			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a few short months, Evolo will welcome a new model home at our headquarters in Newport, Maine.  The design process has been an exciting one, with the arrival of pinterest.com and houzz.com, inspiration is at our fingertips.  There is a classic chart I generally share with new homeowners that shows the different emotions that come with building a new home and I have gone through each one of these as I worked to design this new model.</p>
<p>But I can attest that now that the home is under construction at Prestige, any feelings except exhilaration as melted away.  Now just the anticipation remains and I look forward to the decorating details!  A new model home allows me to pick out some cool new features, and I am especially excited about the kitchen in this new home &#8211; oh and the travertine in the master bath, too.</p>
<p>Stay tuned, I am looking forward to inviting you all to an open house soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have some very exciting news here at Evolo, we have a new model home in the works!  But first we must bid farewell to our beloved victoria model home.  The victoria model ranch has been a show piece and inspiration to many of our homeowners, and lest we feel sad, we know it is going to an owner who will look after it very carefully.  So, here are a few photos of the Victoria Model 1650sqft 3 bedroom, 2 bath.  Details on the new model coming soon (we are busy working on the design!).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Phew, what a wonderful winter it has been here at Evolo.  With several projects underway (pictures soon I promise), a new model in the process of being designed, and working with several customers on the details of their new homes for spring &#8211; I wanted to take this opportunity to thank our customers, sub contractors, employees and community for their continued support and hard work.  When we opened in Evolo in 2005, we could have never imagined a we would have such a wonderful network of supporters.   We are grateful.</p>
<p>A little house keeping, our Evolo sign was destroyed on new years eve in a car accident, we are told the driver was unharmed (can&#8217;t say so much for the sign!).  In any case, our new sign is in the works.  Also, in a few weeks, our Evolo Victoria model will be on its way to a permanent home in mid-coast Maine.  So, we will be under construction this spring, but still here and open for business.  So, please excuse the disarray and stop-in and let us know how we can help you with your new home planning!</p>
