McKinney Holiday Home Tour 2016 part 1

December 19, 2016 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Every year I look forward to the McKinney Holiday Home Tour.  It is amazing!  Our little downtown is just the cutest and there are tons of home around that have such history and character!  I have gone every year since 2008 and I even went 1 year in an ice storm.  Remember we are in Texas so everything shuts down for ice!  However, I was not going to miss it!!  Once again this year did not disappoint!  I take so many picture I have to divide it up in multiple posts.  Today I will be sharing Part 1…tomorrow Part 2 and the next day…Part 3!  You will want to see each one.  Trust me!  So welcome to the McKinney Home Tour 2016!

There are typically 5-7 homes on the tour and usually 2-3 really stand out to me.  This year was no different.  Rebekah from A Blissful Nest and I bundled up and headed out on this rainy day.  The first home I fell in love with was this adorable cottage.  The owner did such a cute job decorating it and the outdoor courtyard was like a movie!  These pictures are not the best!  They were taken with my iPhone in rainy weather, but you will be able to see all the charm.  Get ready for lots of pictures!

I just loved this huge porch!  It was all decorated with vintage finds!

 

This is the first room when you enter the home

After the entryway you turned left into the living room.

I loved these stockings!

She even decorated her deer!

The kitchen was very charming with a sweet chandelier, farmhouse sink and butcher block island.

This little built in sitting area was the other side of the kitchen.

One of the bedrooms….

the cutest bathroom!  I love the sliding door!

another bedroom…

Then you step outside to this amazing courtyard.  The guide told us they got married here!  I can see why!

This arch is absolutely amazing!!

I want my family Christmas card taken in front of that arch next year 🙂 !!  Thanks for coming on part 1 of the tour with me.  If you are local you really need to go to the McKinney Holiday Home Tour next year!  Come back tomorrow for part 2!

    I’m so glad you got all of these pictures! I always ask at least once but they say no so I’m chicken. 🙂

    The McKinney Home Tour is the best by far.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: POWDER BATH✨

This bath got a huge cosmetic update & reconfiguration.
It had a very awkward angle in the corner that kind of threw off the space. We disguised it with custom cabinetry and a faux panel. This added useful storage, design & now you’d never know there was a strange angle. 

🤎comment SHOP for sources

Some fun wallpaper, paint, counter details, hardware & sconces finished off this great space.

Now functional & beautiful.

How many cats does it take to officially be a cat lady…asking for a friend 😹

Meet Kaya & Strawberry our newest foster kitties! They are only with us two weeks, but we are soaking in every minute of their cuteness. Our first round of fostering failed… hence the newest member of the family Callie, but it was the best failure ever. ❤️

Does anyone else decorate for Memorial Day?
By the end of May I always start bringing out the red, white, and blue. It just feels like the start of summer to me. ❤️🤍💙

Last week we snuck away for a quick girls trip to Park City and had the best time 🤍
So much quality time, lots of laughs, and memories I’ll cherish forever. It was my first trip to Utah and I absolutely loved it…the scenery, the charm, all of it. Also loved finally getting to visit @the_fox_market in person… I’ve always adored everything they do!

Duck update 🦆

If you’ve been following along in my stories, a mama duck made herself at home in the planter by our pool and laid 11 eggs. For the last month, she faithfully sat on them every day…with occasional pool dates with her duck daddy. 🤍

Last week, 9 little ducklings hatched and the whole family has now relocated somewhere new. It was such a fun thing to watch.
We will miss our little duck friends, but I will not miss all the poop 🤦🏼‍♀️.
