Parade of Homes Highlights

The Salt Lake City Parade of Homes 

tours are open until August 18th, 2012.

Hunny & I spent the day perusing some of the homes. 

{And just took pics of pretty homes like this one . .  .}

I loved the use of color this year. 

And there was a sense of fun in the decor.

If I could have a wish come true in my home,

it would be a barn door . . .

Of course, I had to see the DIY Blogger House

featuring some favorite local blogging celebrities -

Jen, Shelley, Char, Lara, & Amy.

{It's not easy to figure out, so here's a tip:

the blogger house is #12 - "The Annabella"}

If you read their blogs, you can see each blogger's 

influence in the decor of this home.

One home knocked my socks off with 

all charcoal grey walls, molding, doors, closets, 

shelves in the closets . . . everything!

The result was a very modern, sleek, seamless look.

I absolutely adored the "Brinton-Dahl" home {#7}

originally built in 1885 & recently remodeled. 

The builders kept as many of the original elements as possible.

It was all just fun, fun, fun!
