The design inspiration is a home in the Hamptons, specifically Diane Keaton’s home in the movie Something’s Gotta Give. It is 6500 square feet of comfortable yet luxe living in the town of Oakville.
The kitchen cabinetry, walls and trim are painted Para’s Melt Down, a deep grey. You would think that it feels dark but there is light coming in from windows on both sides so it is actually cozy and bright at the same time.
What I love about this showhome, and previous ones designed by the H&H team, is that all of the sources are listed. Paint colours, fabrics, furniture, flooring and cabinetry sources are all listed here.
If you are unable to visit in person, you can watch video tours here. There is still room this Saturday (as of right now) for a DIY event at the showhome with H&H staff which I have signed up for.
It’s fitting that I am writing this post now as a young mom to a classmate in my daughter’s class lost her battle with cancer this week. She leaves behind her family including an 8 year old and 2 year old. It’s heartbreaking. Please purchase a ticket here. You are supporting a worthy cause and have the chance to win this beautiful home - furnished, decorated and landscaped.
Have you seen the showhome yet? What did you think?
(I have been playing around with a new photo editing program, thanks to the Blogging Your Way e-course I am currently in with Holly and Leslie. What do you think of the layouts?)
I bought myself a ticket too....important cause....i visited the home...it was indeed beautiful, wish it had more than 3 bedrooms though, but I would have no problem living in it when i win!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about that young Mom. That is so sad and to leave behind such a young family. I wish I could go to the show house, but I will have to be happy with pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the layout :-) What photo editing program are you using?? I use Picnik.
ReplyDeleteI preferred last year's PMH home, although there are elements in this one that I do like -- especially the huge window above the kitchen sink. And the exterior is beautiful and definitely welcoming :-)
Sorry to hear about the mom who lost her battle with cancer. This is why supporting cancer research is so important -- cancer touches everyone in some way, and the sooner we find a way to cure it, the better. I'm sure it'll happen one day.
Enjoy your weekend,
Kelly
The house is beautiful, I think I particulary like the exterior because it reminds me of Something's gotta Give {it's my fav movie!}. I wish I could see it in person, but from the pics it does look fab.

what an incredible home!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous. You can't go wrong with the Something's Gotta Give house as inspiration, right? Happy weekend, Vanessa!
