Create Curb Appeal at Your New Ball Home!

Now that you've moved into your new Ball home, you're ready to add your own personal style to it. There's furniture to arrange and cupboards to fill, but don't let winter weather keep you from putting your personal touch on the outside of your home. There are things you can do right now to add curb appeal to your new home and add "you" to your new abode.

Knock, Knock

Your front door makes the first impression for your house. Make it shine with a new wreath or door mat to greet your guests, like this DIY welcome mat from bottosblog.blogspot.com. If you have a porch, add a decorative bench or rocking chairs. Create symmetry with topiaries or sconces flanking the doorway.

Light Up the Night
Attract attention to your home even after the sun has gone down. Install decorative lighting in your landscaping or along your front walkway. The bright side (no pun intended) with installing outdoor lighting is that it provides safety and security as well as looking great. Here's an article from the designers at HGTV on working with landscape lighting.

Stop and Smell the Flowers
Plants and flowers can bring instant color to a dreary landscape. Because planting in the winter can be tricky, install ready-made planters or window boxes. Keep your shrubs trimmed and freshen up the mulch to keep your garden areas from looking overrun or tired-looking. Eventually when the weather warms, you can define your landscape with edging stones to add more color and texture to your garden beds.

New Villa Floor Plan Added to Ball Homes Collection

We've added another wonderful floor plan to our Villa collection. The Wakefield is a two-story plan with 3,576 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a 2 car garage.


The Wakefield plan incorporates a nice use of style and space with an open concept family room, breakfast area, and kitchen. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and spacious island with breakfast bar. The living room includes a beautiful bay window and eases into the entry foyer and formal dining room. 


Upstairs, the master suite offers a variety of luxury bath essentials, including an 8' long dual vanity, a garden tub, tiled shower options, a spacious master closet, and convenient access to the upstairs utility room with separate folding area. An open loft with 9' ceiling finishes off the upstairs and connects the three bedrooms and hall bathroom.


Currently, the Wakefield by Ball Homes is offered in our Chilesburg Landing subdivision.
