San Antonio, TX, March 8, 2019 – Lennar, Operation FINALLY HOME, and Cushman & Wakefield have joined together to provide U.S. Army First Lieutenant Garrett Spears a mortgage free new Lennar home in Lennar’s Johnson Ranch community. The organizations held a special groundbreaking ceremony at Spears’ future homesite on March 5th, 2019.

U.S. Army First Lieutenant, Garrett Spears and his family were surprised with the news during a live Fox News segment on New Year’s Eve 2017. Garrett was injured while participating in combat field training at Fort Hood in October 2013. Spears was tragically struck by lightning, stopping his heart and resulting in multiple burns across his body. The Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) caused Spears to lose the use of both legs as well as his short‐term memory. After nearly two years of in‐patient rehabilitation, Spears was discharged in the Fall of 2015 and is now walking on a limited basis. As his recovery continues, his mother and stepfather provide daily care and support.

Upon completion, Garett will receive Lennar’s Next Gen® home – perfect for their multigenerational family, living under one roof. Lennar’s Next Gen® The Home Within a Home®, features an attached suite with a kitchenette, private living space, bath and spacious master bedroom. Modifications will be made to provide convenience, accessibility and comfort for Garett’s day to day routines.

Spears and his family were led into their groundbreaking ceremony by local Patriot Guard Riders and the Bulverde Sheriff’s Office. They were greeted by over two hundred fifty Lennar San Antonio associates and community members, who cheered and waved American flags as the Spears family arrived at their future homesite. Reagan High School ROTC (Spears is a Reagan alumni) performed the presentation of the colors and Johnson Ranch Elementary choir sang the National Anthem. Bulverde Mayor, Bill Kraweitz welcomed the Spears family to the Bulverde community and Lennar San Antonio Division President, Brian Barron, thanked Garrett for his service and sacrifice.  

This is Lennar’s fifth project partnering with Operation FINALLY HOME with plans for additional projects in the future. Lennar anticipates the home to be completed this fall.

Tips from our interior design team on how to integrate the Boho look at home

Unlike many new homebuilders, Lennar is fortunate to have a team of talented in-house interior designers who plan and execute the professional decorating of model homes across the West and Northwest regions. Bohemian décor has and continues to be a huge trend, but artfully pulling the look off in a way that is sophisticated is easier said than done.

We spoke with our designers Lesley and Brianna to get their insight and dig into their thought process behind some of their recent Boho-inspired model homes. Here’s the scoop on how to do this on your own!

Farmhouse Boho

Designer Lesley believes that creating a Boho look is heavily reliant upon “texture and a mixture of furniture that feels like it’s been bought over time. Nothing too matchy-matchy.”

“We decided not to use pops of color here, something you typically see in a Bohemian style. I pulled some Traditional pieces with Industrial and Farmhouse-style furniture and décor, to give it that Farmhouse-meets-Boho feel.”

Urban Boho

“Seven Wells Estates was all about creating an Urban Boho look and feel. The streamlined and more modern furniture paired with the texture and rustic pieces give it a nice blend. The result is Contemporary-yet-Bohemian,” Lesley said.

Texture, Texture, Texture

“For this one, I really focused on texture mixed with pops of black. Black, mixed with creams and ivory, can be very warm and inviting. When everything’s too light it can feel sterile. It’s important to add depth,” said Lesley. “The layering of rugs, weathered wood, rubbed black metals and textured materials give this home a warm ambiance.”

Naturally Eclectic

Designer Brianna also advised that incorporating textures is crucial for getting the Boho look—but don’t be afraid to add in bold patterns for some fun and impact.

“Bring in a variety of textures. Incorporate natural elements, woven textiles and eclectic patterns to design a look that feels modern yet relaxed, the way a Boho-inspired space needs,” Schlaht said. “The idea is to create a room that embraces a collected aesthetic. So don’t shy away from introducing bold prints or layering area rugs to tie the space together.”
