Home-a-Rama 2014: Week 4

My favorite element of the formal dining room were these fantastic chairs. The fabric and nailhead trim gave them a more traditional feel, while the metal head chairs added a modern vibe.

I always love a two-toned kitchen, but the island lights are what really caught my attention.

Mom always needs a place to keep the household organized, and this desk area off the kitchen is a great place to do just that!

This family room had a ton of great design details. I love how the space feels (and looks) high-end while maintaining a comfortable and welcoming vibe.

This morning room is one of my favorite areas from all the homes. At first glance it appears to be a well thought out space with a lot of light and some nice traditional accents. Until you look more closely at the chandelier – which is made from recycled glass bottles! (Plus, you can never go wrong with beams on the ceiling).

OK, I had to throw in a detail shot of the light fixture. It’s so amazing, and I want one for myself!

This master bedroom is seriously perfection. From the tray ceiling detail to the window above the bed – everything has been planned with detail. I love the calming neutral palette and all of the textures they’ve incorporated.

The master bedroom also had a cozy fireplace and comfortable seating area for relaxing in the evenings … who wouldn’t want that?

This isn’t a huge space by current standards, but they did a wonderful job in the space planning which allowed for a seating area for two.

I vote for a basement bar like this in my next home! They got every detail right … from the incredible lighting fixtures to the fabulous grey nail-head trim bar stools!

The basement incorporated a game area complete with pool table, and to maximize seating, they added this built-in bench area. What a great idea for entertaining … and the stools are a nice added touch.

I love this modern barn door into the card room!

So, here’s the “man’s room.” I really appreciate the idea of incorporating a separate room just for the guys to hang out in. I’m pretty sure my husband would spend all of his time in here!

No basement entertainment area is complete without a theater room. They did a great job making this a fun and comfortable family space. It was really like another living area for the family to enjoy.

One of the things I appreciated most about the basement was this sort of “foyer” area. The stairwell down was split to have this entry area, and I think it really helped make the space feel less like a basement.

Here’s a shot of the family room from upstairs. The drapes hanging from the second-floor really make the space feel huge.

Bright and colorful boys room. I’m dying to DIY this name art!

The girl’s room was a bit much for me with the purple ombre paint all around … but these triangle shelves really caught my attention. So beautiful!

My favorite part of the loft was the built-in homework stations on either side of the tv media cabinet.

Here’s a closeup of the homework area. I love the organization and the built-in look of the space. If only real children could keep it looking like this!

Outdoor patio area with a fireplace and a water feature. Beautiful!
