The Parade Of Homes Is On Now http://jilltran.com/blog/2010/10/need-inspiration-the-parade-of-homes-is-on-now/ http://jilltran.com/blog/2010/10/need-inspiration-the-parade-of-homes-is-on-now/#comments Wed, 06 Oct 2010 14:37:58 +0000 admin http://jilltran.com/blog/?p=1622 It’s that time of year!

As a child, I remember the Parade of Homes (October 2 -17) …oh, yes.  Being dragged all over the city, walking, walking, walking through homes.  Up stairs, down stairs.  My brother and I got suckers to coax us on.  We could have used a whole bucket of them.

But today, I love seeing homes.  Especially those that are spectacular.  I appreciate homes with unusual architectural features (no “Me too!” features, thank you) and imagination.  Luxurious features.  I mean the ones that make living easier such as a smart floor plan and clever details can make it all worth it.  I mean really, why build or buy new unless it really is something special?  Truly special!

I hope you get a chance to take this tour and cherry pick your favorites and the genuinely more spectacular homes.  Remember, while budget certainly does play a roll, I am a quality over quantity gal.  There is great design in all price ranges.  Let me know what you think and who the most talented builders in our great city are.  Never settle.


Pick this guide up at the Home Builders Association building at 435 and Holmes or on the parade tour.


Make it fab!

Make it fab!
