plants as air purifiers....and our new homes will love your new plants...

Organic Health HOME/ALOE VERA/ANIMALS/CLEANSER/EARTH/ENVIRONMENT/HOME/NATURAL CURE/NATURAL HABITAT/ORGANIC/ORGANIC HEALTH/OTHER/PLANET/POISON/UNCATEGORIZED/10 NATURAL AIR PURIFIERS FOR INDOORS 10 Natural Air Purifiers For Indoors Plant_Air_Purifier 9740200 In the late ’80s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants that filter out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Lucky for us these houseplants can also help clean our indoor air on Earth, which is typically far more polluted than our outdoor air is. 1. Aloe aloe This easy-to-grow, sun-loving succulent helps clear formaldehyde and benzene, which can be a byproduct of chemical-based cleaners, paints and more. Aloe is a smart choice for a sunny kitchen window. Beyond its air-clearing abilities, the gel inside an aloe plant can help heal cuts and burns. Aloe is a mild to moderate toxin to your pets. Please keep it out of their reach. 2. Spider Plant spiderplant Even if you tend to neglect houseplants, you’ll have a hard time killing this resilient plant. With lots of rich foliage and tiny white flowers, the spider plant battles benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene, a solvent used in the leather, rubber and printing industries. This plant seems to attract cats, but this plant is safe for cats and dogs. 3. Snake Plant snake plant Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant is one of the best for filtering out formaldehyde, which is common in cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues and personal care products. Put one in your bathroom and it’ll thrive with low light and steamy humid conditions while helping filter out air pollutants. This plant is toxic to both cats and dogs. If your pet ingested this plant, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435. 4. Golden Pothos pothos Another powerful plant for tackling formaldehyde, this fast-growing vine will create a cascade of green from a hanging basket. Consider it for your garage since car exhaust is filled with formaldehyde. Golden pothos, also know as devil’s ivy, stays green even when kept in the dark. This plant is also toxic to your pets. The symptoms are oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing. Try to keep the plant out of their reach. 5. Red Edged Dracaena dracaena_marginata The red edges of this easy dracaena bring a pop of color, and the shrub can grow to reach your ceiling. This plant is best for removing xylene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde, which can be introduced to indoor air through lacquers, varnishes and gasoline. Cats that eat the long, skinny fronds that are typical in the Dracaena plant family will vomit, sometimes with blood, become depressed and lose their appetites. Kittens can get a little wobbly and appear to be drunk. Luckily, these plants are not usually lethal and symptoms should disappear in 12 to 24 hours. 6. Weeping Fig (Ficus) Weepingfigcloseup A ficus in your living room can help filter out pollutants that typically accompany carpeting and furniture such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. Caring for a ficus can be tricky, but once you get the watering and light conditions right, they will last a long time. The creeping fig and the weeping fig are tempting for the cat and can be toxic if ingested in high quantities. 7. English Ivy englishIvy A study found that the plant reduces airborne fecal-matter particles. It has also been shown to filter out formaldehyde found in some household cleaning products. This plant can be mildly toxic to pets. The symptoms are vomiting, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, diarrhea. Foliage is more toxic than berries 8. Warneckii Dracaena warneck Combat pollutants associated with varnishes and oils with this dracaena. The Warneckii Dracaena grows inside easily, even without direct sunlight. With striped leaves forming clusters atop a thin stem, this houseplant can be striking, especially if it reaches its potential height of 12 feet. This plant can be toxic in both dogs and cats. The symptoms are in cats: dilated pupils, abdominal pain, increased heart rate and drooling. In both cats and dogs: vomiting, depression, inappetence, drooling, incoordination, and weakness. 9. Bamboo Palm bamboo-palm Also known as the reed palm, this small palm thrives in shady indoor spaces and often produces flowers and small berries. It tops the list of plants best for filtering out both benzene and trichloroethylene. They’re also a good choice for placing around furniture that could be off-gassing formaldehyde. The Bamboo Palm is safe for all pets. 10. Peace Lily peace_lily Shade and weekly watering are all the peace lily needs to survive and produce blooms. It topped NASA’s list for removing all three of most common VOCs — formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. It can also combat toluene and xylene. The Peace Lily is toxic to both cats and dogs. The symptoms are oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing.

Bellingham the Center of the New World, near Foxboro Stadium, the T, Rt495,its where the action is!

