Blog #10- Jeff Seal Homes of Distinction

Jeff Seal Homes of Distinction
The field trip I attended to last week was Jeff Seal Homes of Distinction, and when we got to the house we were supposed to meet up at, I just how beautiful the exterior of the house was. The interior of the house was just as beautiful, but maybe just a little more than the exterior. Jeff Seal Homes of Distinction deals with home design, the design of the interiors, along with material selections, construction, and landscape design and installation.
When walking inside the unfinished house, it could have just stayed the way it was, because it was so beautiful and indescribable. The design of the house was so antique and it was made to look like as if it were a European style, which is very unique in Lubbock, Texas. The house had many uses of arches, the harringbone design of bricks, and antique cabinets. What stood out the most to me was the design of the house, obviously, but the cabinets had a great effect on me. The cabinets are antique white, and I absolutely love them, even before I stepped into the house, just anything antique I am sold.
Once we finished looking at the first house, and yes there was more to the field trip. The second house he told us about was almost like a castle, and to be honest he was telling the truth. Unfortunately the house was still under construction, but it was so beautiful the way it was being built. As you stepped inside, the entrance was ginormous and there is a great big dome at the top of the ceiling. The house had many arches, as well as groin vaults, and domes. The house was complete and had enough room for three families to live in it.
The overall field trip was amazing and it was indescribable, and throughout this field trip it made me realize what I wanted to do with my major as well as even think about interning with Jeff Seal, because it had a great effect on me, which I somehow cannot explain, but it was an a great experience.
