Model Home Crashing

Don't you love looking in other people's homes?  My mom and I stopped into a model home the other day in a neighborhood they are looking to purchase a home in.  There were definitely things I would have done differently, but that's just my opinion.  I've noticed that a lot of times model homes are overdone or a little over the top.  I guess maybe that's the intention?  Nonetheless, it was fun to look around and find some cute ideas.  Pardon the cell phone pictures, this was an impromptu visit so I didn't have my "real" camera with me.

Love the chairs in this dining room and the placement of the three wicker balls, the wall treatment is a little much for me.




I've always loved the look of these ceilings, adds so much to a room...




Nothing really special about this room, I think the walls would have been better left solid, minus the swirls.


and this one, I just wasn't feeling the spots, reminds me of a petri dish or something.  Overall the room had a nice beachy feel to it but I feel like that just ruined it.




I thought this was a pretty assortment of mirrors


loved this ceiling...











I loved the idea of this lantern as a bathroom light, especially in a nautical bathroom




So what do you think?  Do you like wandering in model homes for inspiration?

  5. All those swirls and spots made me dizzy! lol Absolutely not my style. But that baseball bedroom, so cute! I love looking at model homes, though most in my area are just ho-hum.
