Calgon, are you there?

We know that the five-year old and under crowd love a good bath. But we are curious about the other 80% of your household residents. Does anyone really use these tubs? The homebuilders seem to think it is up for debate, despite finding one in every master suite.

Here are some from Coppertree, Duffy/Michael Edwards, M/I Homes, Stafford and Compass. We didn’t get a photo of the only iron tub we saw at Romanelli & Hughes’ home – but they seem to be the only one ambitious enough to lug it upstairs to their master.

Imelda would be very comfortable here.

After a tour this week of each house, we were wondering, who has the largest closets, especially in the master suites? We think it might be a race between Lakewood, M/I Homes and Romanelli. This one taken at Lakewood might be in the running for the gold… but it will be close.

Spectacular tile, granite and more.

These photos, taken at Duffy/Michael Edwards, Romanelli & Hughes and Stafford’s homes demonstrate the really amazing finishes that the homebuilders are choosing for this year’s parade. We’ll be sharing a lot more of these details every day between now and the parade. Make sure to check back often – and plan to come in July!

Four layered wall work

Faux painter in the Gossing home. This is step one of a four layer process.

On a visit to the site this morning a faux painter was caught in the act at the Gossing home. She was just starting her work so the wall had a rather splochy look. But she interrupted her work long enough to explain her process and to show me a sample of what it will eventually look like.

A sample of the finished product shows that the walls will have an embossed design as well as a rustic old look.
