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.

This little nook is the entry into our primary bedroom, and it is very functional. I designed a full wall of built-ins to store extra bedding and have an easy place to tuck away throw pillows when the bed isn’t made.

When we were building, we really tried to think through how we actually live—creating a place for everything so staying organized is easy.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: PRIMARY BEDROOM✨

🤎comment SHOP for sources
➡️ swipe for before & after

This room got a full facelift. 1st thing…the tile needed to go. I’m not a fan of tile in a bedroom. We carried the wood floor throughout & that alone made a HUGE difference.
Next we updated the doors and added some applied picture molding to the walls. This is an inexpensive way to really elevate a space. A lot of times people don’t know what to do with blank walls so they fill them with art. I wish I had a good before picture of this room before we took everything off the walls. There were so many mix matched art pieces with sayings, etc. to fill the space. Sometimes less is definitely more and trim finishes a space while simplifying it.
Lastly we just updated the decor. We found all the furniture on Facebook Marketplace. 
We also removed a bunch of furniture from this room.
One major theme in this entire home remodel was less is more.

🌴SPRING BREAK🌴
We headed to LA for the 1st part of Spring Break & had so much fun.

•spent a day at Universal Studios
•enjoyed Santa Monica, the pier, the beach, 3rd st promenade 
•explored Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Melrose, the Grove, Sunset, Hollywood, Taylor Swifts house…we packed a lot in
•got to see a taping of America’s Got Talent. It was so much fun seeing the acts live, hearing the judges feedback & we even saw 1 person get a golden ticket!! The show will air in June, but will be a fun season to watch.

It was a great trip & we still have several more days to enjoy the break at home!

✨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.
