different areas individually and consecutively - island in the kitchen, dining room, and living room - to relax with our friends and ourselves over conversation, beverages, and food."- Benny G.

"I definitely #LoveMyEYAHome, as do my wife and daughter, and this is my favorite spot in our home. My wife asked me to trust her when she designed my home office, and it's perfect! Among the top reasons I love this space: 1) I love working while my daughter reads and colors across from me; it makes having to work on weekends just a bit more bearable; 2) I'm an avid reader, and to reflect that, my wife handfolded used books for the wall design and put up invisible bookshelves on the wall opposite the window; 3) the large closet opposite the window is perfect for me; my wife installed bookshelves to house the printers and my books; but she also installed beautiful shelves to house my large collection of fountain pens and inks; 4) I love sunlight, so she installed honeycomb blinds that can open from the top down to allow sun to enter but still allow privacy; and 5) it's the first time I've had a personal space just for myself; it reminds me how well my wife knows me, and it allows me to spend more time at home when work is busy. She picked out beautiful trays and paper holders as I love stationary and recognizes that I need a dedicated place for keys, wallet, and daily carries (lest they be lost to the bottomless "it's somewhere here" black hole"). I love this space! And I #LoveMyEYAHome!"

And a big thank you to all the entrants- we loved the photos of your EYA homes too! We were so impressed that we'd like to thank everyone who entered the contest with a $25 Amazon gift card!
