Efforts began in 1909 to recognize Father’s Day as a holiday, when Sonora Smart Dodd first proposed Father’s Day after seeing her own father raise his six children alone. President Richard Nixon finally signed Father’s Day into law in 1972.
Today, the third Sunday in June remains the perfect time to thank and celebrate fathers — so let’s make sure to do something special for them.
How about taking over the outdoor cooking? If you can get dad to give up the apron and tongs for one afternoon, this is the day. Escort him to the nearest lounge chair and treat him to an outdoor extravaganza of food, drink and his favorite music. (Bonus points if you surprise him with a playlist of songs from his teen years!)
Lennar’s backyards are all-American in variety and function, and many of our floorplans prominently feature a covered lanai that brings indoor living space outside. We make sure to give our customers a homestead worthy of every holiday and special gathering around the year. Since we’re talking food, this is a good time to mention the stainless steel fridge, stove and other appliances in our signature Everything’s Included® package — just to get the party started right.
Depending on what generation he’s from, your dad probably has a somewhat “vintage” idea of a good time. Before the age of 24/7 internet access, men engaged in real-life activities like golf, camping, fly fishing, motorcycle trips and following rock bands on tour. (This is why dad is so annoyed by “reality” TV.)
Chances are, dad already owns 95% of the accessories he will ever need for his chosen hobby — whether it’s an immaculate set of golf clubs, a vintage guitar or a well-maintained sports car. But don’t despair. In a spacious Lennar home, there’s plenty of room for more accessories.
Consider buying (or hand-crafting) dad a plaque or sign commemorating his favorite pastime. Be creative, and don’t be afraid to go the humorous route. Even if he has more enthusiasm than actual skill, he will appreciate the thought — and proudly display his “#1 GOLFER” or “BEST DAD GUITARIST EVER” sign.
Honoring Dad for all he’s done is easy, but you might consider creating a more lasting version of your “thank you” message. For instance — if your dad taught you to play baseball and you ended up being a star player, give credit where credit is due.
Discreetly dig through old family photos and find some key moments in your evolution from playing catch to playing as catcher. Write or print out a personalized message like “thank you, dad, for helping me become who I am today.” Arrange your items on a suitable colored background (think scrapbooking style) and fasten them inside of a picture frame for a personalized trophy he’ll be sure to cherish.
One thing we always appreciate about dads is their ability to dig in. Sometimes, that means sacrificing family time for work. The older we get, the more we realize how many times dad put in extra hours for us — or cancelled plans in his free time to take care of work.
Lennar floorplans are designed to aid in this exact situation. With all the extra space we provide in the form of lofts, flex rooms, dens and studies, it’s so much easier to set up a self-contained remote office where dad can work and concentrate. It beats trying to focus on work in the middle of a busy kitchen or dining room!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads (and dads-to-be) out there! Enjoy your day.

The kitchen has always been the heart of the home. This year, new trends are emerging that will make your space stylish and unique. With these design tips, you’ll be sure to have a space where you can live, socialize, relax, and maybe even cook sometimes.
If you are looking for a stylish remodel, consider starting with texture. Whether on countertops, backsplashes, or walls, mixing materials is a great way to add texture. Texture creates a visual effect in your space and using a variety of textures can easily add depth. Brick, wood grain, brushed metals, and even stone can add dimension to your kitchen
A subtle pattern in materials is another great way to implement trendy design in your space. White marble is here to stay, but matte white surfaces are entering the scene. Using these materials for your countertops is an easy way to lighten up a space while still creating that visual appeal.
We’ve noticed that colored cabinetry complements lighter countertops well. Current colors for 2022 are light greens, blues, and yellows. These pastels brighten up any room and can really maximize the feeling of space in your kitchen. A pop of color grabs attention, but these subtle colors still promote a sense of relaxation. If you are searching for something bolder, consider using black cabinetry. Layering black in your kitchen adds a dramatic effect. There is also an increase in utilization of black countertops and backsplashes if laying black cabinetry seems daunting. There are many ways to implement these trends to best suit your tastes, so don’t be afraid to take pieces of these design ideas and make them your own.
Once you have your sleek countertops with matching backsplash and cabinets, look up! The finishing touch, but often one of the first things people notice, is statement lighting. Architectural pendants and sculptural chandeliers can make a space complete. Unique lighting is currently in fashion because it carries the visual interest upward. Lighting is a fun way to express personality while still bringing together the other design elements of your kitchen. Focus on matching the material of your statement lighting to other aspects of your kitchen, such as hardware. This creates cohesion and tops off your kitchen design.
Lennar values cutting-edge design and modern finishes. That’s why in every Lennar home, we include design elements with current trends in mind as part of our Everything’s Included® feature. With a wide variety of communities and floorplans within each, you will be sure to find your perfect home with Lennar. Be sure to check out our communities near you and visit our website today, or call (888)-208-4141 to schedule an appointment!
