At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhhunthomes.com\/\">HHHunt<\/a>, we believe it\u2019s how you live\nthat matters. We understand the magic that is created when people come together\nand make meaningful experiences. That is why we love this time of year so much!\nAs you plan for your next gathering, here are just some of the ways you can\nentertain for the holidays in an HHHunt Home. You can also check out the\nfollowing videos to see what our homeowners love about entertaining in their\nbrand-new homes! Bob and Joyce share their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WLDU7S8jhlM&amp;list=PLXGXM9UqFsVKHcZshKN9URl4ZFwnC3bCx&amp;index=4\">entertaining\nexperience their condo<\/a> at Sandler Station and Ashley from River Mill shares\nabout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Lg33sRytonM\">hosting family for\nthe holidays<\/a> in her new single-family home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Utilize Your Kitchen\u2019s Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of our homes come equipped with a kitchen island. This useful\nspace can be overlooked but the kitchen island really is the perfect home\naccessory for entertaining. Whether you set up a make-shift bar or a buffet\nstaging area, the kitchen island\u2019s design is perfect for guests to treat\nthemselves to holiday goodies. The best part is that our kitchen islands also\ninclude sinks, built-in dishwashers, and quartz or granite surfaces which make clean-up\na breeze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warm Your Space with a Fireplace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fireplaces are perfect for the winter months \u2013 especially\naround the holidays. That is why we offer fireplaces in most of our\nsingle-family and townhome floor plans. A crackling fire creates a warm and\nrelaxing ambiance for family, friends and neighbors to gather. If you have a\nfireplace in your HHHunt Home, the mantle over the fireplace is the perfect\nspot to decorate by sharing holiday pictures or family mementos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Store Personal Items in Your Pantry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We get it. Everyone has things lying around their home that\nget in the way when you are entertaining. All our home plans feature a pantry\nin the kitchen, making it the perfect spot to store canned or dry goods.\nHowever, pantries are also a great place to put magazines and other knickknacks\nthat have accumulated around your family room or kitchen during the holiday\nseason. The rule of thumb when entertaining is if it isn\u2019t contributing to your\nevent then put it away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embrace Outdoor Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of our single-family homes and townhomes offer outdoor\nspaces such as covered patios, decks and more. Given that December weather in\nVirginia and North Carolina can be very unpredictable, why not embrace these\noutdoor spaces? If the weather is decent, stage some food items or seating\nareas outside. On colder days, these outdoor spaces can be staged with holiday\ndecorations for your guests to admire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create Play Areas in Flex Spaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it be a loft on the second floor, a flex space on\nthe first floor, or even a basement, many HHHunt Homes feature flexible spaces\nwhich are great for entertaining younger guests. Consider dressing up these\nspaces with holiday-themed pillows, lights, games and toys so that they can let\ntheir imaginations run wild. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryliving.com\/entertaining\/g1198\/christmas-kids-table-ideas\/\">Here\nare a few ideas<\/a>! Not only will kids have a great time playing in these spaces,\nbut it will also provide parents with the opportunity to catch up with friends\nand family. Learn more about these areas in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v78K_H_X55M\">flex\nspace video!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Off Your Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HHHunt Homes takes great pride in building in some of the\nbest new home communities in Richmond, Williamsburg, Hampton Roads, and\nRaleigh. Show off your neighborhood by taking your guests on a quick tour.
