****SPOILER ALERT****there are some inside peeks at the BIA Parade of Homes Houses. Also there is a ticket giveaway at the end of this blog post (pink lemons right?!)
The BIA Parade of Homes is located in Jerome Township at Eversole Run. When you first arrive at this exclusive neighborhood you get an instant feeling of privacy and seclusion. Greg and I love going to the Parade of Homes, last year we missed it. With school and sports starting, we just never made it there. The Foundation home was built by 3 Pillar Homes and I will be doing a separate blog all about what that means and some of the very innovative designs that they have incorporated into this years home.
I want to start by saying that I was thrilled to get a preview into whats to come next week and thought it would be cool to share some sneak peeks with my readers. I also have 4 sets of 2 tickets to give away! (children 12 and under are free, no cash value, and these are not for resale)
The first home to be completed was by Bob Webb Homes, home so I have the most images of it. My first impression walking up to the property was that it is very inviting. I love that it has a really cool breezeway to the carrige garage and a courtyard into the main garage
(It was a cloudy day the day I went so photo Credit for these images go to Bob Webb Homes. How cool is that “Messy Kitchen”!?! I really think that taking it to a full kitchen level makes it so functional for a family that likes to entertain. I know I always miss out on mingling at the end of a meal because the mess is there and you don’t want it in the middle of all the fun happening. With the messy kitchen you can just stick it all back there till the end or even keep the extra pre prepped food back there until you need it.
Check out this master Bath and Closet….seriously! The design is so simple but glam at the same time.
Like this PB Teen Room which is very similar to my boys room. I think Pottery barn kids and PBTeen do a good job of creating fun but classy kids bedding (click the link for purchasing the bedding)
I could go on and one there are so many cool details in this home. You just have to see them all for yourself. Below are my favorite highlights
Here are a few other highlights from the Parade that i really thought were right on trend.
The exterior stone of this Romanelli and Hughes home was actually quite beautiful before it was painted but the white takes it up a notch. I spoke with Brad Hughes for a little while about their process as well as their designer Allen Baker of Baker Designs, LTD. Allen really did a good job bringing the design full circle from the inside all the way out. Wait till you see the back patio area, it’s AMAZING!
This Fan in The 3 Pillar Homes Foundation home was still in heavy construction we I saw it but I think its going to be a real treat to see complete this weekend. I think it looks modern but organic at the same time. I enjoyed chatting with the owner, Zenios about the design and cool features of his home and I will be doing a separate Blog all about it once the parade kicks off.
I was really impressed by the upgraded features in this Arthur Gutenberg Homes House but I only got one inside shot as it was also in heavy construction. Check out the texture on the shower tile, I love the movement in it. Their Director of sales, David Brentley told me that a lot of the details in this home are standard. Once you see it you will find out how crazy that is.
The last house that I went to was the Coppertree Homes Model. Kimberly Woods gave this home a warm cozy feel that I think is very live-able. As a mom of 3 kids I think about function when I’m decorating a space because I don’t want to always be fussing at my boys as they are romping around. I think that it’s fitting that it is the Christmas home as well because the style lends itself to that really well.
Make sure you stop by the BIA Parade of Homes to BE INSPIRED.
