When you walk through the model home at Mt Laurel, it is Kay Green who aims to hook you into becoming a buyer.
The Florida native has been decorating model homes for builders across the country for decades, building a national reputation for her style and attention to detail. Recently, Green set aside some time to show off a model home at 110 Burnham St. in Mt Laurel, and explain some of her technique.
Green handles merchandising for builders across the country, meaning she is hired to go in and oversee decorations for their model homes. She works with builders in 15 states.
“I help pick the beams, the crown molding, the tiles, floor coverings, practically anything you see in a model home,” she said. “We select the pieces of furniture and fabrics as well.”
The 3,100-square-foot model home in Mt Laurel she designed was featured in the Birmingham Parade of Homes in May as one of the Designer Showcase homes. Green has been designing homes for 40 years and has built a national reputation.
“Kay Green did a fabulous job with our interior design,” said Ray Jackson, sales manager of Mt Laurel, adding that she will return to the community in mid-June for a “Day With the Designer” event and answer questions from prospective buyers.
The home has 5 bedrooms, 5 and a half baths and is on sell in the $500,000 range, Jackson said.
Green said she tailors each design to the housing community to make it fit what buyers desire. You can check out samples of her work on her website, kaygreendesign.com.
