The Parade of Homes is Here!

September 10, 2013 by Amber Filed Under: design, parade of homes 1 Comment

My mom and I visited this year’s Parade of Homes in Central New York, and it did not disappoint. Nestled near the quaint town of Jamesville in Lafayette, this neighborhood boasts lake views and stunning new homes! My mom and I attend this event every year, as it’s a great way to get some design inspiration and see beautiful homes that have been fully decorated by local interior designers. The Parade is open through September 22nd, so there is still plenty of time to get out there and experience it yourself! Let’s get right to the homes, with some of my favorite spaces…

This first home was built by Martin Custom Homes and is ‘The Waterford’ model…

I love how this home felt so spacious. The office had that gorgeous coffered ceiling and there was plenty of room to work in the kitchen. The walk in pantry is a mom’s dream and that master bedroom closet had me at hello!

This next home was by Mark Antony Homes and is their ‘Beth Ann’ model. It had one of my favorite bathrooms of the parade!

I am always a sucker for an all white kitchen. I love the sand colored linen drapery panels in the family room, adore the high ceilings and love that half bathroom ceiling stencil! That adds such an unexpected touch to the space. {It also ended up being my highest ‘liked’ image on instagram, yet!}

This next home was unique and designed by Konrad Builders. It had a mid century modern vibe and was so different from the rest of the Parade’s homes. This home had the best windows and natural light!

Aren’t the windows amazing?? I can just imagine this home in the winter, looking out at all of the snowy trees. This home also comes with dock access and a beautiful view of the lake from the backyard! The above image of the bathroom shows the stunning floors!

This next home was one of my favorite exteriors. It had such a coastal, Nantucket vibe, with a mix of the blue and shaker style siding. It is ‘The Oakhurst’ by Sciuga Custom Builders.

I loved that farmhouse sink in the kitchen and the dining room had a large wall of built in shelving. That would be a lot of fun to dress up!

This next home was by far, the favorite of both myself and my mom. It was built by Zellar Homes and is ‘The Stewart’ model. The interior designer brought a subtle theme to her designs from the classic film, It’s a Wonderful Life. We were both ready to move right in! 


There was so much attention to detail in this home. I love that the window frames were a tan color in the family room, allowing them to pop against the walls. The kitchen was simply stunning! We were so impressed with how lived in  and warm this home felt. Well done!

The last home I’m going to show today was built by Smolen Homes and is ‘The Jonsten.’

I truly believe fabric can take a room to the next level. The drapery fabric in the family does just that and makes a stunning impression on the rest of the room. I loved the ceiling detail in the dining room and the modern art above the console!

All in all, this was a great event! My mom and I had a blast and walked away with plenty of design inspiration for our homes.

Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Can you believe it… I wrote a blog post!!! 😂 Head over to my blog (link in bio) to see what’s been going on with all things Amber B Design, including this bookcase beauty in the office of #ProjectClassicLiving #amberbdesign #coastalliving #myballardstyle
In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the li In my last post, I hinted at a new plan for the living room. Now that the ladder has been relocated to the family room, this corner is definitely in need of some height. I almost went with the idea of a tree and while I love it in other homes, I just didn’t see it here. So I went on Pinterest in search of inspiration and @studiomcgee to the rescue! I love the idea of a pedestal with a vase and maybe some branches, instead of a tree. I can switch up the accessories on the pedestal and I think it’s the winner! Inspiration in the next slide. #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving
I have always liked to shop around my home, moving I have always liked to shop around my home, moving things to different rooms and making them feel like new accessories. It breathes new life into a space, even with subtle touches. I switched the living room and family room table lamps and I like the larger scale lamp in here! I have fun plans for the living room, which I’ll share soon. Happy Friday!! #amberbdesignathome #loveyourhabitat #SMmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #coastalliving
Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel lik Once the Christmas tree is down, I always feel like the room is so bare. This year, we had it to the left of the television and I really feel like that space is now so empty. I tried the living room ladder in its place and I love it! But the living room needs it there too. What to do?! Maybe a tall plant in one of the spaces?! Two ladders within feet of each other?! 😂 #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #howyouhome #SMmakelifebeautiful #loveyourhabitat #bhghome
