Parade of Homes

We went to the Parade of Homes last weekend in St. George.  It was a little disappointing comapred to last year, but we still got lots of great ideas.  This year seemed less exciting, more practical and more modern and sterile.  Here are pics of the things we loved and some captions.

This was a countertop we liked, especially the edge...

We LOVE this mix of wood and tile flooring

This stone archway was fun

Loving this entertainment center

We liked the look of these closet doors

LOVE this backsplash.  It just needs a pot filler

This bed is what we want to have someday.  Don't you love how much these people love their dogs?  LOL

This shower had frosted windows into the bedroom

Love this backsplash and vent hood

The lighting is a fun addition to the increasingly common niches

More of those stone accents

I like this mudroom for an awkward space

We LOVE pretty garage doors

A close up of the fancy door

I liked this piece of art for a girl's room

This is a fun built in entertainment center

LOVE LOVE LOVE this huge pantry

I liked this bedding set

This tilework is amazing

Floor plan for Mom

This is a super fun way to make your artwork pop

LOVE the craft center

A fun way to add a simple yet beautiful waterfall to a small space

A wall design I think Diane would like

This is a beautiful alternative to typical tile

I loved this curtain

Tilework for Diane's fireplace?

Basement (or guest) kitchenette

Theater room

Framed projector screen....just add curtains

Close up of white fireplace

AMAZING door...the glass panels can open up for air but they are frosted so people can't see right through

We liked the combination of tiles here

LOVE this kitchen

Such a beautifully detailed niche

Awesome tilework in a shower

This is in a closet....how awesome is that?

Also in the closet...love it

Those are doors that open up all the way to combine porch and living room

That deck opens up to this pool with a spillover hot tub and rain curtain over the beach entry to keep the porch cool

The pool has a fake tree rope swing, dive rocks, a waterfall, and rock slide

More from above

A mud room with laundry and dog crates...what a great place to keep the dog when you need to go out

More awesome tilework

We loved this entry with the staircase and walkway over the entry

Love this exterior

Another fun built in entertainment center

This is a master sitting area

The seats in the master

A cute, fun, tasteful girls room

Fireplace in the courtyard...love it

Pebble shower floor...sounds uncomfortable but it's actually amang

View of the courtyard firepit (at the top) and waterfall (bottom of the window view towards the left) from the guest suite

One of my favortie small pantries....love the slide out baskets and the door

Wall to wall windows with a view? Yes, please

I like the idea of this door, but not sure I want to be that visible when I approach the door

An idea for installing a fiberglass hot tub

This masterbath had a TV IN THE MIRROR...see it there?  It's hard to photograph

Classiest murphy bed we have ever seen...I think I've finally converted Tom...

A very low key mud room type area

Can you even tell that's a murphy bed?

This kitchen had TWO islands...

In this kitchen the microwave, plates and a few drawers are hidden behind big doors when not in use

This outdoor balcony was tiled with the faux wood tiles and it looked awesome

This counter is backlit onyx...it's so fun

Here it is backlit

I loved how fun the mix of tile is here

They framed a normal wall mounted TV....I would never think of that but it looks nice

This master closet has a pass through hamper to the laundry on the other side of the wall

This movie theater had the coolest doors

If I ever find one of these with a Conoco logo we might have to pitch in to get it for Dad

Amazingly posh guest suite

I liked this carpet

This kitchen had a back galley kitchen for the pantry and oven

Another flooring combo we like...wood to carpet...seemless

This niche is unique but it's not really my style

Love this exterior...except for the brick rows...

Another nice pantry...but I'd want a bigger food storage area somewhere

Such a cool trim for the island

LOVE this ceiling

One of my favorite closets...

Ceiling and fireplace...

A swinging bed....on the porch....wow...

Love this kitchen...the pendant lights....the island...the backsplash...the vent hood...all of it

Same kitchen....I liked the blue back to the glass door cabinets

Bedroom ceiling and chandelier

Vanity outside the shower and closet
