Morning Star Builders Attends Southern Living Builders Summit

Morning Star Builders is a proud member of the Southern Living Builders program, which is composed of builders and designers from the southern states. Each year, the Southern Living Builders program holds an annual event called the Southern Living Builder Summit. Ted and Yvonne Cummins, our Chief Creative Officer and Certified Aging in Place Specialist, attended the 2019 Southern Living Builder Summit in March on behalf of Morning Star Builders.

Some of the national sponsors of the Southern Living Builder Summit include:

Sherwin Williams
Marvin Windows
Home Depot
James Hardie Siding (Aspyre line)
Belgard Permeable Pavers
TimberTech Decking
Wellborn Cabinets

At this year’s event held in Savannah, Georgia, Ted and Yvonne were able to connect with other members of the Southern Living Builders program. They were also able to gather design inspiration from the local homes and architecture, summit programs, and designers that attended the event. The summit included talks with industry professionals, including Southern Living editor, Sid Evans. One of the most impactful parts of his speech was a video showcasing recovery efforts after Hurricane Harvey. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come since the devastation the hurricane brought to the southern states.

Ted and Yvonne had so much fun attending the 2019 Southern Living Builders Summit! There was a lot to learn and it was wonderful to connect with other builders and designers. From touring the area and attending seminars, the experience was excellent and we’re already looking forward to next year’s summit. Until then, we’re happy to share a glimpse at some of our favorite memories of the 2019 Southern Living Builders Summit!
