A "Traditional" Dream Home

I had the privilege of working together with Glen & Tina Watson on their dream home! An absolutely beautiful home it was! Many of the features they implemented into this dream home, are features that I absolutely LOVED!!! I worked with Tina on all the Carpets you will see in the house. Tina worked very hard on this house, trying to make sure that everything flowed together. She started out with general ideas and then as she slowly made selections, worked her way through it all, making sure each selection worked with the next. All her paint purchases were off the "oops" rack, the granite counter tops in the bathrooms were discounted or clearanced slabs, and light fixtures were clearanced. If the purchase she made was a slightly different color or look than what she originally was hoping for, she would work hard to blend everything together. For this reason, we made several carpet color choices before the final ones, as the paint colors changed a little after she purchased the paint or other factors that played a part in the different rooms. Tina's statement to me several times was that she wanted it to be "spectacular" and "like a museum, with everything looking perfect". I believe her dream has come true for her and the family. They were able to build a fabulous home reasonably and personally! They absolutely LOVE their house, which is what everyone, who had a part in putting together all the pieces, wants to hear, right? Many times, along the way, Tina would run her ideas by me for an additional opinion, but I must say, for having done all the leg work herself, she did a fabulous job! Here is a peek into their dream home and maybe it will trigger some ideas for a future dream house of your own, as it did for me! :) Enjoy!
