Commodore Homes of Indiana’s LandMark Grand 2LM2105-R.
Designed from the outside in, the porch, window and door placement balances the home perfectly. This stately exterior can be personalized and has several pre-designed alternatives.
Enter the front door and you are greeted by a massive Great Room; Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, aesthetically pleasing columns and the interior flow will certainly impress.
Color is taking a front seat in all aspects of design today. The pictures below are from random publications but all have a central theme, bright colors. The room scenes have pulled their colors from the artwork shown, and the front door area is picking up the colors from the mat. It’s interesting that all three feature shades of teal and yellow which plays nicely off the neutral gray and beige of the walls. Whether you’re freshening up a room or starting from scratch, start with a piece of artwork or a print you love and pull the colors from it into the room. You’ll end up with a very polished look and a room you love.

Trending today…there is a lot happening with finishes. Painted cabinets are everywhere, grey tones and white are the most prevalent, but there are some strong colors being shown also, dark blue and even some green were seen at the recent IBS show. Matte black has become a player in finishes for everything from cabinet hardware, faucets and lighting. The nice thing about this is, it blends well with brushed nickel, stainless and chrome. Black cabinet door hardware looks great on the painted finishes, while black lights add a nice contrast in a kitchen with brushed nickel & stainless.
Look for these featured finishes in our product offerings!

DESIGN NOTES:
The end of the year always heralds the announcements for “The Color of the Year” by various paint companies and those who specialize in forecasting color trends. The color palette seems to be getting warmer for both fashion and interiors. Pantone’s color of the year “Living Coral” is a vibrant color and is already influencing the fashion world.
Sherwin Williams’ color of the year is “Cavern Clay” which is a nice soft version that can blend with many other colors including some of the gray colors. It makes a nice accent wall and is not overwhelming in a whole room.
You may want to consider adding pops of the 2019 color of the year to your interiors to warm up the look.

We are excited to announce we are under construction of another plant expansion. We are adding approximately 20,000 square feet to our facility with the sole purpose of improving the quality of our product in four key area’s of construction.
They have always said that design goes in cycles, and the new cycle is trending to mid-century modern. Think clean lines, lighter feeling furniture, channel that “fifties look”. With the fall furniture market this year we are seeing this influence. Curves are everywhere and they are showing up everywhere from upholstery to case goods, even in lighting and accessories. There is a resurgence of wicker, rattan and caned furniture. These organic pieces add warmth to any interior and keep any interior from looking too harsh.
“Color blocking”, using a bold color on a single wall or piece of furniture, is softening with more pastel tones and subtle patterns and textures. There is also more use of earthy tones in rust, copper and soft gold, which blends with the appearance of brass and gold tone hardware.
The “farmhouse/shiplap” look is still strong but does show signs of starting to trend down. Younger buyers are looking at other clean looks to define their spaces and the mid-century look fits their style. Here is an overview of some of the new looks at this fall’s furniture market:
Our Grandville Limited Series is comprised of 3 models available as either Manufactured or Modular homes. Our Limited 3 is our newest model added to our Limited series and is our feature home!
The Limited 3 is a three bedroom, two bathroom ranch with an open concept living area. The 1600 square foot ranch includes a spacious living room shown with our Sto and Glo Optional Fireplace Application, perfect space for hanging your television! Large Kitchen island separating the living and kitchen space. The curved front island gives a great appeal to the kitchen, and its space has room for prep work, seating, and more! The kitchen has great cabinet space, and storage, along with sliding barn doors covering a huge walk-in pantry. An eat-in nook is off the kitchen, and we have some great options to have ship lap accent walls, or wainscot walls. The two secondary bedrooms and guest bathroom are off the nook, along with the utility room. Both bedrooms are very close in size and storage space. The secondary bathroom includes a tub/shower, vanity and commode. The Master Bedroom is off the living room. The Sto and Glo option that you can see from the living room is the fireplace and surround. The Master bedroom side of the Sto and Glo is a built in dresser area. A large walk-in closet in the master bedroom, along with a large master bathroom complete this end of the home. Double vanities, and great storage space in this bathroom, standard with a tub/shower, shown here with an optional walk-in tile shower.

Kitchen and Nook with Beautiful Sliding Barn Doors, and our Sienna Cabinetry
Announcing the color of the year for 2017…green. In various shades and a bit different from source to source but it is in fact green. Quite a big change from the various shades of white a year ago. It follows the influence of botanical looks that surround us and is also acting as a calming agent in our turbulent world right now.
“LUSH” SHAW’S COLOR OF THE YEAR
Lush is nature’s neutral. From the tallest trees to the deepest valleys, green surrounds us. It’s vibrant, but at the same time, soothing. It changes with the seasons without ever getting old or boring. It’s sprouting up in interior design and fashion trends across the world. Lush spans every style, from glamorous to rustic to contemporary. It can be a statement color, and it plays just as nice with jewel tones as it does with popular neutral hues. Lush can also be used as an accent color to pull out subtle hues in a tweed carpet, bold print or throw pillow. Lush is an excellent companion to hardwood flooring. Just as you’d see in nature, Lush greens are an organic complement to the natural beauty of hardwood.
