While she used traditional whites and blues in some spaces, she also incorporated pops of green, orange and yellow in others, and wasn't afraid to hang bold art prints. "I really honed in on Naples's link to wildlife, and that underlined tone of sophisticated luxury. I was able to do that through the use of the color palettes, different motifs, and patterns and textures throughout the house," she says. "This year we added the clean living situation and the healthy living situation to that trifecta of green living, technology and functionality that is the Smart Home," Brooks says. "For example, we added a touchless sliding door, and we have a scanner for germs right there in the mudroom."
House Renovation Journey!
After a warning from city officials, the Evans' property was then only advertised in allowable 30-day stretches. That leaves a significant financial burden on the winner, who is usually an everyday joe or jane who doesn't happen to have a few hundred grand relaxing in the bank. Back upstairs and off the living room, the kitchen was painted in a beautiful shade of blue, Indigo Batik by Sherwin Williams. This HGTV Smart Home was a fun tour back in 2014 and still has gorgeous decor for today, hope you enjoy it all again! I’m sharing some of my fave Feature Friday from years’ past. As far as design goes, the primary bathroom has what designers are dubbing as a “wet room,” where the bathtub and shower are located within the same glass enclosure.
"I worked with artist Karen Musgraves, mother of country music star Kacey Musgraves, to take Kacey's three album covers and reinterpret them into a 1960s paint-by-numbers style," Flynn reveals. Karen also created a hot pink guitar with a white background by looming it just like a rug that looks incredible in the home." In a statement to USA Today, the network said, "Everybody at HGTV is greatly saddened by this distressing news, and all of our thoughts are with the bereaved family at this incredibly difficult time." After purchasing a bungalow that was renovated for HGTV's Urban Oasis — which is yet another offshoot of the Dream Home Giveaway — Asheville, N.C. Mortgage broker Tyler Evans and his wife ran into trouble trying to turn their prize into a rental property. According to the Citizen Times, the city had an ordinance against "renting for periods of less than 30 days," leaving the Evans' four-day Airbnb packages in direct violation.
HGTV doesn't even expect people to keep the house
Alas, the Cruz family only lasted three years on the lake after relocating from the Chicago suburbs. In this case, it wasn't just taxes that turned the dream into a nightmare. But it was 2005 winner Don Cruz who really championed the "Winner's Weekend" when he toldThe Balance Everyday what an "amazing experience" it was. Cruz said he ended up meeting singer and actor Dwight Yoakam during his visit to Dallas, near the Tyler, Texas lake house he won.
Love those bathrooms with simple style and a clean elegance that is not over done. It’s a great way to plank a bathroom and not have to worry about wood warping from the bathroom humidity. I also loved the way that the designer used a mix of carpet and hardwoods. As I mentioned, there is the same hardwood throughout the home, but each room has a bound rug instead of a traditional area rug.
Lower Level Entertaining Spaces
It’s a cook’s dream, with lots of cabinet space, a big island, and tons of natural light. Have you ever started drooling while you are watching HGTV when they show off their Smart Home of the year? Imagined yourself living in it and enjoying all of the beautiful furnishings and crazy technology that it holds? Entered the sweepstakes every day in hopes that it would one day be yours?
We still have 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a family area to cover! I think I will break that out into another post next week so as not to overhelm you or your internet service. But, my favorite part is the stainless subway tile backsplash. I’m pretty sure I have an entire board on Pinterest dedicated to stainless subway tile. The cool thing about this tile is that it’s actually porcelain capped with copper and steel instead of a “press on” metal tile that I’ve seen in home improvement stores.
The Truth About The HGTV Dream Home Giveaways
So imagine my delight when I actually got to take a tour of the 2015 HGTV Smart Home. Y’all, I tried to hide in a closet so that I could just stay forever, but they found me. You could win this luxurious coastal retreat in Wilmington, North Carolina + a Mercedes-Benz SUV + $100,0000 from Lending Tree. HGTV will also air the HGTV Urban Oasis 2022 one-hour special showcasing the home and contest on Thursday, Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. The brightly-decorated "podcast studio" on the second story features portraits of music legends like Bob Marley, Elvis Presley and The Beatles. "I included gorgeous felt art by Sam Sidney that showcases musical icons," says Flynn.
The primary suite is equipped with quite a few innovations. In the bathroom, smart mirrors provide homeowners with time, temperature and road delays. Strictly Necessary Cookie should be enabled at all times so that we can save your preferences for cookie settings.
Eligible fans can enter twice each day during that time period on HGTV's website and the Food Network website, where full details on the sweepstakes, official rules and additional home features will be made available. If you’re not able to make it to the public open house dates, don’t worry – there are plenty of other ways to see the HGTV Smart Home 2021. Local tour companies are offering a variety of tours that will allow you to see the home in person. "From the local artistry to the instruments seen throughout the design,this home is filled with the spirit of Nashville, offering a beautiful, livable space inside a bustling city." Kathy O'Dell, the 2015 winner, did exactly that when she won a sprawling Martha's Vineyard charmer .
Inside, white walls can be seen throughout the first floor, allowing the green kitchen cabinets, unique artwork and funky furnishings to take center stage. If you’re interested in touring the home during the public open house dates, you’ll need to register in advance. The HGTV Smart Home 2021 is the latest iteration of the home makeover reality show franchise’s annual smart home giveaway. The highly anticipated event offers viewers a chance to see the latest in home technology and design, as well as get a behind-the-scenes look at how the home was built. HGTV Smart Home 2021 is located in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee.
Thanks for the tip on the source lists – paint colors, tile and flooring are wonderful. I hope you’ll go over to HGTV and sign up to win, some lucky person will win this beauty! For more details and lots more pics of each room, go to HGTV and click on each individual room. It opens up with Product information for each room, including paint colors. On the second floor, a flex space has a formal, library or office feel. The walls are deep gray and the furniture has splashes of salmon, orange, pink and navy.
My favorite parts of the exterior are the neon house numbers and the walls of glass by the front door. I love the feel of floor to ceiling windows that meet in a corner like that. He adds, "In terms of color, I leaned into neutral and classic colors in the interior of the home, as are traditionally found throughout designer homes in Nashville, but chose a standout dramatic dark blue exterior." As for what really caused Dee's curiously cagey behavior the night of her win, the simplest explanation is shock. In fact, she told theMiami Herald as much when the paper accompanied her during her first visit to the bay front home. "Shock, I'm still shocked," Dee said, later adding, "I had no expectations of winning. You dream, but you never think you will be the person who wins it."
Second Floor Living
Though charitable contributions are a nice offset to the huge tax liability of winning an HGTV Dream Home, it's still wonderful that some of these fortunate folks found it in their hearts to give back large portions of their prizes. Yep, the guy who lost his dream home to foreclosure after some unfortunate financial circumstances. That wasn't before he "donated $40,000 to charity," according to CNN Money. "I've fantasized most of my life about living in a big house, but my dreams never came close to this," Cruz told CNN Money of the life-changing abode.
Amazingly, he also said, "But no regrets, whatsoever. I'd do it all over again." It's actually remarkable to think Cruz could have walked away from his HGTV Home Giveaway experience with any kind of positive feelings, because out of all 21 winners, he had the roughest run of them all by far... Does anyone know if there is a source list available on the home? I’d love to know some of the paint colors and where some of the furnishings were purchased.
