Model Homes in Orange County and Shopping


I went through some model homes
while I was in Orange County ....

   
One of my favorite things to do...

They had some great ideas...










 This was one large ottoman.. 














The backyards were small, but great for entertaining... 












I love this idea of a step down seating area...












This was a courtyard in the center of the house...













One of my favorite chairs....
Its made by Noir...



 


Ya know...
 I'm not a fan of flat screens on the wall...

Someone has got to design a television that looks pretty...

It's not just about function...

I'm sure my husband will be rolling his eyes over this one... 
























While I was shopping in Orange county I saw this  adorable chair at Crate and Barrel...
I believe they were $399.00 each.








I like the gray and white chair better...

 





It was fun to see my sons beer at the market in Orange County...
I'm sure people were wondering why this crazy women was taking pictures of beer and all excited about it...
It all comes down to one thing...

PROUD MAMA!

  4. Julie,
    Congratulations to your son. Our youngest has been a huge micro brewing beer enthusiast and he and a friend have been home brewing a few different kinds of beer. I'm going to pick up a bottle or two of Saint Archer for him.
    I love the Noir black framed chair. Where are these models? I live in OC and would love to have a look, I haven't been on a tour of model homes in ages. I hear the new models by Irvine Meadows Amphitheater are supposed to be worthwhile.
    xo,

  6. Model homes are warehouses full of ideas!!! I had the fortune in my "previous life" to have been a New Construction Realtor. It was a fun, inspiring job!

  7. We're in the same camp when it comes to flat screen TV's - somehow the men in our families like them very big but there's no inexpensive way to hid them!

  10. Congrats to your son! Great ideas here today:) I like the outdoor entertaining areas. We are really trending towards blending the outside with the inside (and inside with the outside!) The t.v. is a problem. We are starting a home reconstruction and attempting to figure out a way around that.. not an easy task.

  21. It's totally out of my imagination. The most happy matter is that i was able to make my tour to your super loving Orange county home reveal. The house and decoration details you prescribed in this article were incomparable. Love your sweet presentation. My aspiration was to pick up some helpful article to make my choose on the issue of buying ceiling tiles and wall panels for our home. I already found some of. But your excellent post brought a different taste to me. Love it.
