This weekend, I grabbed by giiiiiiirls + threw them in the swag-a-van + dove 3 hours south to actual civilization + and stumbled upon...
the Utah Valley Parade of HOOOOMES!
There were so many cool and inspiring houses and a few.... bummers.
But overall, we (yes, we. allllll of us) LOVED it.
So, here are a few of the trends we noticed + how we feel about them.
#1: PLAAAAAY ROOOOOOMS!
Y'all know I love me a good play room and this one is straight-up bonkers.
I mean. I would actually live in the playhouse over the real house.
#2: WAAAALLPAPER!
holy. wall. paper.
I knew wallpaper was having a moment, but..... whoa.
so. muuuuuch. wallpaper.
some good. some bad. some just straight insane.
Pull the bandwagon up and get me a stool cause I am climbing aboard.
#3: OVERSIZED LIIIIIIIIIIGHTING!
Let there be LIGHT!
If there is one thing I tell every single client, it's DO. NOT. FORGET. YOUR. LIGHTING.
Don't do it.
Do NOT.
do it.
Oh, and P.S. Bigger really is better.
#4: METAL RAILINGS
Me before the Parade:
"Metal railings are for outside."
Me after the Parade:
"Oh, okay. No, they're not."
#5: BUILT-IN BUUUUUNK BEEEEEDS!
Utah = Mormons.
Mormons = Bunches of Kids.
Bunches of Kids = BUNK ROOM!
Baaam.
#5: WAAAATER PAAAARKS!
You just built your dream house, you might as well build your dream waterpark right outside, right?
I say hailz yah. You do that.
#6: FROOOOONT DOOOOORS!
Lots of awesome front doors, only one picture though.
#7: SIIIIINKS!
When it comes to sinks, they either sink or float. And these sinks didn't sink.
Ba dum dum.
#8: KOOOOOOKY KRAAAAZYINEEEEESSSS!
There was some awesome wierdness going on in the Parade and I loved. every. inch. of. it.
For example...
A ski lift.
Give this designer a trophy.
Now.
A stripper oh, I mean, a fireman pole.
A full-size-mural-covered basketball court slash rock climbing gym.
Yaaaaaas.
Classy bathroom art.
(Why though?)
A stuffed-penguin-window-well-lifestyle-display.
There are VERY few things that can make a basement window well actually look worse.
Enter the stuffed penguins.
Swinging playroom table.
I actually invented this in 5th grade and I'm not sure if I want to sue this designer or marry her.
#9: DRINKING FOUNTAINS!
Always a good idea.
(Plus, there were more, but I only took 592 pictures, so I had to be selective. Obviously.)
#10: CREATIVE USE OF DEEEEEAD SPAAAAACES!
And #11: the best discovery of the UV Parade of Homes...
WE LOVE THE PARADE OF HOMES!
We really, really,
LOOOOOOOOOVED IT.
