Kitchen

Judy says to maximize a room’s elegance, one needs only to rely on minimal design choices such as the mix of neutrals with pops of gold in this kitchen. With white marble countertops and gold finishes, this kitchen is every cook’s dream. The kitchen is also a part of the open concept, looking out into the living room and dining room, which is perfect for parents cooking dinner while also needing to keep a close eye on their children.

Dining Room

While Brett designs and oversees most of the construction of the builds, Judy stages each home, including picking out the paint colors, furniture, fixtures and finishes. She says black, beige, white and Earth-tone colors such as dark green are excellent choices when creating the perfect home for a new family.

Living Room

“We try to make [each build] a blank canvas for the new owner,” Judy says. She believes the “dress up” of the home is part of a new homeowner’s joy when moving into their new home. Brett and Judy’s signature “Australian” mark on each of their homes is usually a design choice often found in Australian architecture. In this Homewood build, the black accent wall in the living room and master bedrooms are their trademarks.

An Open Floor Plan

“The basic design of the house I did,” Brett says. “Then I had a draftsman, David Delozier, draw it for us. The main floor I did.”

Entryway

Brett says this house is a little Australian, a little Hawaiian and a whole lot of Birmingham.

Master Bedroom

Interestingly, the master bedroom has two pillow box windows above the bed to let in more natural light. Against the black accent wall, this subtle contrast pairs nicely with the mix of neutrals in the room.

Master Bathroom

Every master bathroom that Brett and Judy design, they say, needs to have the following: his and hers sinks, a walk-in shower, a free-standing tub and walk-in closets. Why? Because this bathroom is not only to be shared between two people, but it also should have closets for convenient dressing. They credit their sons, Cody, Brady and Tyler and daughter-in-law, Katie, for their innovative talents in helping design each of the homes they create.
