10. It was in Orlando. Quick flight from Richmond, sunny & warm and fun things to do[went to St. Augustine after, beautiful].
9. Doors. There were some incredibly creative companies that designed and manfacturer custom doors and systems: A. Simpson Door – If you need something custom or unique great option 2012-02-09_IBS2012-SimpsonDoors
B. Nick’s Beautiful craftsmanship. If your goal is to make a statement this is the door. 02092012-IBS 2012 Nick's door detail

8. It’s the small things. potterybarn_coolrecharge_station
In case you were wondering we purchased the white. My wife hates seeing cords laying all over…We’re happy!
7. Windows – Exception selection of window manufacturers. Pella Anderson Jeld-Wen Marvin(always has a very cool display center) and let’s not forget PLY GEM. IBS2012Windows
6. Technology, WoW! A remote to turn on your shower by Mohen and Kholer. An app to lock/unlock your Schlage equiped door. Some of the coolest lift systems with 360 degree views. Garaventa, Otis Home and Harmar had exceptional working models on the showroom floor.
5. Lighting – Progressive had one spectacular fixture that stole the show.2012-02-08_15-27-38_939 Great companies like Lutron Matrix Outwater and Sea Gull were well represented and had the latest LED, OLED and other sustainable offerings, which also had great style like the Progressive Lighting in the photo. It was used in one of the Palm Harbor model homes in the outdoor exhibit.
4. Green. It must be “easy being green” because there were tons! of green products, companies and topics at the seminar that were related to or focused on sustainability.
3. Homes – Palm Harbor always has a tremendous showing at IBS. Their leading edge designs set the pace for the industry. 2012-02-08_15-32-43_23
2. Tracy & Paul and other celebs and smart folks. Great discussion on show and it’s impact on the community. Sorry it’s only in syndication, but what a tremendous impact on the world…Few can say as much. Peter_ExtremeMakeover_Crew
1. People & Optimism – In general the housing industry has some of the finest people you will ever meet. There was general improved optimism at the show. The multifamily market is reaching it’s stride after three years of uptick. PresRes has never worked in that space. We have mostly worked with custom developers like East West Parnters. We have a learning curve to get up to spead on this market while the large custom builders regain their strength. After three years downturn it is good to finally see and feel a glimmer of hope in this market.
