The Real Homes of Jupiter, Edition Four: The Silva Family
The Real Homes of Jupiter, Edition Three: The Aronsons
November means the official start of the Holiday season and we couldn’t be more excited! Cooler weather, fall colors, Thanksgiving festivities, and Black Friday sales are among the many things we love about this month.
But the best part about November (in our humble opinion, disclosure we are also a real estate, design and renovation company) is the decking of the halls with festive decor. It’s the time when the whole house becomes a place of festivity, whether it’s autumn and harvest accents for Thanksgiving or the transition to a winter wonderland for the upcoming holiday season. We love how even the smallest of holiday additions to your decor can bring out that WOW factor in your home. But you don’t always need to wait for the holidays to roll around to dress up your home and give it all those vibey feels.
The Real Homes of Jupiter, Edition Two: The Maslows
“Having a great kitchen-to-dining room flow was something critically important to Val and Anthony during their house hunting process with their Realtor, Holly Meyer Lucas.
They ended up falling in love with a townhome in Jupiter with a big wall between the kitchen and dining room, so they decided to create a pass-through window/countertop between the two spaces. The result is fabulous and completely nailed the vibe they were going for….”

Meet the Bordners
Jessica Bordner exudes all things "charm" and her home is no different. It is impossible not to immediately feel at ease with Jessica, whether she is photographing the biggest day of your life or inviting you into her adorable home.
MLRE had the opportunity to chat with Jessica about life, love, and design. "My husband, Michael and I have been married for just over 6 years. We share a passion for traveling, architecture, and food. When we met, Michael was a K9 handler in the Navy and living in Japan. I visited him a few times per year while I balanced my career as a photographer back home. He is now a firefighter in Palm Beach County and we live in our dream home in Tequesta, Florida with our fur child, Avery Jade."
““I absolutely love how the design elements in Jessica’s home seem so effortless. It is difficult to achieve that mid century minimalist look without over doing it. Jessica nailed it.””

1. What inspires your home decor?
2. What's your favorite space in your home?
3. What's your favorite piece?
4. And where did you get it so we can copy you?
1. What inspired your home decor?
"We get a lot of our home inspiration from Palm Springs, California - nature inspired mid-century vibes, cozy feels, and raw material accents."
Jessica's home has the perfect balance of rich textiles, bold pieces, and nature-inspired accents. It is so vibey and we just absolutely love it; the wood, the wicker, and the natural greenery placed perfectly next to eye-catching metallic statement pieces, sunburst mirrors, vivid patterns and clean lines.
Jessica pairs modern and whimsical and proves that earth tones never go out of style.
2. What is your favorite space in your home?
"I think my favorite room has to be our outdoor living space. It was one of the features of the home that we fell in love with first. We love to host parties and utilize the outdoors during most of the year here in Florida. We would much rather dine al fresco when we can."
[To save you a trip to the google machine (don't worry, we didn't know either) -- "Al Fresco" is a phrase borrowed from Italian for "in the cool air" or "to dine outside". Jessica is such a cultural attache, we can't even.]
“We love to host parties and utilize the outdoors throughout the year here in Florida. We would much rather dine al fresco when we can.”
3. What's your favorite piece in your home?
"Hard Choice!!!! We love our wooden dresser in the guest room. The pop of white mixed with that mid century raw wood look works for that space and I love it. I also love the farm table on our patio that my husband actually built himself."
4. And where did you get it so we can copy you?
I got the dresser at West Elm! The farm table is courtesy of Michael.
