2012 Northern Wasatch Parade of Homes Part 2

My highlights from the parade continued :)

Del Mar by Henry Walker

As far as paint colors, we are still seeing a lot of cool tones like blues and greens as a hot trend with pops of bold colors like in these beautiful accent pillows. 

Classic white kitchen. A detail I loved was the ceiling. It appears to be a wood planked ceiling but is actually wallpaper! I'm not sure if it translates in the picture, but it really brought a lot of character to the space. 

I enjoyed the architecture of this beautiful mantle. 

From the honey comb tile to the darling wall paper, I love the little details of this laundry room.

Traditional Tivoli by Ivory Homes

I really need to find an excuse to use some of these gorgeous spindle chairs... Ivory always does a great job in my opinion. I loved the details in this home.

I love the mixing of vintage glassware, plates, linens on this pretty table scape.

How incredibly gorgeous is that Moroccan tile inspired backsplash?! Love it!

I'm dying over this rich shade of blue velvet in this upholstered headboard. Always love the Chiang Mai Dragon fabric they used on the llinens as well.

Warm master bath with elegant wallpaper.

What a darling gender neutral nursery - that wallpaper and chandelier are to die for.

Sweet little bedroom. It's all in the details with the gorgeous linens.

Example of tangerine tango (Pantone color of the year) done thoughtful and so well. The wallpaper in this home was done very tastefully I thought. 

A smart idea for a guest room is to include a little desk area. Loving this beautiful Chinese Chippendale chair that we are seeing a lot of lately.

Bachester by Brighton

Leather sofas done right.

Pretty pendant lights and backsplash.

The grasscloth wallpaper ceiling is a beautiful touch - it brings your eye up to the tall ceilings. I need to do this in my next home! Maybe in a gray or soft green/blue hue... 

Darling bedroom. 

I loved the architectural details in this room! What a fun molding and shelf for a childs room.

Fairfield Model by Candlelight

If you are hesitant on mixing different furniture pieces in one room, consider trying it in your dining area. These linen nailhead chairs are a beautiful contrast to the wood.

Warm, contemporary kitchen.

Detail of backsplash...

In love with these night stands!

Henry Walker in Mountain Green

The tone on tone stripes flanking the mantle is beautiful.

Bright and fun breakfast area. 

 Pretty master. I really enjoy all the mixing of woods for a more collected and thoughtful look.

Sweet girls room with pinks and blues. DIY idea: paint an old dresser, cover a drawer with fabric and add stenciling for an expensive vintage look. 

 Fun nautical inspired boys room.

Fun pattern in the rug and there is that spindle style love seat again that I am loving at the moment.

Mountain Ledges by RW Custom

Mountain home with a view!

Warm kitchen, love those glass pendants.

I would not mind having this view outside my deck!

Tuscan Creek by RW Custom

Love the custom cabinentry... 

Sweet little girls room.

That concludes your personal tour from me :) Hope you enjoyed and are inspired. I'd love to know your favorite!

2012 Northern Wasatch Parade of Homes Part 1

I had the chance to see many of the homes in the Northern Wasatch Parade this year.  Like every year, there were the good, the bad, and the ugly! I have compiled some of my favorite ideas for your viewing.

The Bridgeport by Henry Walker

Interior Design: http://robertgmcarthurstudios.com/

Unique application of open frames above the fireplace.

The wall paper used in the kitchen is probably something I would have not picked out, but it is such a fun application and I think it works for the space.

Love the Schumacher fabric in the custom bedding.

Darling little loft with vintage pieces.

Georgetown Craftsman by Rainy Homes

I love the architectural details throughout this home.

Who wouldn't want to unwind in that gorgeous freestanding tub with a view like that?!

What a fun little sectional in the rec room! And that view!!

The Harrison by Sky Properties (Skillco Construction)

Darling girls room. I love the unique chandelier.

The Lincoln by Mercedes Construction

Use of mixed wood finishes (white and grey) and granites done beautifully.

Love the light and the idea of a chalk board wall in the family "hub".

The storage baskets shown here are a great family friendly design idea. Just store away toys for a tidy space! 

Fun pops of colors in bedroom. We are still seeing painted furniture as a hot trend. What an easy and affordable DIY project. Do you think you could go bold with this cut grass color?

Gorgeous installation of tile in herringbone pattern.

Tranquility by Martineau Homes Inc.

Loving all the attention to details on the millwork in this home. I would love to curl up with a book on one of these window seats flanking the fireplace!

What a neat feature these sliding barn doors were for the option to close off the library that is open to the front if privacy is needed.

I am dying at this kitchen. The mercury glass pendants, beautiful to ceiling cabinentry and backsplash were all very tastefully done. 

Every woman needs a vanity like this! Simply open the doors to makeup lighting and all your every day products, straightener, etc, and close for an instantly polished and clean bathroom. So very practical.

Great architectural lines in this little bedroom. 

I enjoyed how some of the theater rooms are a little more open to the kitchen and bar but still make a statement. 

This second kitchen was a breath of fresh air and so fun with the all the mixing of finishes. It was the right dose of risk for me without being overdone. 

Darling bedroom with feminie details including a chandelier that was to die for!

I don't think I would even mind doing laundry if I had this room to do it in! That tile backsplash is gorgeous. 

What. A. Yard. Imagine a back yard wedding or any entertaining.

I hope you enjoyed some of the details like I did. Stay tuned for my favorites from the parade part 2!
