Went to Parade of Homes again this year
Comments (19)I visited a few Parade Homes here in FL. I saw a few with a modern feel - melamine cabinets in dark colors, 24x12 plank looking tile, light colored stacked stone fireplaces and accent walls. I didn't see any granite except in the custom homes. Most of the ones we visited were from the production builders so they use a "Design Center" for clients to pick out their floors, tile etc...So, there was alot of the same engineered flooring in the homes. Mostly dark wood, hand-scraped. If I played with the kitchen cabinet doors and drawers, they were not soft close...that would be an "upgrade." There were mostly raised panel hollow doors. Alot of carpet (saves $$) and the trend was longer strand carpet in dark colors or patterned carpets with a few colors. Master bathrooms were large with larger all-glass walk-in showers. Tubs were very, very tiny as mentioned above. Some had those "all in one" built in tub/shower units...very low cost and it shows! Most homes play tricks and remove the doors to closets and bathrooms to make those rooms bigger. If you actually looked and thought about it, it would be very difficult to get into some of the smaller bathrooms and close the door without hitting yourself! Very few had walk-in closets. I still saw jack n jill bathrooms....I felt like that trend is old, but I think it works if you have same sex children. Pavers were everywhere! One house had them in the garage too! It made me wonder if they had a big foundation crack they had to hide! Overall, the custom homes were by far the most creative and you could see the quality was head and shoulders above the production built homes. One had a starting price of $450,000, but with all the upgrades on a small lakefront lot, it was $1M! Very surprising when the upgrades are things that should come with each and every home! I have always loved the parade and will probably continue to go for the fun of looking at houses. It never tires me to look at houses!! It helps with ideas etc...

Comments (6)There were some neat libraries, in that group. I couldn't handle books as flooring though. Nope, ain't nobody going to walk on our books. When in the planning stages of our home, I made some changes so the formal dining room could be used as a home library. My hubby uses it as his home office. The back wall, corners and about half of the sides along with one the wall between the front windows, are filled with built in bookcases. I recently took over the Ladies Parlor that was rarely used and turned it into my home office with three free standing bookcases. I stacked by books so I could use two of them for CDs, old photos and converted one into a computer desk for my old desktop. I love having my own "library" of sorts....See MoreBagnato Architecture & Interiors