Working man, get over the blues, these homes are within reach and if not quite within your reach, we can move you to Uxbridge, about 20 minutes West....on Rt 146 A.... Bellingham Starting in the $300,000's Uxbridge starting in the $200,000's,some of the same houses but on association land, about 20 minutes from Rt 495, but save thousands, it will more than pay for your driving.... Okay so here we go for our Bellingham offerings.... We have two ranch style homes to choose from both have three bedrooms on first floor...and feature a basement and two car garage...One of the ranches, has a large 4th bedroom and 3rd bath over the 2 car garage, this is a plus if you have a grown child, or an inlaw or two, that needs to come with you....and it is private, ...far away from the rest of the bedrooms...both homes have direct garage access from kitchen, easy transporting groceries and both homes have a front porch for rocking chairs, and neighborhood peeking. The Villa is the 3 bedroom with the special 4th bedroom and bath over the garage and she sits on the corner of Northern Lights Blvd and Geordan....so it has a nice view around the area...Northern Lights promises to be an address for the future.

One of the best times to show your home is when it is decorated for the holidays....so why not...We don't have to come in on the holiday, and frankly everyone is busy, so the traffic might not be heavy anyway, but why not show it, if a buyer is looking during the holidays, chances are they are serious...

Village of America , Ashland Mass, and The Louisiana Purchase,Phyllis Bianchi, Bernie Lang, more

Our Village of America, honors the great story of our country from birth through the Louisiana Purchase....was it the greatest real estate deal in History?  You decide.


Louis and Clark were charged by Jefferson to find a way across the Continent, no matter who ended up with this magnificent piece of land.  According to my friends, Phyllis and Bernie Lang, back in 2005, when they honored the Louisiana Purchase, with their Christmas card... ( the purchase was 100 years old), they said that the most difficult part of the journey was at Great Falls, where it took Lewis and Clark 11 days to climb the 87 foot falls, with their supplies and boats. ( Fond memories remain with me of yearly Christmas cards from the Lang's, she was Phyllis Bianchi of the House of Bianchi, known for fabulous gowns!)

We have created here in Ashland , a living village as a historic reminder of our fabulously interesting history of the United States as it headed toward it's destiny as a Republic.   Our Village in Ashland, which bounds,Sherborn, Holliston, and Framingham very near our location..  You can reach us from Framingham take 135 west, to Cherstnut Street, turn left, and we are just up the road.  You can reach us from the Sherborn, Holliston end of town from Framingham, take  126 toward Holliston, at the top of the big hill turn right at the lights on to Eliot Street, right at the fork onto Fruit St, and at the light take a right onto Chestnut Street, we are just down the road, living in the triangle between Rt 126 and Rt 135... and as the Indians knew, this was a fertile land within the Sudbury River watershed.  The Indians lived very nearby, they fished for eel in Lake Waushakum and in Farm Pond,( both are ponds), located in Framingham where the water drains from our area, into the reservoirs and streams that make up the Sudbury on its way to Boston and the Sea...  

Celebrate the next anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase( in December it will be 110 years), by living here , its close to everything, shops, restaurants, hosptitals, colleges, and more, yet it is still country ....   Call us today for a tour, and see the wonderful selections of townhomes, or single family we are building in the area. Prices from  the $300,000's in townhomes, and around the corner in Holliston,  where our Carriage House Estates is underway, we are in the $700,000's....a very beautiful place to live.  Both Ashland and Holliston are such nice small towns, you can not help but love living here...I know, I have been living around here all my life....

 - DisestablishedOctober 1, 1804

1804 map of "Louisiana", edged on the west by the Rocky Mountains.
The Louisiana Purchase (FrenchVente de la Louisiane "Sale of Louisiana") was the acquisition by the United States of America in 1803 of 828,000 square miles (2,144,000 square kilometers or 529,920,000 acres) of France's claim to the territory of Louisiana. The U.S. paid 50 million francs($11,250,000) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs ($3,750,000), a total sum of 15 million dollars (around 4 cents per acre[1]), for the Louisiana territory ($236 million in 2013 dollars, less than 42 cents per acre).[2][3] The Louisiana territory encompassed all or part of 15 presentU.S. states and two Canadian provinces. The land purchased contained all of present-day ArkansasMissouriIowaOklahomaKansas, and Nebraska; parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River; most of North Dakota; most of South Dakota; northeastern New Mexico; northern Texas; the portions of MontanaWyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental DivideLouisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans; and small portions of land that would eventually become part of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
France controlled this vast area from 1699 until 1762, the year it gave the territory to its ally Spain. Under Napoleon BonaparteFrance took back the territory in 1800 in the hope of building an empire in North America. A slave revolt in Haiti and an impending war with Britain, however, led France to abandon these plans and sell the entire territory to the United States, which had originally intended only to seek the purchase of New Orleans and its adjacent lands.
The purchase of the territory of Louisiana took place during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. At the time, the purchase faced domestic opposition as some argued that it was unconstitutional, though opposition ultimately was not widespread. Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain provisions for acquiring territory, but decided to go ahead with the purchase anyway—to remove France's presence in the region and protect both U.S. trade access to the port ofNew Orleans and free passage on the Mississippi River.

