Good morning. Not too long ago I had the opportunity to walk through the Parade of Homes in our area. They were nothing short of spectacular. While these homes are quite large and well out of a realistic price range, it’s so fun to walk through and gather ideas. If I see a space I love, I look at the textures used or the combination of colors. I hope that these images are not only beautiful to look at, but potentially give you new and unique ideas to implement in your own home. Welcome to the tour.
COME ON IN
Just so beautiful. And wait until you see the kitchen.

WARM AND INVITING
This kitchen was a complete show stopper. It literally took my breath away. The moment you walk in it felt warm and inviting. It begs to be filled with friends and family all gathered around the islands. The use of stone and wood tones in this kitchen is so beautiful.

A GREAT ROOM BEAUTY
The kitchen opened up to this pretty space. What a great rug. And definitely eyeing how the mantel is styled. Really well done.
DREAMY BATHROOM
Head over heels for this bathroom. I LOVE that they used tile on the back wall versus a slab. Great takeaway as that is much more cost effective. And those sconces are incredible. Grab the towels here. This sconce is a similar style for less.

SMALL SPACE INSPIRATION

Some of my favorite spaces in these homes are the small ones. This is incredibly well done. From the door to the round window. The sconces are such a pretty choice. I also like the use of the round rug. I don’t think I have ever used a round rug before. Now I am looking around my home for a spot where I can do that.

BEAUTIFUL HOME
There were six home altogether and this was one of my favorite exteriors.

SHOW STOPPER
The most beautiful entry. I can see so many elements transferring over to a pretty laundry room. A checkered floor (love the neutrals) with a dark and moody rug. Such a pretty combination. That green ottoman is also so lovely.

STUNNING HALLWAY
Gasp. This groin vault series in the main hall is gorgeous. Repeating the same light fixture down the hallway is such a beautiful design choice.

LOVELY FAMILY ROOM
In this large family room, I love that they created two separate seating areas. What a great use of space. And those green sofas! So pretty. I also love the idea of two tables on either side of the fireplace. You don’t always need to do built ins or spend the money for custom cabinets. The dark paint with the tables is really quite pretty and a great idea.

BOY’S ROOM
What a striking boys room. The framed flag mixed with the brown and greens was just so good. Taking notes for my son’s room. I love so many elements in this room.
WELL DESIGNED BUNK ROOM
This built in bunk space was so well done. The full size beds are turned facing forward which I thought was a really great idea. And the stairs lining up with that is also so striking.

GORGEOUS KITCHEN
This is one of the most gorgeous kitchens I have ever seen. That ceiling. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable. And what an interesting idea to have the slab create the apron on the sink but still use an under mount. Great idea to consider if you are embarking on a kitchen remodel.

BEAUTIFUL BATHROOM
I wouldn’t mind walking into this bathroom every morning. Wow. Just wow. The views and that tub. Such a pretty combination of that tile and the vintage rug. I love the soft color palette in this bathroom. The dark tub helps ground the space.

Happy to move A Thoughtful Place headquarters to this spot!

In love with this plaid carpet.

OUTDOOR OASIS
If you need me, I’ll be right here. What a glorious outdoor space.

I must have taken 70 photos so it was definitely hard to pair it down. I hope you enjoyed walking through this with me and that you can take away little design ideas that are hidden within each of these photos. It’s not about replicating these grand spaces, but gathering inspiration for little vignettes and spaces in our own homes.
