Yes I did make the title singular on purpose...
I have been going to the Parade of Homes with Helen for years. We make an entire day out of it...
Brunch - this is when we map out our route.
Gas Station - Load up on water, and fuel and with added technology,get the addresses into the GARMIN (GPS)
In the past we have been astounded with the homes, gardens, decor (and my favorite) the fantastic kitchens. But the last few years we have noticed a steady decline in the WoW factors. I know, what can I expect with the economical pit falls we've been experiencing?
However, this year was a little ridiculous. Either the same interior designer was commissioned to decorate every parade home, or the general style for 2011 is that light teal-ish, blue-ish, green-ish color - Gold and or brown - and white. IN EVERY HOUSE WE WENT INTO!!! with the exception of one that had incredibly BOLD floral wall paper in every room, GAG! We went to 16 homes and they were all decorated the same. However there was one home that stole my heart away.... The "UP" House. Not just for the Disney origin, but for the loveliness of vintage nostalgia within the walls of that quaint little pastel home....
Mr. Fredrickson and Russel
The toy Story "Make a Wish" Room
Ladies and gentleman.... Introducing my favorite part of the home.... I DIE!
I'm so in love with the Kitchen... from the Robins Egg Blue vintage appliances, to the RED rotary phone.... I LOVE THIS KITCHEN!!!
and I had to snap a picture of the vintage patio furniture. My parents and Grandparents had this exact same set.... memories ;)
defiantly the best home in the Parade
