Home Tour

It’s been a long time coming with this Home Tour! Over a year ago all the decorating, styling, photo taking took place! Now that these stunning photos have been taken by Tracey Ayton and published numerous times in Style at Home and other online publications I’m excited to now share them on the blog! (Hopefully you’re not sick of them yet!) Thank you for all your kind comments throughout this process, hope you can find some inspiration for your own home!

You can read the full interview and feature over at Style me Pretty Living or brows through the April issue of Style at Home magazine!

I won’t chat to much about what we did here, since the photos speak volumes! You’ll notice lots of whites, neutral tones, comfort and really easy living. Yes, we have a fourteen month old little guy- and everything is still clean and just the way we like it. Thanks to Stephanie of Stephanie Jean Design she helped us create a space where we can call home and love the calmness of each and every room. Working with Stephanie made designing this house a dream, creating just what we envisioned and of course pinned on Pinterest!

Number one question asked: Paint colours!! We used White Dove throughout the House with Simply White for the finishings.

  • You have such a beautiful home! love the all white! I’m in the process of renovating right now and I fell in LOVE with your light fixtures in your kitchen above your table.

    thanks!

    • Hi Footnotesandfinds.

      The lights are from Restoration Hardware. Check all sources at the end of the post too! 🙂

  • Jen

    Beautiful home! I noticed White Dove and Simply White were listed above, and I also saw Cloud White listed in another post… Which color is your kitchen and bathroom cabinets?

  • Stunning home! Can’t wait to see what you do next…

  • Where can I find your kitchen bar stools?

    • Hi Judy, we got the bar stools quite a while ago. But if you search, acrylic bar stool the option should come up! 🙂

      Monika

  • marci

    Love!!! Would it be possible to find the source of the kitchen garbage can? It’s just what I’m looking for. Your home is amazing!

  • Where are the metal lidded canisters on your mater bathroom counters from? Thanks!

  • Sarah

    Your home is gorgous! Cannot wait to see the next one. I’m in the process of redecorating my apartment taking inspiration from your home and the #idreamofyork event home. Can you tell me where did you purchase the “Say Grace” print in your kitchen. I have been scouring the internet and cant find it. Thanks!

  • Hi Monika – your home is so beautiful, I love all the design choices you’ve made. Would you be able to tell me where your hardwood is from? Also, where the carpet is from in the nursery? (not the rug) Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Warmest,
    Hannah

    • Hi Hannah,

      I’m actually not sure! Those were two trades from my builder. I’m sorry! I’ll be more help with the new home!! 🙂

  • Debbie Lewis

    Which sofa from restoration hardware is yours? Their site is overwhelming to me. Thanks

  • Ewa

    Hi Monika- Beautiful home!!I love the baskets in your bathrum- gold/white- I just wonder where you bought them?

    • Hi Ewa,

      I’m so glad you love it! I picked up the baskets at Home Sense! 🙂

  • Mars

    Hi Monika, beautiful home! I was wondering if you guys painted the ceiling white dove just like your walls or you painted the simply white like the trim work? Thank you!!

  • Jessica

    Hi Monika, such a beautiful home!! Cant wait to see your next. Just wondering if you could share the source for your dining room rug? Thanks!

    • Hi Jessica,

      I found the rug on Joss & Main. 🙂

  • Tara Thomas

    Hi-
    I have been looking everywhere for the lamps you have in your bedroom I believe I saw somewhere you got them at homesense? I live in the US and don’t know what home sense is (is it like a homegoods, marshalls, tjmaxx- that sells designers goods for less) if so is there a brand name on the lamp anywhere? or do you have suggestions of any similar lamps!

    • Hi Tara,

      The Lamps are from Home Sense which is like a home goods in the States. Maybe try Restoration Hardware, they might have something similar 🙂 Good luck finding them!

      Monika

  • I am shocked and awed by your home. I can’t believe that it’s real. If I was single and not a mother, I would copy it to my best ability. When my kid is in college in a few years, I am going all white and gold! You have a real gift in design – a blessing.

  • Missy Vallino

    Hi. Your home is lovely. Do you know what brand and color were used for your hardwood floors? They are beautiful. Thanks!

  • The decor in your home is just lovely. We recently moved and am in the process or redecorating. Thanks for all the inspiration!

    Julia Kristina

  • Elizabeth

    I just love your living room! I was wondering where the ivory pillows with the fringe are from? Thank you!

