Model Home Envy

HERE IS ONE OF THE LATEST MODEL HOMES I GOT TO WORK IN.  I LOVE ALL OF THE LATEST PRODUCTS THAT CUSTOM MODEL HOME BUILDERS CAN SHOW OFF, STARTING WITH THE BEAUTIFUL BUILT-IN TWO WAY FIREPLACE THAT CAN BE VIEWED INDOORS AND OUT!

Checkout this double groin vault ceiling highlighted with a beautiful golden glaze!

Here is a wall to wall built-in with wine bar, copper sink and mirrored back splash.

Awesome arches throughout!

Love the marble counter tops, the double french doors to the courtyard, brick fireplace with TV niche and ceiling beams.

The entertaining kitchen!

A closer look at the beautiful vent hood and tile backsplash.

A closer look!

Love the up lighting, under lighting and cabinet lighting all reflected with mirrors! 

The dining room complete with wine vault.

And more ceiling beams.

How about a built-in for the bed complete with nightstands and bookcases?

And on the other side of the two-way fireplace is this secluded courtyard!

Wall of Roses

Here is a wall in my courtyard that I plan to completely cover in roses!  I have purchased American Beauty and Peggy Martin Antique Roses from The Antique Rose Emporium out of Brenham, Texas.  Mail Orders @ https://www.antiqueroseemporium.com/

I planted my very first antique climbing rose to grow over a trellis last year and so far it is doing wonderfully!  It almost completely covered the trellis in one season!  Even a novice like myself can grow these roses. I may be overzealous trying to tackle an entire wall, but I am going to give it a go!  Stay tuned!!

This is a section of my Courtyard wall I plan to cover in roses

This is just one season's growth over my trellis!

THIS is my goal!

Get the idea??

I plan to cover the wall with this AMERICAN BEAUTY rose

And this PEGGY MARTIN antique rose

My ultimate goal is to have FRESH FLOWERS in my home all summer long!

WISH ME LUCK! 

Exterior color!

 Hmmmm.....What are your favorite colors in the garden??!!  I'm going for hot pink this year, but I could easily do an all white, a blue, peach, yellow......uh, so many choices!   Nothing like spring to get one motivated to start thinking of garden color schemes....

 

Happy Easter

Ever since I was a little girl I always loved Easter time.  I loved looking at pretty churches, stained glass windows, wearing Easter bonnets, seeing flowers in bloom and hunting for Easter baskets filled with chocolate bunnies and colored eggs!  Today these images continue to conjure up the spirit of Easter and all that it means.  Happy Easter!
