There are a LOT of model homes here in Southern California!
Every builder creates a jaw-dropping, show-stopping block

Mom and I looked at a LOT of model homes when she was deciding to buy hers.

Stained Wood
I especially like the wood flooring applied to the back of an entryway cubby unit:
Stained Wood ON THE CEILING!

'Wood Look' Ceramic Tiles
Brick
Stuck on what to do with YOUR walls?
