A Delightful Home Tour ~2022
Good Morning,
I had such a great time yesterday at the 2022 Indiana Decorator’s Showhouse & Garden tour! I got up early, did my normal routine, had some grapes, toast, and 2 cups of tea and I headed out! I had to park a block away from the home because it is on a busy street but the walk was wonderful. The weather was nice and I dressed my best for the occasion. I had my new MME.Mink tote, peacock pumps from Sarah Flint, and my lilac coat! Ready for spring indeed!

After checking in I approached this year’s home. This is the Rhodehamel house built in 1920. The home is 10,452 square feet and has 4 levels.

Walking in was this gorgeous antique chandelier.
My goodness! The wallpaper!

I loved this vintage table that I believed was purchased at an auction. The peacock lamps were a nice touch as well as the painting! Most of the art in the home were from local artists around the city.
This was the dining room. The deep dark paneled walls wrapped the room. The dark paint color was called Andiron 6174 by Sherwin Wiliams.

This was the kitchen. I actually love the contrast between the light cabinets and the dark cabinets. It actually looks good together and has given me inspiration for my kitchen. The colors are mindful gray 7016 and web gray 7075 by Sherwin Williams.

Loving the farm sink and faucet fixture. It pulls out like a hose which is my favorite part.
These floors look original right? They are not! They are actually laminate that were stained to match the original floor! There are those perfect cabinets again. I just love that color!

The tiles are handpainted! I was told by one of the hostesses that each tile was handpainted. Talk about a lot of work. I love those pot fillers. I think they are so convenient and posh. We will finish the rest of the home tour on Monday. It was a great day! I really enjoyed it.
I have a new dress arrival coming today. I hope that they are beautiful but we will see. Don’t forget about the 10% off code for the boutique. Just use code “housewife10” to get 10 % off!

I am loving this combo! I am wearing the Ballet Lace Cardigan with the Maxine Balloon Sleeve Midi and I think they look fabulous together! It looks great for weddings, church functions, Mother’s Day events, date nights, or just everyday wear. They are both plus-size as well. I hope you can order a set!
If you would like to see last year’s first tour you may view it here. Have a great weekend!
What a lovely home. It’s cozy in there and not museum like so many other grand homes are. The contrasting kitchen cabinet colors, loved them. I can’t over that wasn’t original hardwood on the floors. What a spectacular job they did on that. Oddly enough I must say I liked dark walls in the dining room. I would typically go for much lighter, airy feeling but that room was a whole mood. I was watching Ashley’s youtube channel Til Vaccuum Do Us Part and she did black accent walls in a few areas of her home and I liked that too. Never, ever would I have thought about that. I do like it. We are entitled to change our tastes sometimes. I’m really surprised that I liked that. Not sure I’d do that, I like it. I hope you took a picture if yourself in tour outfit, sounds beautiful. What a nice day. Excited for the rest of the tour. Have a lovely weekend and happy Friday💕🌸😊
They did an amazing job on the floors! I agree about the dark wall color. I would have never considered that but seeing how it was executed makes me think twice.
Oh I did not take a photo of myself. I will have to take one since I get a lot of compliments on my lilac coat!
