Home Tour {My Favorite Parade Of Home}

I absolutely loved this house...

 It's classic black and white, it has shutters, painted brick and a porch.

It was house #28 by Legend Homes.

I took a picture of almost every room, I'm ready to move in!

 The wooden corbels, garage doors and lights make this home so charming!

Here is the entryway...

The sliding barn doors lead to the living room/office...

 Don't you love the ceiling?

This is the fireplace in the great room...

White painted brick...Beautiful!

Here is the gorgeous family room...

Look at that beautiful window and beamed ceiling.

  The floor plan is so bright and open...

 The only thing I might change is the railing on the staircase, it was a little too modern for me.

This kitchen...

It is SO unique...

The industrial style open shelving, the beautiful stove, the subway tile backsplash and oven hood make this so pretty!  

This is the master suite...

 Don't you love the accent wall?  

 The master bathroom...

 I'm obsessed with the tile!

It also has a beautiful tub...

Once again...the tile!

Here is the loft upstairs...

 It's a nice space for the kids.

This is one of the bedrooms upstairs...

 I love how the walls have the same brick as the exterior and the fireplace.

This is an upstairs laundry room...

 

It's so charming with the wood walls, tiled floor and shelving.

This is the mudroom...

 A great place to hang coats, backpacks and shoes.  

The tile is AMAZING!

Here is a view into the bathroom...

Even the doorway is beautiful.

This house is filled with so many great details that add such charm.  

In the backyard, there was another huge garage and a nice covered patio. 

 This house was definitely unique.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Salt Lake Parade Of Homes 2015 {5 Trends}

It happens every August and there were some beautiful homes this year!

We were able to visit quite quite a few, so there might be a bit of a picture overload.

Here are a few trends I noticed:

1-Fun Floors:

These tiles are so beautiful, it's like artwork for your floors!

2-Pretty Fireplaces:

  This is my favorite...it's gorgeous!

I love the mix of stone and white woodwork.

Here is a more traditional brick fireplace. 

 It made the fireplace a great focal point by carrying the brick to the top of the ceiling. 

I also love the furniture in this room!

White woodwork...

 It makes the room so bright and beautiful.

This was from one of my favorite homes, I love the painted brick! 

The dark wood mantel gives it a nice contrast.

The paneled fireplace also makes this room stand out...

It's a beautiful family room.

3-Craftsmen Style Elements:

The exterior of this home is one of my favorites.

The porch and corbels make this house so charming.

The interior of this home definitely had some craftsmen style charm...

 Now that is a column, It is gorgeous!

I also loved this beamed ceiling with the ceiling fans.

4-Beautiful Kitchens with Unique Oven Hoods:

This kitchen is amazing... I love the stove and herring bone tile backsplash!

This grey kitchen was a nice change from all of the white ones.  

I'm a huge fan of a white kitchen, but this one is still bright and warm.

The shape of the oven hood is also pretty unique.

This kitchen was also from my favorite house, it deserves it's own blog post...

 GORGEOUS...It is so unique and that stove is amazing!

 Everything about this is beautiful! 

5-Beauty With Function:

A drinking fountain in the mudroom.  

{My kids want one}

The shelf with the laundry baskets is a wonderful idea.

The desk area off the kitchen with beautiful barn doors to hide the mess.

Here is another brilliant idea for your pantry...

Such an easy way to bring the groceries in from the garage.

A huge walk in pantry is also a great idea if you have the space.

This years parade had so many beautiful homes that were filled with LOADS of inspiration!

Parade Of Homes: Inspiring Living Rooms

We are in the middle of changing our living room. 

You can see what we've done so far

 HERE.

The Salt Lake Parade Of Homes was back in August and I found some very "inspiring" living rooms!
Here are a few of my favorites...

 This living room is neutral, yet bright!  I loved the furniture too...the chairs are adorable!

 The fireplace was AMAZING!!  

