– Model Homes Tour

4 / 7 / 121 / 19 / 18

Hello friends… Before anything, I want to share with you that today I will have my first guest post. It is going to be on Stardust-decorstyle. I am ecstatic so come on over and drop a line or two 😉 While you are there please don’t forget to check out Olga’s great blog. Olga hails from Greece so she comes with many new original ideas.

So back to Model Homes, last Saturday, the hubby and I were bored so he asked me if I want to check out the new model homes by LENNAR Homes around the corner. Are you kidding me? Do I wanna see model homes? of course I want to. It is like discovering a great blog and hit the “Home Tour” link,  well I think it is vice versa , the blogs are like visiting  real homes 🙂 But you know what I mean right?

I will stop talking and show you the pictures, but I want to let you know that the pictures were taking using my Samsung cell phone camera , of course I can’t walk around with a DSLR camera 🙂

The first home:

On the right is the living room with cream sofa and orange love seat. The color palette as you can see is : Cream , dark brown and orange …like bright orange. even though I’m not a fan of orange but I really liked it, it made the home so cheery and welcoming.
 On the left the dining table and kitchen: I liked that the dining table is round so it can fit 6 people without wasting the space. Did I say how much I love those rattan chairs?
The kitchen with dark brown elegant cabinets was not my favorite. It has white subway tiles back splash which is cool, but I would have preferred if the cabinets went up to the ceiling, so you can make use of every inch in the space and it is always better than collecting dust 😉
As you go up the long and narrow stairs you will see the loft. I love everything in this room from the rattan coffee table, to the Chevron curtains and that antique style movie camera just wow.

To the left, the home office…Guess what I like the most, of course that vintage style vibrant orange color chair LOVE IT.

 

This should be the girl’s bedroom, notice always same colors through out the whole house but you can tell it is the girls bedroom by the 3 big metal flowers on the wall and  the flowers on the curtains ( this can be easily DIYed on any ready made curtains) .

Can be the boy’s bedroom… I love it…I know I am loving everything but this house has very positive energy. It is so colorful ,so Electric, and so Happy…this is the key word …HAPPY. I’m a color person so I cant live without colors.

And finally the Master Suite.

 

NNNNaaaaaaaa I didn’t like it hahhaha ( kidding). I love this chubby chair it is so comfy, I sat on it, you know I have to try it before I make such a big decision and buy the house 😉

I like how they painted the wall with two tones of orange and then framed it, this way the headboard looks  HUGE so the focal point in this room will be the bed ( this can be easily DIYed too). I like also that they used dressers as night stands they way you will have extra storage and who doesn’t like to have extra storage!!! not me



The master bathroom , I know I didn’t take a good picture here this is the only one that I got 🙂 So it was a his and her sinks and a big shower 🙂

So here is the tour for the first model home, I have two questions for you: What is your favorite room and why?assuming the money is not an issue would you buy a model home or would you design your own? Can you have one color palette through out your whole house?

Make sure you come back later to tour the second model home.

DDD Oh C’mon Ladies Im not that naughty ;)

4 / 5 / 121 / 12 / 18
I am proud today to have Taryn from Design Dining & Diapers to be my featured guest post. As you can tell by her blog’s name that Taryn is not only a wonderful designer but a super mom as well. Please take a minute to visit her remarkable blog and read about the amazing designs she did for Baby E ‘s first birthday party.

Hello! I’m Taryn from Design, Dining + Diapers and I’m so honored to be visiting Champagne Taste today!! I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, 12 month old baby girl and our spunky Golden Retriever. When I’m not busy being a mom or part-time PR/Marketing freelancer, you can find me blogging about DIY home decor, crafts, sewing projects, and allergy friendly foods!
Like Rasha, I’m always trying to achieve ‘Champagne Taste’ on a ‘Beer Budget’. I go out of my way to complete a project for a little as possible! It’s one big challenge to me and there is nothing I love more than a challenge and throw a little bit of creativity in the mix and I’m in heaven.
Today, I’m sharing a few projects I’ve completed for pennies, if not less! Hopefully this will inspire you to check out your local thrift stores, dollar stores and discover new possibilities with items already in your home.
DIY chair makeoverFirst up are these worn chairs I purchased at the Goodwill for…$1.30! Can you believe it? After a few coats of paint and new upholstery, they look good as new! (Click here for the full tutorial)
Tea Stained Coffee Filter Wreath
Next up is this tea-stained coffee filter wreath I made for my daughter’s 1st birthday party. The whole wreath only cost me $4.99! The wreath was $2.99 at Hobby Lobby, I purchased a pack of 130 coffee filters and the ribbon at the dollar store and used tea and jewels I already owned. (Click here for the full tutorial)
button magnets
And for those of you who have large button collections, here is one for you! I inherited a huge button collection from my great-grandma (and grandma who doesn’t sew any more). The buttons are just gorgeous and I wanted to find a way to display them in my home. I picked up a pack of magnets and made these decorative button magnets for our fridge! (Click here for the full tutorial)
Besides DIY and craft projects, I also post allergy friendly recipes like these gluten-free blueberry muffins!
blueberry muffins, gluten-free
To see more of my projects you can visit me on Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest! Please come by and say hi, I would love to see what you have been working on too!
Now before you throw away your old buttons or chairs, think twice! You never know what they could become 🙂
Thanks to Rasha for having me over today! It’s been a honor!
