Let’s Talk Business – Creating the Perfect Home Office at Belmont Park Bridge
Here in Alpharetta, Georgia, we’re seeing more and more home offices springing up. Whether it’s a temporary or long-term arrangement, working from home can present its share of challenges. That’s why we, at Belmont at Park Bridge Apartments, would like to offer these solutions to help make your workday easier. When you set up your workspace, do your best to mimic the arrangement of a traditional office. Most offices are set up with maximum efficiency in mind, such as keeping frequently used materials within reach. Storage and organization are key components so that no time is wasted with searching or wandering off and losing focus. Furniture should be as functional as it is fashionable. The MoDRN Glam Marion Sleigh Base File Cabinet from Hayneedle will store documents while adding sophistication to the room. A lack of communication can cause much confusion when you’re left to work alone. If you work for an employer, a client, or with partners, ask them what projects you should prioritize when you’re feeling directionless. Perhaps schedule video or phone conferences once or twice a week, confirming assignments at the end of each call. Another benefit of communication is the social aspect, which we all need to some degree. That’s why Belmont at Park Bridge regularly plans social activities for our community. Whether talking with coworkers or friends and family, this social support improves morale. If you feel overwhelmed and have trouble getting motivated, limit your daily to-do list so you aren’t instantly defeated by looking at it. Try to refrain from covering your desk with unnecessary items. Personal keepsakes can quickly crowd the space needed for paperwork, equipment, and supplies. Instead, place them on shelves or walls. One solution is the fully-customizable Perch Magnetic Modular System from The Container Store, which allows easy utilization of vertical surfaces. Energy levels will naturally fluctuate throughout the day, so choose tasks accordingly. Nutrition, hydration, exercise, and sleep all impact performance of any type. Using a set of resistance bands or weights for a few minutes can give you a quick recharge and reignite your focus. Since all of our apartment homes at Belmont at Park Bridge include a patio or balcony, you have the convenience of quickly stepping outside for a breath of fresh air. For a longer break or the end of the workday, take a stroll around our beautifully landscaped property to refresh yourself and remain uplifted. We offer a full fitness center to our residents. Go for a swim in our resort-style pool, or play a game of tennis or racquetball! Sometimes you may start feeling stale even when you still have physical energy. Try rotating the existing décor to keep your office environment looking fresh. Definitely change out of your pajamas every day; this makes a huge difference! Readying yourself for the day as if you’re going out will set you in the frame of mind to get things accomplished. Creating a daily cue for yourself is another way to shift your focus from home to work. It could be a specific routine, a song, some stretches, or deep breathing – whatever suits you. You may also benefit from adding a cue to the end of your workday. Some people have difficulty moving their focus away from work. If working with a team, announce the end of your shift to them so they aren’t trying to pull you back to work the rest of the evening. Keeping consistent hours will make your availability clear to everyone. When scheduling your calendar, be sure to include details like breaks and personal activities, such as appointments or workouts. Switch off from work mode after hours by closing off your workspace or putting away your laptop. Separate work from home by avoiding working from your bed or couch. Distractions might be the biggest challenge when working from home. If living with others, a “do not disturb” sign is a gentle way to remind family that you’re busy. Noise-canceling headphones are used by a lot of people who need to tune out their surroundings. Let’s not forget that many distractions are self-made. Designate a certain time block each day for administrative tasks so you aren’t dropping what you’re doing to order supplies or open mail. Minimize personal effects in the work area and declutter regularly so your attention stays on the task at hand. Marie Kondo teaches tidiness as a lifestyle. And did you know she has her own line of office supplies?! Eating is a very common distraction. Prepare meals in advance to eat during breaks so you don’t end up snacking at your desk. Do any of us really get much typing done while we’re elbow-deep in a bag of chips? Meal prep will also ensure that you eat enough to maintain your energy level as you work. The gourmet-style kitchens in all of our Belmont at Park Bridge Apartment Homes are outfitted to meet your needs. Our team wishes you well in your endeavors. We hope these tips will help your business run smoothly to keep you happy and fulfilled!