The woodwork is so beautiful and I love the built in bookcases on each side.

 I like the bright colors in this room.  Once again, the couch and cute chairs made the room! I'm also surprised by the blue color of the fireplace, it's not traditional, but it looks pretty.

 I loved the vaulted ceilings and windows in this room!  

The tufted couches and the striped chair in the corner were so dreamy!  If it was in the budget for new living room furniture, this is the style I would pick!

 I thought the accessories in this room were great! 

 The pillows pulled the room together and brightened up the neutral couch.

 This was a long narrow living room and they really used the space well. 

 I love how they put the bench as a "center piece" between the two coffee tables and couches.  

The fireplace was also very unique!

 This room felt a little more modern.  I really liked the coffee table and mirror.  

I loved the pillows in this room too.  

They are such a great accessory because they are easy to change, but can change the whole style of a room!

This living room feels cozy!
I loved the planked fireplace with the shelving on the sides, it's so charming!

This room was so pretty!  I love how it had the beach house feel, but was still elegant!

 I thought the mantel on this fireplace was gorgeous!  

I LOVED the windows on each side of the fireplace too, I wish it wasn't getting dark when we were there, so you could see the view of the mountains out on the deck...beautiful!

I also loved this fun color combination with the orange and black patterned pillows.  It was different, yet it all pulled together!

I hope you have been "inspired" by these living rooms, I think they were all so beautiful!

I've been trying to get rid of all the "brown" in my living room. 

Here is what it looked like a few months ago...

 We painted the walls and added new trim.  Then this last weekend, I painted the mirror you see in the picture above a gray color. 

I also found a clock to go above my piano. It was the perfect shape and style, just the wrong color.  I also sprayed it gray and sanded the edges to give it an antique look. 

It's starting to come together!  

I hope to show you next week!

Parade Of Homes 2014: Beautiful Bedrooms

There were so many beautifully decorated bedrooms!

I probably took way too many pictures, but here are 'quite' a few of my favorites!

Enjoy...

 I love the simplicity of this room!  The bedding and wallpaper are adorable!

 I thought this bed was unique, I like how it had such a tall headboard.

 This was an adorable girls room!

I love the tufted bed, pillows, bedding & colors!

 The curtains were ADORABLE!
I also love that the bathroom connected to this room had a ruffled curtain to match the other room...

Ruffles are so fun for a girls bedroom!

 I loved the the woodwork behind this bed...it was stunning! 

 The bright colors were fun in this room.  It's amazing how pillows and bedding really make the room!

 Oh, how I love the tufted headboards!  

After going to the parade of homes, I need more pillows on my bed!

I thought this room was fun!  The big letters and lighting were my favorite!

 Decorating with animal taxidermy seems to be popular, it's not really my favorite style, but this was a fun way to use it in a room!

 This was a beautiful room, I loved the bed (notice it's tufted!) and the picture collage.  It had a little too much furniture in the room.  I think a bench at the end of the bed would of looked nicer, but it was still very pretty!

 This was my favorite master bedroom!

The colors were so calming!

I LOVED this wood headboard!  It is so unique & such a pretty color!

 This nightstand is perfect...It is such a pretty color! 

 The "beachy" theme was a trend I noticed in quite a few of the homes.  I love it!

This was on the opposite side of the bed...

 I thought it was a beautiful room!

I loved this toddler room, The antique bed was beautiful!

 This room is a little more modern, which usually isn't my favorite style, but I loved the chevron wall!

This room was pretty beautiful too... It's my alma mater, Go Utes!

After touring all of these bedrooms, I am now in love with the tufted & upholstered beds!  

I also noticed the bedding makes a huge difference in the look and feel of a room!
We changed our master bedroom a few years ago & it's amazing how the bedding affects the whole look of the room!  I'm not sure why I loved the gold & red so much...ha,ha, ha! If you'd like to see the before & after, just click the link below:
