It’s all about the backsplash…

By Beth Benner, September 25, 2019

A long awaited welcome home to Stewy, Danielle and their two girls! Many months ago we toured a beautiful model home at DR Horton’s Westmont community in Beaverton.  We found a floor plan with a full basement, and Stewy and Danielle knew this was the one for them: they could see themselves here long term, the girls playing in the basement with their friends.

After getting an accepted offer, the next step was to visit the design center and choose their finishes…. the fun part! Cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, appliances, fixtures…and backsplash!

Then they wait.  And wait.  And wait.

And 7 months later, the big reveal!  How did it all come together??

Better than expected – they love it! Especially the backsplash.