5 Restaurants near Belmont at Park Bridge Apartments in Alpharetta, Georgia that we love
This holiday season it’s time to come together with friends and family and celebrate. And what better way to do that than sharing a meal together? Or, better yet, let someone else fix it for us. With that in mind our Idea Specialists® at Belmont Park Bridge are sharing 5 of our favorite restaurants in the area and we think you’re gonna love this! Get your taste buds ready because here comes delicious! 1. Sink your teeth into steak—Pampas Steak Pampas Steakhouse is just six minutes away from our luxury apartment community on State Bridge Road in John’s Creek, Georgia, but their food makes you feel like you’ve walked into South America! Why? Because this place focuses on fabulous. Here that means Argentinian-style cuisine with different cuts and varieties of steaks that you don’t find at other steakhouses, that’s why. Want wine with that? Be our guest since the Pampas Steakhouse wine list is pretty extensive and has received a few great awards from cool people in the know at Wine Spectator, Open Table, and Zagat, among others. This awesome restaurant was named #1 Steakhouse in Georgia by Open Table diners in 2014 if that’s not enough, they’re on Zagat’s list for Best Service, Best Décor, Best Steakhouse, and Restaurants with the Best Food in Atlanta. But we already knew that. Now, you do too! Our favorite pick from this mouthwatering place is the bone-in steak, “The Brick” Filet, prepared the traditional Argentinian way over oak, a woodfire grill and a bank of hot coals. Start with some Bangs Island Mussels made with smoked ham, shallots, garlic, cream and add a great glass of cabernet like their Duckhorn Paraduux. We’d recommend a vegetable to go with all this, but why? 2. What’s not to love about pasta? Pasta Vino in Alpharetta OK, now that we have beef out of the way, who can forget about our other favorite food group—pasta? Not us, for sure. That’s why we love, love, love Pasta Vino. It’s only about a mile and a half from Belmont Park Bridge, so we love to pop over for a quick meal like their $10 Lunch Specials that include a house or Caesar salad, and your selection of 10 different pastas. Our favorites are Rigatoni Bolognese, Chicken Parmigiana served with spaghetti, and their Sausage & Pepper Arrabiatta. Add their complimentary wi-fi and you’ve got a great excuse to schedule a working lunch or just quickly catch up on Instagram! But we would be doing you a disservice if we filed to mention another great feature that we love at Pasta Vino and that’s their $5 Grey Goose martinis every Wednesday! Perfectly chilled and served to your taste, yum, yum! Pair that with grilled Grouper Florentino and you’ve got a meal to ensure some seriously happy, satisfied vibes! 3. Authentic Indian Cuisine—Madras Chettinaad If you are looking for something a bit more spicy, you can’t go wrong sampling the amazing flavors and textures created at Madras Chettinaad. Head down Old Milton Parkway, and in four minutes—give or take, you’ll be pulling up to the Alpharetta Common Shopping Center (next to Publix) where you can enjoy their superbly spiced and seasoned dishes featuring the flavor profiles of South India. You can choose from seafood, chicken and lamb dishes, or savor their vegetarian curries and dosais. Oh, their dosais! Nom, nom, friends! Madras Chettinaad combines oil and spices like cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom; green and red chilies to add to the taste and aroma in these delicacies. Plus, their weekend lunch buffet is also a huge hit. One TripAdvisor reviewer shared that the “Must have is the goat biryani and malai kofta with butter naan.” That just sounds good just thinking about it, but our all-time favorite is the Lamb Chettinaad which has lamb meat pieces cooked in Vindaloo gravy. 4. It’s always a party at Caribbean Fiesta Heading back over the ocean a little closer to home in terms of distance, is Caribbean Fiesta, featuring a wide assortment of beverages you might order at the beach! Of course, their authentically prepared food is the top draw with dishes we love like conch fritters, Caribbean chicken and shrimp, and their vegetarian dishes like Channa (chickpeas) Vegetable Roti. Hey, we told you it was authentic! Try it for yourself and tell us what you think. 