    • Hi Elizabeth,

      The pillows are from Pottery Barn! 🙂

      • Elizabeth

        Do you have a tutorial or source for the DIY chalkboard in your kitchen?

  • Hi Monika – Absolutely love your home. Can’t wait to see how you design your new one. I was wondering where you purchased the grey/white rug in your kitchen in from on your sink? Best, Nicole

    • Hi Nicole,

      I found it on Joss & Main! 🙂

      • Brianna

        Hey Monika,
        Is this rug the purple/ivory rug or the grey/ ivory rug?

  • Kat

    This is still my favorite home tour. So calm and inviting. White done right!

  • Allison

    Hi Monica. I love your home! Can you please tell me where you found our dining chairs? Are the seats vinyl? Thanks and good luck with the new home!

  • Anne

    Hello- What a lovely house! Wondering where you sourced you master bathroom flooring? Looks like slate- or is it porcelain? Sooo pretty!! Thank you- Anne

  • Jennifer

    Hi Monica! Your home is just beautiful – I can’t wait to see your new build!

      The pillow case is from The Cross Design! 🙂

  • Elizabeth

    Hi Monika!

    I was curious if your bed was a King or California King? Thanks so much!

    Also – Did you use White Dove on the ceilings or Simply white?

    Thank you very much!

  • Hi love!

    I didn’t see a source listed so if it is, I’m sorry to be asking… where did you purchase the wallpaper for the powder room? It’s lovely!

    xo

    • Hi Aubrey,

  • Connie

    Can you tell me where the hardware (knobs + bars) used in your kitchen is from?

    Thanks!

    • Hi Connie,

      Yes of course! They are from Lowes and the long pulls are from Restoration Hardware.
      Mon

      • Connie

        Thanks Monica! What size pulls did you use? RH no longer carries them = (

  • Rose

    Hi,

    I love everything you do! I
    Your style is so classic! Everything is so beautiful and breath taking!! Makes you wanna move right in! Lol I was wondering, what is the color of your curtains in your living room? They are so gorge!! Tx so much!

  • Stefanie Rush

    Your home is SO beautiful! You have remarkable taste.

    I am in the midst of remodeling my bathroom and I’m wondering where you purchased the sconces above your vanity and also your chandelier? They are lovely. Any help is much appreciated!

    • Hi Stefanie,

      Thank you for your comment, you’re very sweet!
      The sconces are from Restoration Hardware & the chandelier we found on Jose and Main! 🙂 Hope that helps!

  • Amy

    Monika,

    Your (old) home is gorgeous! Do you happen to know the width of your drapes in the living room? Or approximately, if they’re more of a standard 46″ width or a double width? Can’t wait to see what you do with your new house!

    Thank you,
    Amy

  • Julie

    Where did you get the “things” “stuff” jars and the apothecary jars on the counter and stand?

  • Jennifer

    Hi!

    What a beautiful home. I come back to this post so often, especially as we are renovating our own home right now.

    Regarding the BM White Dove paint – did you do your ceilings, walls, and trim all in that same colour? What you did looks beautiful and I am struggling with choosing a white for the ceiling and trim! We have the White Dove for the walls…

    Would love to hear back 🙂 Thanks!

    • Hi Jennifer,

      Thank you for your comment, I’m so glad you can find inspiration from our home tour! I can’t wait to share the new house… soon, very soon!

      In terms of the paint colors: White Dove was used on the walls throughout. The trim and all the finishings are Simply white by BM. And the ceiling is half shade of White dove, which is standard in terms of choosing ceiling color.

      Hope that helps!

  • Kadi

    Hi Monika! I just love your beautiful home. I know a few people have asked, so I apologize if you’ve already answered, but do you mind telling me where I can find a kitchen trash can like that? It’s perfection!

  • Nancy nguyen

    LOVE everything! Do you know where I can find that cute pink cake stand? Hudson Bay didn’t have it 🙁

    • If you call the store they might still carry it! Otherwise try The Cross Design or simply search online! 🙂

      Hope that helps. Mon xo

  • Jen

    Hi! Love your design style! Can you please let me know what paint color your cabinetry was? Thank you in advance for your help!

  • Nichole

    Hi Monika! I have been a long time fan of your previous home and love all the sneak peeks you are giving us on snapchat and your blog of the new home! We are getting ready to meet with an architect and I was just wondering how tall your ceilings were in your previous home. It looks like the dining area was at least 12 or 13 feet? Many thanks!

    xo, Nichole

    • Hi Nichole,

      The ceiling in our last house were 10 ft tall on the main floor. That being said- the dining room had a dropped coffered ceiling This house we are building now are 10 ft. With a vaulted ceiling in the family room. Hope that helps!
      All the best!

