Model Homing

May 11, 2010 by Amy

Saturday for no good reason whatsoever we went to a new nearby neighborhood and walked through several houses that were being built.  The kids were fascinated by the two story houses.  In one of them, the kids realized there was another flight of stairs on the second story which led to a 3rd story (obvs) that had 2 more bedrooms on it.  The house had SEVEN bedrooms in all!  It was like a small hotel!  I have been in one of the largest homes in Charlotte and even it did not have so many bedrooms (although it DID have 2 full kitchens, a full movie theater, bar, dance floor, wine cellar, etc, etc).

Anyway, so we ended up going in the model home and it was so cute!  The kids LOVED this bonus/theater room on the second floor.

You know I love orange so I thought this boy’s room was so cute.

And the girls were IN LOVE with this room across the hall

From above, you can see the super cute living room and sunroom. I just love those round mirrors above the fireplace.  I love all the green!!

And this downstairs master bedroom is speaking my language with all the green and black!

After that model home, we ended up going in another development across the street with a new builder.  We walked in a house that was nearly done.  The hardwoods are hiding under all the cardboard.  Scott absolutely fell in love with the floor plan.  We have batted around the idea of building one day and this open floor plan is exactly what he had in mind.  There is an office directly to your left when you walk in and then there is this open dining room.

And then that living room is open to this kitchen. The back wall is lined with windows and it’s just our style!

Scott had me take pictures just so we could remember.  Well.  We ended up going in the model home in that neighborhood and what do you know it is the same floor plan!   Here is the dining room:

If you know us, you’ll know this is right up our alley!  This house actually had a second story that had 4 bedrooms and a large seating area and then a third story with a movie theater and bedroom/exercise room.  This house was way more house than we need but it sure was fun to walk through!

    We used to go look at model homes every Sunday after church when I was a kid. Looking back, it was probably because my mom was an interior designer and she was getting ideas. I just though it was massively fun to play in all the rooms.

    The last home with the open floorplan… beautiful!
