Featured Lot

Stonewall Homes has been building in Highland Village for over 10 years, and we only have ONE LOT LEFT…

Highland Village is an established neighborhood on the east side of Norman off N. Porter Ave. Onsite amenities include a swimming pool with cabana, two parks with playground equipment, multiple water features, and a soccer field.

Halloween at Stonewall Homes 🎃

It’s almost Halloween, and this year we’re wrapping up spooky season with the real reason October 31st gets everyone so hype: free. candy.

(Oh, and a $50 Lowe’s gift card.)

Since Halloween is all about tricks and treats, we’re joining in the festivities with a candy guessing game. If you’re not familiar with this classic contest, it’s a simple game where one lucky winner takes home all the treats. The trick? You have to guess the correct number of candies we’ve packed in a jar and get closer than anyone else.

The game begins Saturday, Oct. 21. To enter, visit our model home during business hours or go to our Instagram page anytime. Do both for a bonus entry!

Here are the deets:

Good luck, and Happy Halloween!

The latest from Pete & Co. - Tackling Trends & Making Selections

If you’re involved in real estate in any capacity, or even if you just like to watch HGTV, you’ve probably witnessed countless house trends come and go. Some of these trends stick around in smaller ways (such as subway tile, which remains classy but no longer dominates), and others we wish we could forget (the first that comes to mind is green shag carpet… ick).

Here at Stonewall Homes, we take pride in being entirely custom, and when we say we’ll let our customers choose anything, we mean anything. Funky tile? Done. Four paint colors in one room? Sounds great. A hot pink commode? Well, if you’re sure… 🤷‍♀️

Working closely with our clients also means that Tyra, our selections organizer extraordinaire, has seen her fair share of design trends. So, we decided to ask her about her experiences with custom design and for any advice (or warnings!) she might have.

Q - In your experience, how can someone avoid dating their home with their design choices?

A - I would say to stay neutral or classic on expensive items in the home. Then add whimsy or be daring in less expensive areas. For example, do a fun wallpaper in a small area or paint a room a bright color that might be a little crazy. It is much easier to change the wallpaper and repaint than to replace a tile that was a little too trendy.

Q - How can our clients, or anyone building a home, make the selections process less stressful?

A - I believe being organized is key. Customers should keep a binder with pictures and details of their selections and any pertinent information about the build. This way, when they visit different vendors, they will have all the information/selections they have chosen along the way, and it helps the vendor get a sense of what the customers are going for.

Q - Do you have any advice for someone building or remodeling their home?

A - I would just say to go into the process with an open mind. Sometimes timelines get changed. Sometimes product availability changes. Life happens. Just know this ahead of time and be willing to compromise in some areas.
