Model Home Tour | Interior Design

I'm headed over to the model home. I'm so excited to show you because it's been a several month project that the JV's team has been working on. I'm very excited that the Jones Company hired us to decorate this model. We decorated it from top to bottom. So we're here at the Jones Company model home. Let's go on in. So we're in the entryway of the model home and I tell you one of the things I love about this model home is the floor plan. Now in this hallway you'll notice they took the wings coating up pretty high which made that pretty tricky for me to try to find some artwork to fit above it but found one and quite happy. All right let me show you the guest room first. Come on back here. Okay this is the guest room. Now as in with every project there's a budget so that's where I'm going to try to think through where do I need to spend my money, where do I need to save it. The bedding ensemble actually is a home goods find and I pulled several things together. In fact the really dark pillows that you see here are just regular throw pillows but I thought it pulled very well together. The furniture was another place that I saved. I found a dresser and a night stand on Facebook Marketplace and I chalk painted it blue to match within the design that I'm doing in this room. And then for the headboard this is a magnolia home piece. Love the wood tone color and you'll notice I found two pictures that have the same kind of wood tone in there. So I wanted this room to be comfortable for guests so let's head to the guest bathroom and let me show you a few things in there. So instead of having a builder grade just square mirror I went and found this mirror at Lowe's and for a guest bathroom just kind of keep things minimal but yeah you want your guests to feel that it's a really kind of cozy and happy place. Artwork, plants, and some special hand soap are the perfect thing. So now that you've seen the guest bedroom I'm going to show you the man's office and it's kind of one of my favorite rooms. Just love the rich color in here. This is actually a buffet but because it was black with gold it paired so beautifully with the artwork and it's a great place to hide all of the office work. When I'm adding accessories to any room I really like unique things that you just can't find anywhere and where I'm going to go is the flea market and usually my daughter Sarah and daughter-in-law Alice trail along with me. I found an old old ledger book at the flea market. I just love it. I just think what history is with this. I also found these antique brass elephants and mama and a baby. So on the bookshelf we have old and new. Again a flea market find. Some old metal trays. These are some new accessories but kind of still keeping the theme of a manly room and if he's working and he's wondering what time it is this is just 60 inches. But anyway I thought you don't need anything else on the wall. This looks stunning. One of my favorite things about this model home is the open floor plan. Let's check out the living room. So for the furniture layout in the living room is pretty easy. The builder put a tv above the mantel so we placed the couch facing the tv and then a love seat facing the patio and then just one chair right here. What's so great about this room is the open light, the open windows. There's just a great view no matter where you sit. Now when I notice with clients with living rooms they struggle they do a great job picking their furniture. I find where the struggle is is choosing maybe some of the smaller tables and then accessories. So I always lean towards adding a little greenery and some candles and I love books. Just keep it simple and uncluttered. The definite wow factor of this home is the dining room and kitchen area. We were able to place an 84 inch table in the dining room. I have eight Parsons chairs sitting around it and these Parsons chairs are so adorable with the little boat that's on the back. For the buffet I chose a black buffet. Everything doesn't have to be matchy-matchy in a room. What I love about this buffet is that it's extra tall and given the height of this room it's perfect. I put simple accessories on top, a mirror and two buffet lamps with mercury glass that just looks stunning off of the black. I know you've probably heard me say before but one place to put money is definitely in your drapes. These drapes are velvet. They're completely yummy with a beautiful white tape on the end and we took them very high up on the wall. One of the wonderful things about this kitchen is this huge bar area. It seats six. How great is this when you have a party and you have guests at this table and this is a perfect place to put kids. I mean easy cleanup. I love again the openness of this kitchen. It's so well lit. Beautifully, beautifully styled. I love the white marble and then for the backsplash these are just subway tiles but they're beveled. Just a little bit of an upgrade from just your normal subway tiles. A really neat unique DIY that you can do in your kitchen. I have a friend, she has I believe it's called a cricket. I sent her this logo and she cut it out and painted