<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">When it comes to figuring
out how to arrange your furniture, you don’t need a professional designer. It’s
simply a matter of common sense. Figure out what you like, colors, textures,
artwork, etc… to get ideas, start by looking online or through popular
furniture catalogs such as , Wayfair, Pottery Barn, Pier One, World Market
Crate and Barrel and then follow these simple steps.</span></div>

have to be hard to figure out. More times than not it’s your favorite part of
the room, a <a href="http://paultaylorhomes.com/boyl.html">fireplace</a>, mantel, perhaps it’s windows that look out onto a
beautiful scenery. Whatever your <a href="http://paultaylorhomes.com/index.html">focal point</a> is, it’s important to know what it
is before your start arranging your furniture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">If you are moving into a
new home, don’t rush out and go buy furniture right way, and don’t go and buy
all your furniture at once. I would advise you to just live in the space a
while. You might be surprised to see that some of your pieces you have will work
great in your new space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
sometimes your furniture takes on a whole new purpose in a new space. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Adding pieces here and there helps
prevent that “matchy matchy” look. You want your pieces to compliment each
other not match. This can be obtained by integrating coordinating fabrics and
patterns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">If you have the luxury of
a <a href="http://paultaylorhomes.com/stone_creek.html">large room</a> take advantage of the size of the room, don’t push the furniture
against the walls, use the middle of the room to create an intimate space. Even
if you are working with a smaller space, keep a bit of distance off the walls
if at all possible. Placing furniture a little bit of away from the walls,
gives your furniture life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The scale of your
furniture is also just as important. I’m not big on using graphics, paper and
pencil to the exact measurement, I think it’s more important to eye the actual
room and visualize what you see in the room, it will inspire your creativity.
The one exception I have for using an exact measurement is when it comes to the sofa…
especially if your putting your sofa in front of a wall (notice I didn’t say up
against the wall).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I prefer using
occasionally chairs, and believe it or not these can be quite comfortable and help
to create conversation space. </span><span style="color: #777777; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 9.5pt; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">All chairs/seating do not
need to face the TV! Chances are your room a multi-purpose room. Create a
<a href="http://paultaylorhomes.com/creekside.html">conversation space,</a> you want the sofas and chairs to face each other (not
necessarily straight on, but close), and they should be close enough that you
can have a natural conversation with the person seated across from you without
having to raise your voice. If the room is too large, create multiple
conversation areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pieces. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Use a variety of different
shapes, mixture of woods, glass and metals, these all create balance in a room.
If you’re working with a large room, I would invest in a large coffee table, or
better yet, if you can use two coffee tables together this can really add a
sense of interest to the room. If your room is smaller, consider a round coffee table and off-center it to create space. </span><span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 18.4pt;">It’s just as important to
have easy access to the furniture, make sure you place tables near but not too
close your furniture making it easier to pass through your furniture
arrangement.</span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">If you’ve read my
previous posts, you know that I believe this is one of the most important
elements of the room, because it sets the mood. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing to consider is the height of your ceilings, if you
have tall ceilings, you’ll want to purchase lamps with a little more height to
them, if you have your favorite lamp and it’s not quite tall enough, a little
trick is to put some of your favorite books under the lamp just to add a little
extra height. Don’t be afraid to use different metals, I love a good mix of
metals, it adds interest to the room. Couple of things you want to keep in mind
is the different types of lighting, remember lighting creates moods. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">One of the
biggest trends now in the industry is can lighting, if you can incorporate can
lighting I highly recommend getting a dimmer switch to create the mood of the
room. This is cheap and simple to do. The same holds true for any table lamps,
or floor lamps, purchase ones that offer three lighting options, using a
three-way bulb. When you walk into the room, it’s important that lighting is
placed on all sides of the room, to create a balance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">One of the biggest
mistakes people make when hanging there pictures or artwork is that they hand
them too high. Typically you want to place your artwork a little higher than
eye level. Now I know what you’re thinking… “we’re all different heights”… You
don’t want to struggle to see the the essence of the picture. Scale is also
very important, consider your wall size, if you have a large wall, either
create a vignette, using multiple pictures, or one or two larger pictures
spaced relationally on the wall. Nothing like a mirror to make your room look
and appear larger. What’s key about mirrors is that they reflect light, if possible
hang mirrors across from windows, to reflect light. In a large open space
this is less important, and a floor mirror works great. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #191919; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 13.0pt;">I’m going to end with this…As
each new season arrives, to keep things fresh without having to break the bank,
consider adding in just one new color to add to the room. You can do this by
simply replacing the cover on your throw pillows, or adding in colored
candles, and fresh flowers and plants in relation to the season. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

With an inventory home you get to see it before you buy and you have the opportunity to inspect every corner of the home to make sure you’re happy with the finishes.<br />
<br />
It’s completely new, and backed by the standard new home warranty program.<br />
<br />
Depending on the stage of the inventory home, it’s quite possible you could choose some design selections, such as the kitchen appliances, flooring or fixtures<br />
<br />
Now that you’ve found the neighborhood that you want to live in, you can start living in your new home sooner than if you were to build from scratch.<br />
<br />
It can save you money by limiting the number of custom add-ons during the selection process.<br />
<br />
It makes buying a new home easy. With the large laundry list of things to do, buying a new home already completed and ready to go can certainly simplify your move.<br />
<br />
Limits the amount of decisions you have to make. For some, building a home from scratch can be overwhelming, it requires a number of decisions… from the choosing your lot to brick selection to the type of flooring you desire. With the expertise of our professional designers, rest assure that our inventory homes come equipped with the latest trends and modern features that buyers are looking for.<br />
<br />
If time is of the essence, and a pre-owned home just won't do, this is the solution for you. Take a look below at some of our current inventory homes....<br />

