Parade of Homes 2011

This year I think Mom and I saw all but three houses. We were quite dedicated to seeing as many houses as we could. Here are some of the highlights:

It's like deja vu! I think there was an airplane similar to this one last year and I think we took a similar picture.

The "UP" house was pretty awesome! Talk about attention to detail!

I didn't take pictures inside, so I thought I'd show some pictures from the brochure.

Cute Addie and Grandma walking to the next house.

Awesome lamp

This was a Make a Wish room, themed from the movie Tangled.  It was super cute, but talk about dangerous!

The ladder inside was too close to the wall to get a good grip with your feet. It led to an upper little alcove, but if you had to get your child out of it, you were in for quite an adventure - and not a very fun one.

It really was cute, but I thought I might not come down in one piece

Loved this picture!

Grey and silver seemed to be the colors this year.  I didn't think I'd like grey as much, but I really did.  We saw a grey kitchen and it was fantastic! The silver walls in this room were pretty great as well.

LOVED this lamp!!!

I liked this fountain as well!

Overall, the Parade of Homes was a lot of fun.  I'm not sure that I would buy any of the houses.  There were some that really were spectacular, but they all seemed to have something I didn't like.  Most of my complaints had something to do with the floor plans though.  Who'd buy a three-story apartment?  Do you want to see into the master bedroom from the front door?  That being said, I can't wait until next year when we can go through and critique some more houses!
