This weekend I had the privilege of spending a few hours at the 2014 Birmingham Parade of Homes Ideal Home. It is an absolutely stunning home in the Ross Bridge neighborhood of Hoover, and it was built by Murphy Home Builders. The incredible interiors on this home were a joint project between the builder and interior designer Bee Martin Little at Set to Sell Staging. I promised you a full tour last week, so without further ado…
As you enter the home through the foyer, the formal dining room is immediately to your left. Though it is considered the “formal” dining room, the room’s relaxed feel makes it much more comfortable and inviting than a traditional stuffy dining room.
The color of the walls is Sherwin Williams’s Intellectual Grey, and it is accented by a beautiful patterned tone-on-tone wallpaper on one accent wall.
And it is crowned with a lovely tray ceiling and two gorgeous lantern pendants.
Connecting the dining room to the kitchen is a wonderful butler’s pantry.
Though a butler’s pantry is typically a small room, even the smallest details received attention.
The butler’s pantry leads you into the to-die-for kitchen.
Can’t you imagine entertaining family and friends in this gorgeous and well-planned space?
The kitchen adjoins the family room.
And just off the back side of the kitchen and family room is a lovely breakfast room that has windows on three sides. Oh, the beautiful natural light in this cozy space!
This built-in bench provides a ton of seating!
Just out the back door is a lovely outdoor room, complete with lots of seating, a TV, and a fireplace to warm the space on cool nights.
The master bedroom suite is a calm, peaceful retreat. It would be the perfect space to end a long day.
The gorgeous paint color is Sherwin Williams’s Sea Salt.
The artwork in the room ties it all together wonderfully.
And the room is toped off with this beautiful tray ceiling with white-washed pine planks and distressed chandelier.
The bedrooms flows right into the master bath, which is a lovely combination of marble, tile, beautiful fixtures, and bold pattern.
Heading downstairs, there is a man cave with another complete kitchen.
The downstairs area also features a large media room, a small game room, a guest bedroom, and a full bathroom. Upstairs boasts, several bedrooms (I lost count. Maybe four??), an additional kids’ media room, and several more bathrooms. Needless to say, there is plenty of room in this home for family and guests. But the things that make it so special are the details.
Like the wallpaper accent wall in the guest bathroom…
The drink fridge in the kitchen island…
The detail on the interior doors…
The stunning light fixtures…
The octagon tile in the kids’ bath…
And the stamped and stained concrete sidewalk…
Somebody is going to be very happy raising their family in this home!
The Parade of Homes continues next weekend, April 12 and 13, from 10:00-6:00 on Saturday and 1:00-6:00 on Sunday. There are 77 homes on the Parade this year, so get out and see as many of them as you can.