5. Breakfast, brunch, can you say yesssss? First Watch Of course, no list would be complete without a great breakfast place! After all, it’s our favorite meal of the day. Well our favorite FIRST meal of the day. And, we love that we are literally just a stone’s throw (or 1.3 miles if you are driving) from one of the best breakfast spots in Alpharetta, Georgia. First Watch is so wonderful we don’t event know where to start. Yes, we do—bacon! A bacon order comes with four slices of signature hardwood smoked bacon baked with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne and a maple syrup drizzle. Two, please. Pair that with their Carnitas breakfast burrito and Holey Donuts for dessert (yes, you CAN have dessert at breakfast, see?). These are fabulous cinnamon sugar-dusted cake donut holes with chocolate sauce, mixed berry compote and vanilla crème anglaise for dipping. Totally and perfectly healthy in our book. Literally, there are so many fabulous restaurant choices like these and others right around the corner from where you live. Furthermore, if you don’t live here yet, give the team at Belmont Park Bridge a call at 770-762-2644 or stop in today for your own personal tour of our spacious apartment homes. We’re conveniently located just a mile and a half from the GA 400 / Old Milton Parkway interchange, a picturesque suburban retreat at the epicenter of North Fulton’s prestigious business corridor.
Top 5 Tips for Fall Home Décor 2019 at Belmont Park Bridge
As the seasons change, so does our desire to create new and exciting living spaces. Our surroundings are reflective of our mood, and it’s always fun to learn what the experts are predicting and how it can be interpreted for our own home sweet home. We asked the Belmont Park Bridge Idea Specialists® about fall 2019 home trends, how to learn what your unique style is, what’s in and what’s out — and here is what we learned: Check out websites and magazines featuring your favorite designers to decide on the trend-right looks you’ll love this season. One of our favorites is Chip and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia Journal featuring a great article this issue on wabi sabi, the Japanese concept of finding beauty in perfectly imperfect design vignettes and, Joanna’s blog is full of ideas for staying on top of her version of home-style. Not sure of your style-type? Here’s a cool design style quiz you can take to help. (Disclosure – this is linked to a service you will need to eventually pay for, but you can explore your design type for quite a while before the payment option occurs.) Color – there’s a wide spectrum of colors to reach for when choosing a fall 2019 color scheme — Elle Décor rolls out these exciting palates suggesting everything from hunter green, to terra cottas, misty blues to optimistic yellows.

From rugs, to bath towels, and throw pillows to window coverings – accessorizing is the way to go when making seasonal home décor changes! Here’s a slideshow from Elle Décor of what to look for and what to leave behind.

According to Awesome Alpharetta, “Music will flow through the streets as talented artists perform their own songs with soulful melodies, magnificent vocals and expressive lyrics while interacting with the audience. Listeners will learn the stories behind each song and may recognize some of the tunes that are played by their favorite musicians.” The music starts both days at 5:00 p.m. ‘til 10:00 p.m. and will be held across multiple stages throughout downtown Alpharetta. We’re excited to hear Banditos, a six-piece rock and roll band playing country, soul, garage rock and honky tonk. Honky tonk. Just reading those words gets us excited. New this year, Alpharetta’s City Hall will transform the formal City Council Chambers into an intimate listening room. Bet you didn’t see that coming! We’re pumped because this free event is also a tourism winner—it was selected by the Southeast Tourism Society as one of the Top 20 Events in 2018—so we know it’s going to be great again this year. The festival will be held rain or shine and the way our weather has been lately, we’re leaning toward shine. While you’re having all this fun during October, be sure to give the team at Belmont Park Bridge a call at 770-762-2644 or stop in today for your own personal tour of our spacious apartment homes. We’re conveniently located just a mile and a half from the GA 400 / Old Milton Parkway interchange, a picturesque suburban retreat at the epicenter of North Fulton’s prestigious business corridor.