  • Alaina

    I still look back on this home tour a year later and love it! Just wondering if your couches from restoration hardware are the 37″ depth or the luxe 43″ depth?

  • Ocelia

    Hi! Are your kitchen counters real marble? If so, how have you found the experience? If not what are they?
    Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us! It’s such an inspiration!

    • Hi Ocelia,

      Yes! Our counters are marble! We just love the look of the marble. It is a bit more high maintenance, however if you properly seal it and take care of your counters it will hold of very nicely. We are putting marble in our new house again.

      Thank you for your sweet comment!

      Mon

  • Lauren

    monika~
    House is beautiful! Looking forward to the finish product of your new home and of your new baby 🙂

    Is the rug in living room a wool or synthetic rug and how has it held up with having a child??
    Thanks!

    • Hi Lauren,

      It’s wool, it does shed a lot for the first couple of months. But we’ve loved it!! I totally recommend it!

      Mon

  • Katie Antunez

    Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful home!! I am absolutely in LOVE with it all!! My husband and I just purchased our first home and we have zero design sense…these pictures have been so inspirational!! Thank you SO much!! 🙂

    I’ve read through most of the comments to get an idea of the specifics, but wasn’t able to find an answer to my question. If you have time, would you mind telling me where you purchased the tile in your master bathroom? Who was the manufacturer and what is the color? THANK YOU!!

    Sincerely,
    Clueless in California 🙂

    • Hi Katie,

      Thank you for your comment, that’s so sweet of you. Sadly I am not sure where those tiles are from as they were supplied from my builder. He just had a sample that I chose. They are slate, perhaps if you search slate tiles something similar will come up.

      Good luck! Monika

      • Katie

        Thank you so much for your response, Monika!! You are like a celebrity to me!! 😉 We found a tile that is similar… Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

  • Jessica

    Hi Monika,

    Your home is beautiful! I was wondering of the dining table is the Isabella table currently on Joss and Main? It’s lovely and different from the typical farmhouse/rustic pedestal table. Thank you again for sharing your photos.

    Jessica

  • Jackie Davis

    I just love your flooring throughout your home, what is the color/manufacturer? Thanks!

  • Tyler

    Your home looks beautiful! Can you tell me where you got the brass lights in the hallway above your gallery wall? They are stunning!

    • Hi Tyler,

      They are from Restoration Hardware 🙂

      • Tyler

        Thanks Monica! What finish are they? They look Brass in the photos, butt are they actually polished or satin nickel? Thanks for the help!

  • Regan Gilster

    Hi! Okay so I just discovered your blog today and am OBSESSED! I am currently building a home (not custom, with a building company), and am picking all of our interior options with my husband! Right now I’m debating between a stainless steel and farmhouse sink – I’m going with the all white look as well (heart eyes!). On a DIFFERENT note, I noticed in some of these photos you have a TV above your fireplace in your living room, and in some you don’t! Do you hide your TV in the photos where it’s gone, or remove it completely? Any tips would be appreciated! I really don’t want to put a TV over our fireplace, but there is really nowhere else to put it :-/

    • Hi Regan,

      Thank you for your sweet comment! Yes to the farmhouse sink!! My fave!!
      In terms of the t.v., because these photos were shot for a magazine they wanted photos with and without a t.v.
      Normally we had the t.v. hung over the fireplace. Though with this new house we decided we wanted to hide it, so we cut a space for it, and created custom doors in front. Will hide it a bit 🙂

  • Kelly Comtois

    Your home is stunning ! I love everything – where did you get the kitchen faucet from? I am trying to find that one and cannot anywhere 🙁 They are all just a little different or not the “bridge” option. Would be so appreciative if you could let me know ! Thank you !!!

    • Hi Kelly,

      The faucet we had in our last house was from Home Depot. I know that Delta and Kohler have similar styles 😉 Thank you for your sweet comment. Mon

  • Madeline

    Beautiful home!! Absolutely stunning! Where is your artwork from in the family/living room above the fireplace?

  • Barbara

    Hello Monika!
    Your home is absolutely beautiful! 🙂 Do you mind sharing where did you get all the pillows from your living area as well as the white table lamps behind the couch?? I couldn’t find them in the link you provided :(. I hope you don’t mind.
    Thank you! 🙂
    Barbara

  • