Beautiful Thing: Model Home Tours
One of my favorite things to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon is to go and tour the new construction model homes in the area. Besides getting some awesome decorating ideas, it’s fun just to dream.
I’ve picked up ideas for the latest paint trends and window treatments. Have you noticed that most model homes have neutral paint color, and it’s often the same- or similar- color throughout the house?
Then there’s those fun kid’s rooms. There’s usually an untra- girly girl’s bedroom and a themed boy’s room or a nursery. My kids love seeing the creatively decorated kid’s rooms.
The basements are usually finished, giving me ideas for our own basement playroom. We saw one home with a mini basketball court in the playroom. Very cute!
If you’re into home décor, touring model homes is a fun way to spend an afternoon. And best of all, it’s free!