New townhome style Ashland , Mass., with continental den as in the bigger houses...

We have a new building that features the wonderful and popular continental den that we design in our bigger single family homes, only a few available.
The continental den is on the second floor, and serves as a night time retreat for you and the children, or a relax place to sit if you have a sick chidl or even as a temporary bedroom for a visiting relative, by setting up a pull out sofa and a drape for privacy.  This is a wonderful feature for parents who have to come from a great distance to visit you.

Reminder that all townhomes in Ashland by zoning are two bedrooms and 4 inhabitants, so bear that in mind this continental den  can be used in many creative ways, but not as a permanent bedroom for a 5th inhabitant.   We don't want you unhappy,  so better to understand the zoning up front.

You have to admit, that in a pinch, it is a wonderful feature, and it can keep a work at home desk our of the living room.

The townhomes are now in our newest section, Louisiana Purchase.  This was an incredible purchase of thousands of acres, in the middle section of the United States.  It started the Westward Ho!  movement, where people chanced the trip in covered wagons to settle along the route and through Indian Territory to the California Gold Rush and more of the exciting story of the United Sates...

The story of the railroad crossing our great land and the people, the Mormons, the railroad men, the settlers, the government agents, and more is on Saturday nights...AMC...called "Hell On Wheels"  I love history, I love the story of our country, and I think the program is great....

Vastu for Home

The term Vastu, meaning a dwelling place, was initially used to refer to the homes of gods and human beings. However, with time, it came to be associated with the right location as well as design of almost any and every structure. Be it a plot, commercial complex, industry, shop/showroom, residential house or spiritual place like temple, Vastu tips are followed while building each and every edifice. Coming down to home, it takes an important place in all the activities of your day to day life. The structure of a house forms one of the important considerations in Vastu shastra. If the house construction is weak, vastu is also weak, and if house construction is strong, vastu also works strong.

When it comes to residential Vasthu, each and every aspect of a house is taken into consideration. Right from the master bedroom and kids' room to the bathroom and even the garage, there is not even a single aspect in a house that is overlooked by Vastu Shastra. For instance, best direction for master bedroom construction is southwest, while for other rooms; central, southern and central west directions are appropriate. Then, for prayer room, yellow or sandal color is just perfect for walls. Like this, there are many other Vastu tips that need to be followed while constructing as well as furnishing a house. In this section, we will help you explore each one of them, in detail.

The ice skating rink is a hop , skip and  jump in the other direction....and so are the schools...it is a great location, come see the remaining lots, that are being eaten up quickly by the hungry crowds...

Village of America gorgeous townhomes, in the country yet, minutes to the Metroplex on Rt 9 Fram, and Natick

If you want all the conveniences of a luxurious home, this is the place to look....In our single family homes, many of our bigger models have a continental den on the second floor.  So...you guessed it, we designed a townhome with a continental den on the second floor.  

It is great for the office that you always seem to have over flowing with work, you don't have to look at it in the bedroom, the living room, or even the continetnal den....because you can put up a drape and close it off. in the continental den....oh what a relief when you want to forget work for an hour or two or even a day.

Need a place for visiting in law, just put a fold out sofa in the continental den, pull a curtain and voila, mother has a place to sleep for a short visit...

All our townhomes old or new are legal for 4 people, but sometimes you have a boy and a girl,so with the continental den, you can allow the boy to set up a tent, behind the curtain and camp out nights in the wonder of his own  area, far from the maddening crowd....Great idea?  You don't even have to look at it...

If you prefer, you can have the million dollar bedroom look ...forget the continental den and make your bedroom the one and only  knock them dead version, with a sunnery.....You have to come see this.  Some of your friends, will not have a bedroom this nice in their home that they spent much more money for.

By the way our townhomes are not all the same, they change with the wind....some days, I get creative and you get a surprise in the next building....and I am getting the urge.....so maybe I will be cooking up a new style in the next day or too, when I start baking a raspberry pie, my favorite..it gives me time to be creative....

Oops I forgot to tell you, we have 3 units remaining that are set up for an elevator....grab one quick you never have to move...just put in the elevator when the time comes that the knees don't like the stairs anymore.  The elevator goes through  three floors...from basement/garage to living area, to bedroom area.

There is so much to see here at Village of America...come take a peek, we have location, we have style, and we have many different changing floor plans.  Check out our product and our prices, we will help you get prequalified, it costs nothing to do that, and maybe you will be living here in three months....??

Forecasts: Right or Wrong?
Freddie Mac reports the following mortgage rate national averages for the week ending Aug. 21:
  • 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 4.10 percent, with an average 0.5 point, dropping from last week’s 4.12 percent. Last year at this time, 30-year rates averaged 4.58 percent.
  • 15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.23 percent, with an average 0.6 point, dropping from last week’s 3.24 percent average. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 3.60 percent.
