European Farmhouse Home Tour

April 25, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Friends…you are in for a treat today!  I am about to share with you the most stunning, drool worthy, European farmhouse home tour.  I dare you not to pin every picture!!  This dream home is right in my own town of McKinney, TX…in fact it is in my neighborhood…and guess what…it can be yours!

When we moved into our neighborhood almost 4 years ago we were one of the first homes.  I loved it because as new homes were being built I would walk through them and see all the different stages.  This is a dream for a home/design lover like myself.  I met the owners of this home while it was being built and they were telling me all about their design plans and I could not wait to see it complete.  They spent years collecting very unique pieces that the home was being designed around.  A total dream…right?!  Prepare to be blown away!European Farmhouse Home Tour (28)

It’s 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 4749 sq feet with a 3 car garage and it is on .625 acresEuropean Farmhouse Home Tour (9)

The whole house is crisp white which really makes all the beautiful details, furniture and architectural pieces stand out.  The flooring is tumbled marble herringbone and while it is beautiful…the best flooring is still to come (hard to believe right)!European Farmhouse Home Tour (1)

They installed antique french doors on the opening to their family room which you can see better in the next picture.European Farmhouse Home Tour (31)

Check out the reclaimed wood fireplace, beams and those shutters!  You can see a peek at my favorite flooring that I will tell you more about later.

You are now entering my favorite part of the house….the kitchen!  When I walked through this house as it was being built I was so confused by the floors.  They had not been installed yet and all of the steps in the house were made for a giant!  I mean I had to hold onto the wall when I stepped up or down into another room.  I could not figure out what was possibly going to be used as flooring and then when they told me it made perfect sense and was just perfection!  These wood floors are actually crates imported from Belgium!  I mean are you kidding me??!!!  How amazing is that!  You can see each individual section when you look at the floor.  They are super thick (hello crates) so they had to drop the floor down so when they were installed so everything was the right scale.

The floors, the beams, the antiques…I really cannot decide which is my favorite.  This is the most breath taking room.European Farmhouse Home Tour (22) European Farmhouse Home Tour (18) European Farmhouse Home Tour (29)European Farmhouse Home Tour (27) European Farmhouse Home Tour (12)European Farmhouse Home Tour (32) European Farmhouse Home Tour (30) European Farmhouse Home Tour (33)

Look how clean and relaxing the master bedroom is.  They painted the wood floors white.European Farmhouse Home Tour (15) European Farmhouse Home Tour (16) European Farmhouse Home Tour (21) European Farmhouse Home Tour (3)

This is “his” office.  Again, I die over the furniture…and that brick wall!

Look at this half bath sink!  The faucet comes out of the mirror!  They seriously thought of everything!European Farmhouse Home Tour (19)

Seriously incredible right??!!  I could stare at these pictures for hours!  The entire home is custom designed to perfection!  It is truly a dream home.  Like I mentioned above, this home is for sale.   I am so sad to see this amazing family move…they are the sweetest, but this could be YOUR future home.  I would love to hear below what your favorite part of the home is.  I know it will be so hard to choose!!

Be sure to pin this European Farmhouse Home Tour for later so you can be completely inspired again!

    Thank you for sharing this with us. My husband and I will be building a French country home within the next year. First time for building new for us….scary, but exciting. Everyday thoughts of the house plan swirl around in my head, planning furniture, design, ect…my passion. This has given me more to think about and much inspiration. Thanks.

      Oh that is so exciting! Congrats. I totally understand. We plan to build a farmhouse in the future and I spend way to much time designing it! Thanks for stopping by!!

    Is there any way you could let me know the color brick that you used on this home? I would greatly appreciate it. Beautiful home.

    • houseofhargrove@gmail.com says

      October 15, 2016 at 10:06 am

      Thank you so much but I don’t know. I know they used regular brick and then did mortar all over the entire home. What you are seeing is mortar….not the actual brick color. I think it is called German Schmere and then did a very heavy coat of it.

    Love this house! We are planning to build very soon. Is there a floor plan available? Who is the builder??

      Thanks….sorry it was a custom build. It was built by Huntington Homes but there is no floor plan.

    Wow!! When you said you dared me not to pin every picture, I was skeptical. Well you were right! Right, right right! I’d leave a whole paragraph or sonet, but I am off to google belgium crates for my house! lol

    • houseofhargrove@gmail.com says

      January 2, 2017 at 12:13 am

      haha! Thanks so much Christine!! Who knew crates would make such amazing flooring!

    Writing from Boulder where I am shocked at the low price of this amazing home…it would be four million here! Very nice home. A little stark for me, but wow anyway.

    The DOORS are awesome ~ my favorites ~ tho’ that kitchen floor is amazing, too! I love the front door, plus the tall sets of whitewashed (?) wooden double doors off the entryway …
    I just saw a short demo of the German Schmere technique this weekend! It is a great way to change the look of brick of which you are not overly fond, but retain just the few colors that appeal to you ~ in order to more easily achieve a lighter overall appearance!
    The entire home and surrounding lawn are gorgeous, and “just perfect” in my eyes! Thanks for sharing, KariAnne!

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I’m letting you in on a little secret...my potted flowers are not real 🤫

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

❤️AMAZON PRIME SALE❤️ : these are part of the big Amazon sale going on right now

Our family loves fruit, but I HATE how fast it goes bad! I cannot tell you how many times I have thrown out fruit for mold...in just a few days!!

These produce containers have been a game changer! They come in different sets on Amazon for a great price. I bought the 5 piece set because I wanted the larger size container.

They make it so easy to have quick, healthy food ready to go! Each container comes with a colander so you can rinse the fruit and then put it in the container. It allows air to circulate keeping the produce fresher longer!

Can be used for fruit, veggies, meat, etc!
-Dishwasher safe
-leakproof
-amazing reviews!!

🍓comment SHOP for links!