“The Heart of the Home”…At parties it’s always the place everyone ends up
gathering to share stories and recipes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Perhaps it’s the aromas, the
fresh brewed coffee first thing in the morning or the smell of dinner in the
oven after a long day. I remember countless times having my kids do homework at
the island to keep me company as I fiddled around in the kitchen. If you’re a
foodie, it’s the place where you create. Most importantly it is the place your
family gathers every evening to give thanks, or perhaps play the “High – Low”
game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Through the years the kitchen
has evolved. Today it’s the epicenter of the home, open to the entire home and
welcoming to everyone in it. Remember the old galley kitchens? The kitchen was
sort of hidden from all open parts of the home. It was off to the side of the
dining room and behind the family room, as if the cook was supposed to not be
seen. And what’s even more, if there WAS a view it was from a tiny window that
looked out onto the side of the house, and if you were lucky you had a little
place in back of the sink to put a few potted plants. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Well not anymore, now it’s
all about the BIG open concept, with large islands that pour into the breakfast
room and from there continues to the family room, dining room and right on into
the game room. Making it all that much easier to entertain family and friends. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The kitchen has become that
place where kids join moms and dads to learn all about nutrition, where kids
learn manners, and where everyone learns what it means to be blessed by good
food and the hands that make it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">With the added sleek
stainless steal appliances, beautiful granite countertops and skillfully
designed cabinetry, it’s become a warm comfortable space in which you just want
to hang out. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">From baking cakes together,
to watching clay school projects harden in the oven, kitchens hold memories. As
times change, the kids grow older the functionality of an open kitchen has
become more important than ever. From hosting dinner parties to making
extravagant family meals when we are all reunited, the open flow and inviting
décor of the kitchen moves to incorporate the whole house. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Forecast for Dallas this weekend: High in the
70s, and evening lows in the 40s. Did I mention it was the last week in
January? One of the perks of living in the south, we can pretty much live
outdoors for a large portion of the year. Perhaps that is just the reason we are building more
and more outdoor spaces. It’s the perfect way to extend your living space.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3a3e4b; font-family: "open sans" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">In addition, an outdoor living space is not only a great feature, adding onto the living space of your home, it will also attract buyers when you're ready to sell. A National Association of Realtors survey shows more than half of the surveyed buyers would pay a premium for a home with an outdoor living space. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3a3e4b; font-family: "open sans" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon buying a new home the first thing we start thinking about is...Will my furnishings work with this space? Does my
dining table work in the formal dining space, and does my bedroom furniture
work in the master? Is my sofa too big or too small for the family room? Are my
current colors going to match with my design selections? When a model home is
over decorated, it can make it difficult to tell if your furnishings will work
or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over decorated models make it hard to see the real “bones”
or structure of the home. In other words, you can’t see the home for the
furnishings. While it’s beautiful when every room in the model has a different
paint color, added built-ins, and a ton of furniture and wall hangings throughout the home, you come away with great ideas, it can also be a little bit overwhelming. It
becomes difficult to visualize how YOUR home will look, with your personal
taste and style. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At Paul Taylor Homes we design and decorate our models so
that it is possible for you to see what you are actually purchasing. That being
said, yes, at Paul Taylor Homes our model homes do have upgrades, but not so
much that you can’t visualize how YOUR new home will look. (We will always be
clear about what is standard and what is not.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We focus on the floor plan and the construction of the home.
We want you to see the size and space of each room as well as the flow of the
home at first glance. To help with this, with the exception of the media room, we maintain one wall color throughout the entire home from the kitchen to the
bedroom. Keeping our light fixtures standard is just another feature we feel helps to show you just what you can expect. In addition, we maintain a minimal amount of furnishings,
and wall decor so we don’t take away from what's important...the home. Our goal is to simply generate creative ideas to show you how you can live in YOUR space. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’d love
to buy a lot and build my dream home.” Years ago this seemed like a pipe dream for so
many, but now builders are making this more of a possibility than ever
before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing is certain,
before you set out to find your perfect lot, it’s important to find a builder
that has strong “build on your lot” expertise. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m happy
to say that in 2015 Paul Taylor Homes had a record year in the number of “Build
on Your Lot” homes. And what’s
more, we’ve been building homes in the Dallas area since 1979….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12.0pt;">1979… The
Bee Gees had the number one song in America, the show Dallas was one of the top
rated TV shows, the most popular Christmas present was a walkman/cassette radio
player… and The University of Alabama won the National Championship. The only two things in this list that still hold true here in 2016 is that Alabama once
again won the National Championship…and Paul Taylor Homes is still building
homes in DFW. </span><span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">Now that’s
some staying power. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">So if you’re looking to build your dream home on your
perfectly chosen lot, take a look at what we offer….</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12.0pt;">At Paul
Taylor Homes we have a wide selection of floor plans available for you to choose from,
whether it be side entry, or estate sized homes. We'll help you select the right home for your lot and an amenity package that fits your family's needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 12pt;">Once you choose the floor plan and the amenity level and we’ll do the rest. We will be right there along side you through the entire process. More importantly, you will know the total cost of your home up front before we ever get started. </span><br />

Do you ever go out, come home and think, "What a fabulous party!"? Chances are that the lighting and music were perfectly on point. I am a firm believer that music and lighting can make or
break a party. The same holds true when it comes to creating that perfect ambiance for your home, it's important to use your senses to guide you. </div>
