Sure, there are bound to be stressful days and sleepless nights as your mind spins with worry. But come moving day, it’s as if all those concerns fade into a distant memory.
As you unpack that first box, you’re instantly transported back to the moment you first stepped into the model home. Ahhh, the model home. Everything felt perfect. Everyone loved everything about it. Everyone could see themselves living there.
“But how do they know me so well?” you wonder, as you sink into what might just be the most comfortable sofa you’ve ever experienced.
Getting you in that perfect sofa, in that perfect space, surrounded by nothing you’d want to change. That’s when the gas is turned to high heat, and the real cooking begins in any new construction community.
Think back to a time when you were asked to cook for a group. Some were kids. Some were adults. And of course, a sprinkling of picky teens. "What am I going to do?" you wonder. "How on earth can I make something that everyone likes?" Now you’re starting to think like we do when we begin the recipe for our next model home.
The biggest hurdle? Accepting that your model might not be everyone’s cup of tea. And that’s okay.
It’s like baking the perfect pie—golden crust, just the right filling—and still seeing a few uneaten crusts left on plates. It’s bound to happen.
Accept it, move on, and start preparing for the next course.
We do have one advantage over your kitchen: research. While you're trying to remember if Uncle Jim still has that peanut allergy and whether little Sarah needs something gluten-free, we’re busy gathering the ingredients that matter most, researching local neighborhoods, analyzing buyer demographics, and distilling design trends.
You're hoping for crowd-pleasers. We're curating the main course.
We meet with our design team, bring them everything we know, and let them work their magic. Because when done right, a model home doesn’t just impress, it connects. It’s welcoming. It feels like you.
And that? That’s the secret ingredient. And it doesn’t happen without breaking a lot of eggs. Design firms aim to keep us on trend. We’re focused on making sure the buyer profile is the star of the show. That back-and-forth in the early days is constant. But it is necessary. Because a great model isn’t just about putting trendy pieces together, it’s about building a space where everything works in harmony. We don’t want a table full of mismatched dishes. We want a symphony of flavors. Each room complementing the next, no sour notes, no distractions. From the ceiling down to the floor, every inch is intentional. It’s more than furniture and accessories. Each room is reviewed, studied, and designed to tell a story. To connect. To feel just right. And when we hit that note, when the story unfolds naturally as you walk from one room to the next, that’s when we know the recipe is ready to be served. Paint colors. Furniture placement. Lighting fixtures. Even how a magazine is displayed on a coffee table. Every detail is studied, reviewed, and refined.
We are the culmination of the perfect soufflé—slowly rising over the course of many months. Building a home that feels like everyone’s home. And like a soufflé, it’s delicate. We ride the same highs and lows our buyers do. That light fixture we’ve waited months to, see? Suddenly discontinued. That paint color we loved? Backordered. But there’s no time for a pity party. We can’t let our soufflé fall. So, we pivot. We reselect. We keep the energy moving, always with our eye on the finished product.
Because when it all comes together when every detail sings, and that story unfolds room by room, you don’t just see the home.
You feel it.
Hundreds of hours. Countless pages of painting schedules, layouts, revisions, re-selections, and everything in between. All to bring our home to life. It’s a non-stop focus, from before the first piece of dirt is moved, until the final pillow is fluffed. We want you to love it. And then some. But even more than that, we want you to remember it.
Before we’ve said our last goodbye. Before the dishwasher has even started. We want something to stay with you. Maybe you’re one of the people who wouldn’t change a thing. Maybe you only liked half of what you saw. Maybe just one detail stood out, but it lingered.
No matter which category you fall into, we want you to leave feeling and remembering something.
