More model home pics.....

come on in, and we'll look at more Model home pics! Sure makes me want to go back again! This is a tile "rug" inset into the hardwood floor......handsome!



This house had a library at the top of the stairs...it was lovely!


Some drapery pics.... I always love to look at the window treatments!










This is the house that had black, white and green throughout the bottom floor, various treatments of black and white, and shades of green.
Here is a shot of the bath....











A sunroom, or small living room...


These are cool window treatments in a very pretty dining room!






And another bath......



Hope you've enjoyed the tour!

Some lovely bedrooms.....

Today I will show you some of the lovely bedrooms we saw on the model home tour. Some were VERY interesting! Think one would tire of this quickly? (You can click on all the images to see the detail.)




This bed had panels behind it with wall papers squares......interesting application, but I think I wouldn't choose it.
this was interesting; that's mosaic tile above the headboard, and the panels of fabric are mock windows. Just panels of fabric, no windows behind them.......I didn't get the mosaic tile there......I would have preferred a transom window there.



College bound????



This one rather contemporary, but I do love the green, white and black. They had graduated colors of green on the wall...three shades. The whole house, downstairs, was shades of green, and the black and white carried throughout.


Love the toile in this room....




A fun girls room:




Isn't this a lovely master suite?
Loved the blue and the white, and I loved how they had these prints hanging above the wicker bed!!


this was a lovely guest room, too; love the black furniture. It was such an inspiration going through these model homes....of course, people didn't live there, so they were nice and clean and uncluttered!!! :-)

Wow, what a day.....

We celebrated Allison's 18th birthday today with a special meal at home....She had asked for coconut shrimp, and her birthday dessert, rather than a birthday cake, was Tiramisu. It has been her favorite for a while now. So I made it for the first time, and I'm glad to report it wasn't tiramasoup! I was worried it would be runny. At least it was in a Trifle bowl, so it was ok to spoon out, rather than cut squares. It would not have been stiff enough for that. But it was tasty! She had asked for something else but it will have to wait until the control panel of the oven is working again. Well, it did have a problem after all, even though I was able to bake in it. NOW it is stuck in the cleaning cycle, and will be repaired on Wednesday, hopefully.


As for the model homes, we saw some really nice ones. I had two favorite features stand out. One was a shower that was like a walk through, with TWO shower heads. Totally cool! And the other feature that I thought was genius was a small closet right past the water closet, underneath the staircase. It was a cedar lined closet!! A bright idea, I thought.....so I'll show you a few pics. They didn't even really care; just let us roam through the houses while they stayed at their desks....nice!

We did see a lot of upholstered headboards.....and some drapery ideas that I will share over the next few days....I took 82 pictures, so I have more to share!!!!

Remember this is an area that has a Polo field, so many of the houses had an equestrian flair to them......Here's the double shower, although you can't see that there is another shower head. And a ledge for sitting.......oh, how cool is that????Behind this tub is the double shower.....
this was the floor of the master bath........so really nice tile accents in this bath. I'll have more to post for another day. Have a good one, y'all!!
