Parade of Homes

This past weekend Dan and I went to the St. George Parade of Homes and had such an awesome time!!!  First off, thank you to my sister in law Becky & her parents for getting us tickets.  I was a little unsure if Dan would have fun walking through houses, but we both loved it!  In fact, Dan told me he wants to attend next year :).  Yay!  There were 26 houses on the list and we made it to 15 of them.  Hopefully next year we will get to see all of them.  The houses ranged in price from $150,000 to $4.5 million.  We loved seeing the million dollar homes b/c how often do you get to go in one of those???  It was also fun to see some of the cheaper homes and get ideas on how we want to decorate our home.  It really helped because after parade of homes we have completely changed the color scheme for the home we are building.  Anyway I took lots of pictures of the things I loved... here are a few.... even though it's all way cooler in person:

Cute window seat.  We are going to have one of these in our home, so I wanted to get a picture of how to make it look cute!

Wall of windows & awesome fireplace in 3 million dollar home.

Pool @ 3 million dollar home.

I just love the subway tiles in the shower.  We are considering using them in our future home.

I just thought the white sectional was pretty cute.

Amazing kitchen in 4 million dollar home.

Pretty cool back splash.  It looks woven, but they are all little tiles!

Really cool sinks.
I thought this back splash would be cute in a kids bathroom.

Shower in the 4 million home.  This only shows half of it.  It had beautiful glass and about 20 shower heads.  You enter on one side and exit on a different side.  Best shower I have ever seen!
 Ok that's all.  The homes were all beautiful and had really unique features and details.  It was also fun because in each garage there are vendors and Dan bought me a Scentsy.  I have to say, I am pretty impressed!  The kind we got smells so good and fills our whole apartment. 

We are already excited to go next year and we have even discussed going to the Parade of Homes in Utah County in June!  That's how much we loved it :).