it on this cutting board and we put it in the corner. It's a great way to add a little bit of style in your kitchen. Now for the windows, this would be a great place if you wanted to add some color or powder but I wanted to keep these monochromatic so I just have these. They're called relaxed roman shades made. The brilliancy on them was we just put them on a tension rod and it just added a softness in the kitchen. I want to show you the master bedroom but before I do, these were another find from the flea market. Two really cool narrow windows fit perfectly in the spot. I just added a command hook and two little candle rings. Perfect. I'm a huge believer that the master bedroom needs to be uncluttered and clean and it's your retreat from the world. In this design that I did, did beautiful bedding with an upholstered headboard and then two nightstands and a dresser that matched and I put a bench at the end of the bed. I find a lot of husbands love a bench at the end of the bed because that's where they want to put their shoes on. At my house, it's where the puppies jump on the bed. I also placed a casual chair over here for sitting and reading. I made another floral in here again in a really unique mercury glass container that I actually found at home goods and then for the ceiling, I asked the builder to put some raw wood just to give me another texture in this room. Okay, another cool feature that the builder added to this... That was so sad. That's the saddest thing. What's happening? Forget it. It was cool, okay? Yesterday. Come on into the master bathroom. Great marriage saver is to have two vanities way far away from each other. Pull yourself together. We also had room to put a bench in here and then I love the freestanding tub of course and then I found this really cool heavy stool and just placed a towel and a free bar of soap on it. So we're upstairs. I placed a huge picture up here that looks great when you're in the bonus room as well as when you're coming up the stairs. I always say the bonus room is where you can really have a little bit of fun and of course living right outside of Nashville, this model home is located in Franklin, so I wanted to pull a little bit of that into this design. I found an old guitar, an old steel guitar, and then this really cool old piece. I don't even know what it was used for but I loved it. So against this wall, I placed a sofa table and I had a fun little craft project. I went online on Etsy and I ordered a map of Nashville that was kind of already a little bit yellow and old and then what I did, I modged podged it onto... I had my husband cut out a piece of wood that fit the exact size of the map and I modged podged it on there and so then it had wrinkles in it, so I took an exacto knife and kind of cut it open, re-modged podged it on, darkened the edges, and the last thing I did was I took a little bit of acrylic brown paint, mixed it up, added a little water, and dropped it onto that map to look as if it was in the old days. It was on the desk and they spilled their coffee on it. Turned out cool, very cheap DIY. You may recognize this clock from my office. Again, love the clock, especially the big ones. So for up here in the seating, I have slip covered couch and loveseat. Zippers on the back, easy maintenance. Then I went on Etsy again, found a Hank Williams poster and another Ryman Auditorium poster. Had framed and matted exactly the same and I love how the reds pull off of the dark blue of the wall. And then in the corner, I just placed a very simple game table. Some people watching TV, some people can play games. Another one of our favorite rooms, this was the teen girl room. I actually did a whole nother video on it, but picking the paint color in here, I went through probably five or six different pinks until I found this beautiful light lush pink color. Again, had beautiful drapes made, simple chair in the corner and just simple bedding. So this is a Jack and Jill bathroom. Kept it very simple again. Now the shower curtain, I could not find any shower curtains that were long enough because I wanted to have the rod really high. So we got a shower curtain and Alice actually sewed some fabric onto the bottom. This is the teen boy room. Kept it a little bit industrial, bedding simple, blue and white with a little bit of red on the bottom. I went to Etsy. Let me tell you, if you're wanting something unique in your house, go to Etsy. There are some great artisans on there and I took the logo from the high school and she actually had this stitched onto the pillow. I thought it looked stunning. For this wall decor and design, I found some old boxing gloves, another flea market find and then I went online and found Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali poster, had it framed, made a great little wall decor. So I want to thank the Jones Company for hiring JD's to decorate this model home. I want to thank my entire family and staff because it was, it took a village to get this all put together. I hope you enjoyed this video. Please subscribe to my channel because I'm going to have a lot more videos out later and I hope you have a great day.
