Well as you could see in my last post we definitely were NOT on a
"Street of Dreams" Tour, in fact right now my house is anything but that with a major kitchen remodel going on!
So just for fun, let's go on a little tour of the
Paula Deen "Street of Dreams" home.
My husband and I went on this tour last summer and I fell in love with this house! I loved the color scheme and the overall feel of the home; elegant but not in any way over done.
Like any good blogger would do (when she remembers her camera) I took lots of photos and thought with all the mess and lack of "pretty" in my house right now, it would be fun to go on a little tour of the "Paula Deen" house to keep our spirits up...enjoy!
Right as you walked into the kitchen there was Paula peeking out of the pantry...hi Paula, lovely to see you!
Such a nice lady and not "fake" in any way :0)
As you can see, the colors in this beautiful kitchen were inspired by one of Paula's favorite colors, Aqua...I know this piece of trivia, because she told me when I chatted with her from inside that pantry...OK, so that part was in my dreams, actually that little tidbit was in the brochure!
To the right of this island (which was the size of Texas) was the built-in breakfast nook seating below...
I loved this little area, it was inviting and cozy and had a great view of the backyard which we'll head out to in a minute.
If you were sitting in the nook, which by the way, they wouldn't let me do...what's up with that! you could be part of the conversation with the cook but not be in the way...
below is the master suite bath...to die for beautiful!
I could picture myself waking up to this every morning, the soft muted colors welcoming me...
into this beautiful spa tub!
where you could peacefully take on the day...
the when you returned home that evening from your "million dollar a day" job, you could step into your huge, beautiful drive-in walk-in shower before greeting your guests' that are visiting...
one of which is staying in this room...
Now that we're all settled in for the evening, its time for a little cocktail party out in the covered patio below...
looks like the party is in full swing and most of our guests' have arrived!
This room is really a lovely, beautiful space. It has an enormous built-in gas fireplace, a big flat screen TV above it and ample seating for guests' to mingle by the fire...
Or maybe watch a little of the "Paula Deen show" on the Food network out here...
Then as we linger into evening, we'll cozy up here for dinner by the fireplace with its wonderful stone work and high ceilings...
As the evening wares on, we'll sit at the outdoor table and reminisce about our
"The Street of Dreams" tour
and look forward to our "other kitchen" being done...someday...soon...
Terry-What a fun tour. I love the built in banquette in the kitchen. I got talked out of mine and now wish I had held out for it. What a pretty kitchen she has and I LOVE that outdoor space! WOW...hang in there, kiddo- the kitchen WILL be done! xo Diana
ReplyDeletePaitence....patience!!! Your kitchen will make Paula's pale in comparison! That IS a beautiful house, though. Thanks for sharing the photos. It makes me want to go clean mine. I'm not going to, but it makes me WANT to! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow!!! What a house! I could live on the back porch!!!! Thank you for sharing that. Lots of inspiration! We leave tomorrow to look for a house in MN! Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm having an envy attack just looking at these photos! Gorgeous house, just right decor. Not too much, not too little. Interesting. Jeeze, I need to get it together a bit more :)
