my sneak peek of the HGTV dream home 2018

2018 is off to a crazy-awesome start for me you guys. Here’s some proof: yesterday I was lucky enough to be invited to tour the 2018 HGTV Dream Home and, lemme tell ya, it’s daaamn good. Designer Brian Patrick Flynn has really outdone himself! While nothing can really replace the magic of seeing it in person (sorryyyy), I hope these photos help you get a sense of the space and encourage you to enter to win the ENTIRE house!

For even more of a peek, head over to my Instagram to watch my highlighted stories about the space, too!

While touring the home, we learned all about Brian Patrick Flynn’s inspiration. The vibe was definitely inspired by the Pacific Northwest, but with an eclectic, coastal feel. The entire space is light and airy… and surrounded by some truly epic views of Puget Sound. Because the HGTV audience is so diverse in tastes, the challenge Brian faced was to appeal to many different aesthetics and I really think he did a great job of that. No matter which way your style leans, there’s something in this house for everyone!

Personally, I had a minor love affair with the great room, the kitchen, and the master bath. Each space has a certain tranquility to it that feels so appealing to me these days (more on that coming soon). I can’t help but pull inspiration from each space as I look toward the tiny bungalow. All of that open, white spaces felt like a breath of fresh air.

I mean… how gorgeous is this bathroom? It was probably the size of my living room, but whatever. You can pull inspiration from anything and you’d better believe I’ll be keeping this space in mind as we tackle the bath renovation in my own home!

And, because this is a renovation, you can catch the before photos here! I have a full source list, so if there are any products you’d like a link to, let me know down in the comments. And be sure to enter to win!
