Get Your Backyard Ready for Barbecue Season

sitthomes on June 3, 2021

Your backyard probably hasn’t gotten the love it deserves over the colder months or this past year at all. It’s time to get your outdoor oasis up to party standard as social gatherings and in-person events make a comeback this summer. Whether you have neglected your outdoor space more than usual with less visitors or are looking to create a space from scratch, here are some tips to turn your backyard into a summer party destination.

Give some extra attention to your lawn and garden

The first thing that guests notice when arriving to your home is landscaping. If your garden is looking a bit tired, it’s time to perk it up and transform it into a welcoming space for guests. Spring is the best time to prune your summer blooming shrubs and the ample moisture right now gives seeds a good start to growth. Take advantage of this by over seeding so that your lawn is green and lush. You can also prep for new plants by clearing weeds and debris from flower beds.

Stock up on yard games

Up your game with cornhole, volleyball, and oversized yard games. There’s no better way to diverge everyone outside for quality time and it’s perfect for entertaining a group of all ages.

Prep the grilling station

It’s not a barbecue without the food. Consider a potluck party where guests each bring dishes to lighten your load. Grilling alone takes a lot of attention, so prepare ahead of time. Clean the grill and make sure you have enough gas or charcoal to keep it going

Consider outdoor upgrades

New lighting, furniture, and an outdoor kitchen can make all the difference in entertaining guests. All of these are investments that add value to your home and help your family enjoy summertime to its fullest. Extra features like fireplaces or covered patios can even make your space enjoyable year-round.

Sitterle Homes offers outdoor designs that are luxurious and comfortable. Create a space where you can soak in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, or where you can entertain and enjoy time with family and friends. Whether you want to keep it simple or go all out, Sittlerle has options to fit your lifestyle and allow you to make the best memories in your outdoor escape. Available outdoor amenities may include:

Yard maintenance for a lock-and-leave lifestyle
Oversized lots
Covered porches and patios
Outdoor kitchen spaces
Irrigation systems and landscape design

Trendy vs. Timeless Design

sitthomes on March 23, 2021

When building your home, it can be challenging to find the right balance between a trendy and timeless style. Having spent far more time at home this past year, we have already seen many trends come and go as homeowners began to notice details of their house that needed revamping. No matter what type of environment you’re going for, Sitterle can help you choose a style that will stand the test of time.

It is important to recognize that trends are constantly evolving. What really matters is that your home never goes out of style in your mind. Consider timeless designs in areas that could be difficult to change and use trendy pieces for accents and finishing touches. If in two years you decide you don’t like your colorful rug or side chair, these can be relatively easy to switch out. Other items like home exteriors and expensive furniture should stay more neutral to accommodate newer trends easily.

Design Trends in 2021:

Earthy Palettes

It has been a common trend in recent months to accent the home with calming patterns. Where it was previously in style to have white or minimalistic kitchens and common areas, we are seeing more earthy tones like greens, browns, and even yellow bringing in influence from nature. A timeless kitchen could include granite or quartz countertops with soft colors that would mix well with colorful accent pieces.

Multifunctional Spaces

Spending more time at home has made us reconsider the purpose of a room. In extra space, we expect people to be inspired to maximize functionality. Trends here include dual-purpose furniture and smart storage. With the creative help of Sitterle’s design specialist, you will see that no space is too small to serve a bigger purpose.

Texture

Texture is what makes a home feel like it’s lived in. Layers of texture are easy to incorporate into any room and add personality without being too overwhelming. Texture can add dimension through furniture, walls, and more and can include materials like stone, marble, wood, or even velvet. Texturize a space easily with plants, patterned cushions and woven baskets. Architectural touches like crown molding and ceilings with wood planks are small touches that can make all the difference too.

Less Open Floor Plans

It is possible that the pandemic has weakened some enthusiasm for open floor plans. We will likely never completely say goodbye to the concept, but after the pandemic, homeowners discovered a new need for privacy and “zoom-friendly” spaces. Working with Sitterle Homes, you will see creative solutions to find a balance between entertaining and quiet space.

Sitterle Homes is a premier Texas homebuilder with a focus on creating long-lasting, high-quality homes and communities across San Antonio, Austin, and Houston. No matter your idea of a perfect home, Sitterle allows you the opportunity for personalization to fit your style. Our objective is to assist you in identifying the image you envision and create the environment that will be uniquely yours.

The 454 acre community is located at the intersection of Williams Drive and Ronald Reagan and will feature 100 acres of commercial development and 47 acres of parklands and site for future schools. A park, hike-and-bike trails, a pavilion, an event lawn, a pond, and a food-truck court are among the first-phase amenities of the community.

COMMUNITY PARK

Featuring roomy lawn space for open play, designated exercise stations, a pavilion, pond, food truck court, a 10-acre district park doubles as an entertainment destination as well as a lush natural reserve.

AMENITY CENTER

The planned amenity site is anchored by a multi-purpose center loaded with friendly features, such as a water wonderland pool for all ages, event programming and a variety of social spaces for recreation and expansive outdoor trails.

The food truck court will be one of many gatherings places at Parmer Ranch. This concept will have 4-8 micro restaurants, coffee bars, and taco stands along with commons seating and access to the park. It will be the perfect spot for Friday happy hours, coffee and Saturday lunch.

Parmer Ranch will help meet exceptional demand for housing in and around Williamson County. “The Austin area has seen incredible housing demand across the price spectrum. Williamson County has been the beneficiary of that, and people are flocking there,” says Vaike O’Grady, regional director of Zonda, a provider of housing data. “Parmer Ranch is coming online at a perfect time.”

A key advantage of Parmer Ranch “is that it is close to the new Apple campus, as well as all of the emerging employment, dining, shopping, and recreational opportunities north of Austin,” she adds.
