Anatomy of a Model Home - The “Inspiration”, Part II

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

We actually found the inspiration for Mike & Linda’s Kensington right in our own Cambridge Homes Design Studio.  My colleagues Paige Bryant & Sharron Winn were eager to showcase a spectacular granite from our collection.  Called “Red Dragon”, the color was - well - “out there”.  Courage is what we needed to say “yes” to that one!!  LOTS of courage.

Paige was tenacious and insisted we “step out”.  So we did; we built the entire design around that “out there” Red Dragon granite.  Although the granite appears only on the Gigantic Island in the Kitchen, the same color is reflected boldly on the walls of Mike’s Study, and subtly in the fabrics throughout the public areas of the home.

Paige & Sharron selected the Red Dragon Granite, The "Inspiration" for the new Kensington Model Home in Colleyville.
