Utah Valley Parade of Homes-The Phoenix

The last home I went through at the Parade of Homes was the Phoenix. It was named that because there had been a devastating house fire and it has risen from the ashes to become a beautiful home. I was so impressed with this home. Not for the size, tall ceilings, many bathrooms and bedrooms and swimming pool. It had none of these. I was impressed because of the archways, open areas, architectural details, wonderful colors, appealing design and even the smallest detail to accessories. This home was saved because of the family and the wonderful memories they shared within its’ walls. All is well, no one was injured in the fire and now they have a home that they were able to preserve with their memories and make even better. 

 

This is the far living room wall. I really like the plate shelves on the outside of the room and the darker diagonal shelves in the center. Look how the center of the wall has been brought out. I love the chandelier, sofa, lamp, plates and art. What a great color combination. 

 

This is the cove on the front wall of the living room. Look at how much light comes in and it’s north facing. I would love to spend all my time reading in this spot. I’m sorry I missed the chair in the lower right side of this picture. It’s amazing and looked great in this room. 

 

I love this all white kitchen. The room feels so open and fresh even though it’s not a very large area. I might really enjoying cooking in here. I really like the shelves between the two spice cabinets and the molding on the cabinets.                         

 

Awesome eat-in kitchen. This area looks so good it’s hard to believe it’s in the kitchen. I love the white wall with the architectural detail, the table and chairs, the art and that mirror is fantastic. Look at the nail head trim on the chairs. The floor is bamboo and looks and feels great.

This is a fun element to add to the shower area of a bathroom. I love the wall

color.

 

 

This is the office for the man of the house. He’s an architect, owns the home and designed the new plans for the home’s interior and exterior. He also did the interior design for the home. Very talented man! Love the chair. This room is open to the entry of the home to the right of the picture.

 

The master bedroom closet is not large, but very stylish. I love the archway. It could be covered with some beautiful sheer material. Look at that lamp too.

The master bedroom feels relaxing and calming. I love the headboard and the bench at the foot of the bed. Do you think they’d mind if I lie down for a minute?

 

 

 

The kids’ room is so fun. Look at this house. It even has a little doormat in front of the door. The bed is a loft bed in the back of the little playhouse, so there is lots of room to play on the floor. The window seat is really cute too. You can see a little of it in this picture. I love window seats. Look at that great light. So beautiful.

Here’s another view of the window seat with shelves on one side of it. Great for storing books to read in this cozy spot. 

This is a view of the living room through the office. Love the arches and the light. Great detail.

 

 

 

 

Play room under the stairs. What little girl wouldn’t want to have this kitchen set-up. Look at that great chair and little table. Love the orange rug.

 

 

 

Down stairs bathroom. I love black and white and the blue walls make it look so fresh. The cabinet is beautiful and I appreciate all the storage room it has.

 

 

 

 

How fun is this laundry/art studio? Love the vinyl shapes, the flooring, the art table and chairs. Okay, I love the whole room, even the washer and dryer. The three arches go into the family room.

 

 

Another view of the laundry/art studio. Look at that vinyl chair, the hat/coat rack, the bistro set and the flooring again. The little cut through is to the under stairs play room.

 

 

This is the family room that’s just on the other side of the art studio. I really like the shelves on each side of the fireplace. The colors in this room are so wonderful. I have never liked orange very much, but I am really starting to like it now.

 

 

 

 

They call this a mudroom. It’s not really a room, but it’s a functional little area that comes in from the back yard. I love the mirror and bench. You could add some shelving to the right side of the room (outside of the picture) to hold outdoor gear. It has a really nice archway too. 

 

This is the outside of the house. It was a basic split-level before the fire. I don’t know about other areas of the country, but they don’t build split-levels much around here anymore. And I never thought one would appeal to me, but this house is so amazing. Look at all the archways and details that have been added to the front. I love the round cut-out above the porch and the fun little roof lines that have been added. I’m happy for this family and their beautiful new home.
