Exceeding expectations at Evolve

As our name suggests, here at Evolve Companies, we believe in constant growth and change. Part of that evolution includes identifying potential challenges and working our magic to overcome them! We at Evolve know that change is inevitable. So we work hard to figure out the best shifts to implement in order to ensure we’re exceeding expectations as a company. Want to get to know one of the people who makes it all possible at Evolve? Keep reading—we’ve got the spotlight on our very own COO, Michael Spafford!

Evolve Spotlight: Our COO

Michael Spafford and other Evolve employees looking at plans in conference room

In 2023, we welcomed Michael Spafford to the team as Evolve’s COO. For over 33 years, Michael has been involved in the construction of multi-family projects in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions. His experience working with companies to help identify and execute points for growth is part of what brought him onto our radar.

Before his COO role at Evolve, Michael helped a small contractor firm grow and re-establish themselves following a lapse in successorship. His eye-catching work immediately grabbed Evolve’s attention. Because Evolve is a company always looking for ways to improve our work and structure, Michael’s eye for finding areas of growth was something we knew we wanted.

Ready to grow at Evolve

Michael spent his first few months as Evolve’s COO observing our procedures. From there, he developed our Operational Solutions Plan. After diving into the challenges Michael identified and solutions he presented, we knew we were ready to grow.

Our biggest priority at Evolve became expanding our team. To ensure each member of our team can focus on their strengths and specialized tasks, we’re implementing the plan Michael drew up to recruit and hire new staff members. Since November 2023, Evolve has hired 25+ new employees to multiple projects. This has immensely improved the quality of our work, our community, and the communities we are so proud to be involved in!

We’re grateful to Michael for being the (r)evolutionary COO that he is, and we’re excited to see what he does next at Evolve!

We’ve Been Featured! Business of Distinction in Wilmington, NC

Evolve as a Business of Distinction in 2024

Here at Evolve, we pride ourselves on being a company that builds communities for people who live outside the box. We know your home is where it all happens, so we want it to feel unique—just like you—and our hope is that we can bring that same vibe into everything we do!

We started 2024 with the absolute honor of being recognized as a Business of Distinction in Wilmington, NC! Wrightsville Beach Magazine featured Evolve Companies in their amazing Green Spaces article, highlighting the plants we have at the center of our design—both in our Wilmington headquarters and at our communities.

The power of plants can lift the mood in any space—so what better place for plants that double as art than in a workspace? And the plants don’t even need to be real to elevate the environment! Amanda Lisk with Wrightsville Beach Magazine wrote, “Whether real or faux, adding plants to a room elevates the aesthetic, the mood, and the oxygen level when live. Plants just make everything better,” and we totally agree.

In our Wilmington headquarters, we’ve added lush (sometimes faux) plants wherever possible—from table centerpieces to stunning artwork framed on the walls.

Thanks to our friends at The Coastal Succulent, Evolve’s Wilmington headquarters has come to life with plants that set us apart—literally with our 8-foot gorilla topiary in the courtyard. Shawna Raines, our Development/Marketing Coordinator shared with the magazine that people who see the gorilla from the street even stop to take photos with it.

Keeping things fresh at Evolve communities

Part of our commitment to evolve the way you live is by keeping things fresh in our communities! One of our newer projects, Oceans RV Resort, is a different take on your typical RV park. This isn’t your basic spot to camp for the night!

As unique as Oceans RV Resort is, we wanted to bring the aesthetic to life with plants. Framed plant artwork and centerpieces dispersed throughout the resort are sure to catch your eye!

RV and van life in the United States just keeps growing—so we’re evolving with it! Over 11.2 million households in the country own an RV, and they have to park somewhere, right?!

Holly Ridge is just inland from some of the most beautiful beaches in the state—Surf City, Topsail, and North Topsail. Only a ten-minute drive from the coast, Oceans RV Resort is the ideal destination for anyone visiting the area. With awesome local attractions close by, like Permuda Island Coastal Reserve and EMA Touch Tank Aquarium, you’ll never get bored—even on rainy days. Plus, the park is just a few minutes away from several grocery stores, making it easy to stock up on all your campfire favorites before settling in!

A Unique Evolution

Choose Your Adventure

Pantone’s Viva Magenta: Decorate Your Home on Trend in 2023

How to Use Pantone’s Color of the Year in Your Home

Here at Evolve, we’re all about bringing your space to life so that it feels like a home. If you love color as much as we do, get ready for Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023. Viva Magenta is bringing fresh new meaning to the words bright and bold this year. According to Pantone, this rich shade of red has undertones of pink found in nature—think ripe berries and deep pink flowers. Feeling inspired to bring Pantone’s Color of the Year into your home this year? Check out these ideas for decorating your home on trend in 2023.

