Home Spotlight: The Bird Family

The Bird family is known for having great style. Shannon and Dallin are parents to the best dressed little boy I have ever met, 19 month old Hudson. They are also expecting their first little girl this June, who will be named Holland. Of course, a family with such great style would have a beautifully decorated home as well. I had the chance to snap a few photos of Shannon's most recent projects around the house. She has updated the bedding in their master bedroom, converted Hudson's room from a nursery to a "big boy" room, and made a unisex bathroom for Hudson and baby Holland.

You can check out all of the activities of the Bird family on Shannon's blog Bird A la Mode. Bird A la Mode has all the latest tips and tricks for your modern day Mommy including fashion, travel, and family activities. Make sure to stop by and read her latest posts.

Gorgeous light installation in the entry.

The Living Room

The Kitchen

Wolf Appliances, swoon...

The dining area with breathtaking views.

I spotted a Sunburst mirror. My fave!

The Master Bedroom and Master Bath

The Girl's Room. How feminine and darling.

The Girl's Bath. Love all the vintage accents.

The Boy's Room. I found this super sophisticated for a young boy...kinda bachelor pad-like.

Bed in the guest room. Probably my least favorite piece of furniture in the house. The reclaimed barn wood headboard makes me feel like I am destined to get a splinter from that thing.

Family room in the basement. Very industrial inspired.

 

The lovely pool

This home won the People's Choice Award this year and it is clear to see why. This was my favorite home in the Parade by far. It felt modern yet elegant. This is a very unique home and I think there is something to be said about the innovative choices made by the design and architectural teams. Click here to see more of Matt McEwan's amazing work.

Here are my top 3 loves and loathes:
I loved:
1. The color scheme!
2. The incorporatyion of modern and vintage elements
3. The views!

I loathed:
1. The boy's room. It was much too metro for me (sorry :( )
2. The fact that it did not have a formal dining. It is a huge house so I think a dining room would be appropriate.
3. The guest room was a total fail in my opinion.

Overall I really loved this home. I can't wait to see what is in the Parade next year! Let me know what you think of this home. Leave a comment with your thoughts!
