Salt Lake Parade of Homes Teaser

So, I've been busily running around trying to see as many parade homes as possible.  It's hard to work it into my schedule when they aren't open in the mornings.  So far, I've had to drag my kids around to all of them, which is not ideal.  Lucy hates the booties, but she sure looks cute in them.

So far I'm definitely noticing some continuing trends like white kitchens, gray, and fresh, bright interiors.  I'm also noticing that exteriors are favoring the cottage craftsman look more and more over the faux european look from a few years ago.

Here are a few pictures of some of the exteriors and a room or two from each home.  This is home #27 by Tailor Built Homes.  Interior Design by Osmond Design.  This home was bright and airy, beachy, and transitional in style.

This modern stunner is by Emerald Homes.  Interior Design by Prickley Pear Interior Design.  The design of this home is refreshingly different from all the others in the parade.  The views are spectacular and the interior is mid-century modern.

This is home #8 by Cadence Homes.  Interior Design by Four Chairs Furniture.  This may be one of my favorites so far.  It is surely on trend with the color scheme and bright, airy feel, but stays away from being too "beach themed".

Home #10 is built by Steven Dailey Construction and decorated by Red Door Design.  This lovely is loaded with traditional Craftsman/cottage detail and features incredible views.

Have you been to the parade?  What have been your favorite homes so far?  I'm still compiling my final list of trends for the year and also my pick for best overall house.  Can't wait to show you!