Paint it Red

Ready to make a statement? Go full throttle with an accent wall or even an entire room coated in Viva Magenta. Paired with neutral furniture, your bright red wall will really make a splash. You might also look for wallpaper with pops of magenta like this fun print from Anthropologie or this bold design with deep shades of berry.

Go Big and Go Bold

evolve pantone viva magenta blog bright velvet chair

Nothing screams committed like a big and bold Viva Magenta velvet chair. We love adding texture to a space, and velvet is always a favorite to incorporate. This red velvet tufted armchair from Overstock will add character wherever it goes in your home. Feeling really brave? Consider a Viva Magenta sofa or loveseat in your living room instead.

Throw In Some Pillows

If you like to mix up your décor often, try adding magenta throw pillows into the rotation. What about your bedding and bathroom towels? The beauty of things like throw pillows, sheets, and linens is that they can be switched up as often as your heart desires—every year, every season, or simply whenever you’re craving new energy in your home. We’re loving this geometric floral bedding and these Viva Magenta Orchid pillows on Etsy.

Roll Out the Red Carpet

bright magenta area rug evolve pantone blog

Bring some warmth to your space with a Viva Magenta area rug. Keep it subtle with hints of red or really bring the heat with a bolder rug. This is a great option if you’re the type of person who likes to change your décor often. Keep what you’ve got in terms of furniture and consider switching out your area rugs when you’re ready to shake things up.

A Home with Art

Unique art is the perfect way to liven up your walls without going all-in with paint or wallpaper. We love this magenta and gold abstract print from Wayfair. Want something with texture? Check out this deep-fuchsia-dyed feather arrangement from Z Gallerie. For art you can customize, we’re loving this 3-piece Matisse Viva Magenta printable from Etsy.

Keeping Things Fresh

viva magenta candlesticks evolve blog pantone

If you’re not in the mood to make any major changes to your space, there are so many beautiful pieces of smaller décor you can add to what you’ve got. Remember that even the smallest pieces can make a big statement. Think candles (like these at Anthropologie), stoneware in your kitchen (like this stunning set at Home Depot), or flower arrangements (like this flawless bouquet from the Floral Design Institute).

How are you decorating your home with Pantone’s Color of the Year?

Fall Wreath Ideas to Spice Up Your Autumn Décor

Spice Up Your Autumn Décor With These Wreath Ideas

It’s hard to believe we’re already fully in the fall season! Here at Evolve, we want your apartment to feel like a home, and what better way than by embracing autumn?! No matter your style or vibe, there are so many fun ways to decorate your apartment home for the fall. Check out these 5 fall wreath ideas we love to spice up your autumn décor this season!

Natural & Neutral

We’re all about this simple neutral wreath from Pottery Barn. Apart from being pre-lit, this idea would be an easy one to replicate! The natural vibe the branches create makes it perfect for any home. We love it with the white pumpkins, gourds, and leaves, but you can add in any pops of color that go well with your décor!

Keep It Traditional

traditional gold and brown fall wreath evolve blog

We love this Williams-Sonoma wreath that epitomizes the sunset hues of autumn! If you’re into more of the traditional fall foliage and color palette, this beauty is the way to go. Golden wheat, orange and brown leaves, and yellow wildflowers make for a stunning fall wreath to spice up your décor.

Citrus & Spice & Everything Nice

Nothing says the holiday season quite like the scent of citrus and cinnamon. Incorporating these delicious smells into your fall wreath will certainly spice up your front door décor! Get creative with your fruit—you don’t even have to stick with citrus. Apples, oranges, lemons, and quince will all make for a yummy feast for the eyes!

Dark & Woodsy

pheasant feather woodsy fall wreath evolve blog

We’re really diggin’ this dark, woodsy wreath from Williams-Sonoma. With deep plum tones, pheasant feathers, and dried pomegranate, it’s the perfect wreath to get you in an autumnal mood. You can also add in some pinecones and spruce twigs to make it even woodsier!

Minimalist Magic

Looking for a wreath with more of a modern twist? We really love that you can use anything as a base for your fall wreath, and it doesn’t have to be super busy! Try starting with a metal hoop or even a geometric shape and add anything you want to just one portion. The sweet simplicity of this pinecone and eucalyptus wreath from this stunning Etsy shop is such a great option!
