The past 2 weeks have been an intense on-again, off-again struggle through dozens of conceptual sketches, job site walk-throughs, thinking, and re-thinking lighting design, flooring selections, you name it.

Everything that each one of my clients goes through in one form or another, and it’s been good to experience it first-hand again myself as I finalize all of the numerous details for this year’s Jeff Click Homes entry into the 2008 Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association Parade Of Homes, which kicks off September 13th and runs through the 21st.  This year’s parade entry will unveil the first rendition of what is quickly becoming my favorite plan: The Numbers Plan.

It’s not that this is a draining struggle, but rather a good exercise and challenge to push the envelope of what I do otherwise every day.  I try to make each Jeff Click Home something daringly different from the last, but the Parade Home is always something extra special, as thousands of people attend each year to see it, and I don’t want to let “the fans” down!

Over the coming weeks, I’ll share just a few of the details of what we have in store for you this year.  In the meantime, here are a few previews…

A shot of the front elevation of the now fully-framed Parade Home, based on The Numbers Plan.  The green wood is a new kind of weather-resistant sheathing we’re trying out.

A conceptual sketch of the main wall of the great room, with stone columns and back-lit glass panels above, centered fireplace with plasma television, and side niches with lower euro-style cabinets.

A modern, yet cozy breakfast nook with built-in bench seat in between stone columns.
