Remember the good ‘ole days when people sat on the front porch (instead of the back deck) and saw their neighbors, had short conversations, or invited them to sit a spell? At Cornerstone Homes, we believe that when people are connected, they are happier.  And happier means healthier.  And through these social gatherings on front porches or along the sidewalks, you will find an increased sense of belonging and a spirit of fun. One thing is for sure, front porches connect neighbors!

Fast forward to Chickahominy Falls in Hanover County.   Cornerstone Homes' agri-community with a front porch culture.   

One day, Mary Beth, Paula and Susan (new friends and homeowners at Chickahominy Falls) were taking their daily walk through the neighborhood.  Mary Beth just happened to make a suggestion..."it's getting close to Halloween, let's decorate our front porches with skeletons!  You know the smallest gesture can sometimes bring humor and joy to everyone," said Mary Beth.  And so they started.  Soon more people started jumping on board.  But these are not just normal skeletons, let me say!  The creativity and spirit of this community is out of this world.   Picture this.....Skeletons with hunting gear, drinking wine, offering ice cream bones, meet bona Lisa, Bone to Be Wild,  and some change their outfits every couple of days!  The imaginations just go on and on.   As a warning, don't bother going to the local Michael's store anytime soon, the shelves are bare!!   

Come on out and drive through Chickahominy Falls these days and you’ll see some festive porch décor that just might tickle your funny bone.  We have such a unique lifestyle that lives here and in all our communities.  One that is built with play and purpose in mind.
