Dream Home?
On February 19th the winner of HGTV’s Dreamhome 2010 will be chosen. This is the fourteenth Dream Home since it started in 1997. The house is located in Sandia Park, New Mexico, and has eighteen rooms (counting the 3 car garage). Let’s take a look at a few of them:
*
Calm green bedroom with light green walls with brown and cream accents. Also, all trim and window frames are painted a demure blue. If this was my bedroom, I would paint the ceiling, I have a personal war going on with bare wood surfaces.
*
The same bedroom viewed from the bed. To the left is a “sunrise room”, separated by a wall with an open fireplace and a flat screen TV. To the right is the master bathroom, with blue sliding doors to the tub. You don’t of cause need to climb through the tub to get to the bathroom, there is a normal entry on the side.
Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Svelte Sage.
*
The color scheme is the same in the master bathroom, but with less brown for a lighter cleaner look.
*
One thing I noticed in this house is the extensive use of tiles. In this kitchen for example, the whole wall behind the stove is covered in tiles. This kitchen is in open plan solution with the living area though, so I guess it is a nice way of defining the kitchen area. What do You think?
*
And with that I had to cover this beautiful “casita” (as they call it), a tiny bedroom with a built in bathroom (see below). I was really surprised they made a feature wall of tiles behind the bed…
*
But it makes more sense when you see the bathroom placement. I would love to have a guest suite like this to offer my visitors, but personally I prefer a bit more privacy in the bathroom, lol!
The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Foxy.
*
There is just something about the color scheme in this home office that really speaks to me. I’m usually not into these muddy olive greens, but the pops of blue and red really freshens it up. Do you like it?
Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Sycamore Tan.
*
This second bedroom is lilac with whites and creams. Two single four poster beds invites guests to a cozy sleepover.
Wall color is Sherwin-Williams Ash Violet.
*
I love this detail shot. The chair is to die for, and the framed wall sconces are a great touch.
*
Which kid wouldn’t love this colorful bedroom with a Toy Story and Cowboy theme?
*
Turquoise and orange is a fresh color combination, but these both have black in them, which tones the colors down a lot.
The wall color is Sherwin-Williams Reflecting Pool.
*
Behind this wall is a bathroom shared between this room and the lilac guest bedroom.
*
So what do you think, is this your dream home? Are you entering the sweepstakes?
