Spice Up Your Breakfast Nook

A great place to begin your day is in one of our beautiful breakfast nooks.  Many of our models come standard with breakfast nooks designed just for you. If you want to see what I'm talking about, check out the photos in our Focus on Spring Arbor series highlighting the Dalton and the Wyatt.

Our new models at Champions' Club are also good places to find breakfast nooks to suit your lifestyle! You can check them out in our Focus on Champions' Club series highlighting the Kipling and the Doral.

Lighting

I know to some it may be boring but I think that lighting fixtures are a major part of a home's decor. For many of our buyers, they have not decided on lighting for a whole house in many, many years (if ever). For that reason, I thought that I would show off our standard fixtures from each of our lines - and additionally point out some of the options that we offer that I particularly like.

First up is lighting from the Kichler which is available at The Courtyards at Brandywine and The Preserve at Lamplighter.

Many of our buyers find that the clean lines of our included options is exactly what they are looking for in their new home. And they come in three finishes to fully make it your own.

 

 

We also love the Lacey collection. It is a full line so you could do a whole home, or just pick and choose. We will actually be putting this entire line in the Shannon model at Brandywine to show it off. Here are a couple of pieces.

 

 

 



Some others that I like:

Circolo, Pottery Barn-look



Hayman Bay, an antique white finish in just a room or two would be beautiful

Maybe not that practical, but pretty fabulous!
