“I’ve had a lot of fun making
the vision for the Belleview
Place Carriage Home model
come to life,” Tempesta said,
adding that she enjoys working
with JMC’s professional team.
Tempesta purposely kept the
color palette and selections in
the model fairly neutral in order
to appeal to a wide variety of
homebuyers. She is currently
working with several clients
who have purchased carriage
homes at Belleview Place
and strives to create designs
for them that reflect their
individual taste and lifestyle.
Many of her spaces include
personal pieces and mementos
that will make her clients feel
at home.
The Carriage Home model
is bright and airy and features
a gas fireplace with a linear,
travertine surround, flanked
by custom, built-in bookshelves
with recessed lighting to
enhance accessories and
displays. Ross and Tempesta
chose a soft, neutral color
palette with bold, cobalt blue
accents, which are highlighted
nicely by the richness of the
dark wood floor. They added
a touch of elegance with brass
and gold metallic finishes, and
textural contrast was used
throughout to add interest and
make the space more inviting
and comfortable.
JMC has a reputation for using
high-end, quality products and
finishes in all of their projects.
Sophisticated architectural
details include crown molding,
along with tray ceilings and
recessed lighting. Tempesta
selected a beautiful, quartzite
countertop in the kitchen and
specified a waterfall edge on the
center island. Custom lighting
fixtures accent all. Tempesta

and Ross say they have worked
diligently to bring the vision
for the interior of the Carriage
Home model to life, and look
forward to the model openings
this spring. 9
