Hey yall! Happy 38 frickin days before Christmas….oh my goodness….game on am I right?!?! We had a great weekend here…celebrated my friends 40th bday on Friday…and lots of lounging to recover on Saturday and Sunday. I did get to work yesterday a bit and started to decorate. I’m keepin it simple this year….and it’s looking real nice:) I’ll share a fun project with you this week that I made yesterday. I used the very last piece of my old fence part-–that little fence made 3 projects for my house! Never pass one up!
I have told you about the house that I worked on with Mark Simpson Builders a few timesβ¦.And I wanted to share with you a few pictures of the completed home. It really turned beautiful. The newly married couple just moved in last weekβ¦.and before the closing I popped in to take a few pictures. It is always fun to see new productsβ¦and even just reworking some products that have been around forever.
The exterior colors are Delicate White (PPG paint), Crazin Cranberry door (ppg), and Trim is Flagstone (ppg paint).
You walk into a foyer similar to our houseβ¦Color on the walls is Natural Choice by Sherwin Williams. A delicate non color that is a nice backdrop. On the bench, our trim carpenter did a herringbone pattern for the top and it was stained Jacobean by Minwax (as well as the floors.) (Floors are rustic grade Solid Hickory. )
β¦.then you step into this family roomβ¦and gradually into the open kitchen spaceβ¦.Family room is painted 1/2 strength of Aloof Gray (Sherwin Williams sw6197). All the trim is painted Pure White (SW 7005.)
I shared the fireplace tile on instagram a while backβ¦.it is one of my favorite features. I talked about it a little here tooβ¦.I love the chunky cedar mantle paired with this delicate muted hex tileβ¦.perfect.
The first thing you see when you move into the kitchen is the dining spaceβ¦.love the board and batten trim in hereβ¦.
The kitchen is painted 1/2 strength of Sea Salt (sw 6204)β¦.
β¦..then you come to this massive awesome island where I did my reclaimed look wood treatment. The counters on the perimeter are honed milky way graniteβ¦the island is quartzβ¦..
I think this moroccan backsplash is one of my favsβ¦.we paired it with a charcoal groutβ¦it is stunningβ¦.
You continue to the back of the kitchen area and there is a really nice sitting space (perfect for some leather reading chairsβ¦.then you will come upon a locker βdropβ zone where we did a fun trim detail and chalkboardβ¦
8 inch rough pine was painted the trim color and then sanded to reveal some of the grain. Perfect spot to drop your purse:)
I love the mixture of the stained woods with the bright white trimβ¦.classicβ¦.
The dining space has this fabulous wet bar space that is perfect for entertaining. We did traditional subway tile with gray groutβ¦.stained woodβ¦hone milky way graniteβ¦it came together like it has been here for 100 yearsβ¦.love!
A few other neat touches are the large hex tile in the masterβ¦.we did it all the way to the ceilingβ¦a mixture of 3 colors of the same tile.
One of the guest baths has a black hex with white groutβ¦.and is painted Comfort Gray sw 6205β¦.
All the common spaces are painted Natural Choice sw 7011
The Master bedroom ceiling is cozy with these stained wood beams and the center we did 8 inch pine white washed. The walls are Comfort Gray sw 6205.
Hope that gives you a few ideas to use in your home. I adore this homeβ¦.I love that it is brand new but it has the character and warmth of an old home.
What is your favorite detail??

Oh Lordy, Lordy….that house!!!! I am in love with all the white trim/woodwork/mouldings and B & B! So clean and fresh. New homes here (in Montreal) do not get finished with any nice details like that. Just gorgeous. Amazing job, my friend :)
And the front door….how could I forget to mention the red front door! It’s so charming. And it’s so hard to find a good red. It either ends up too bright or too orangey – cranberry, however, is perfect!
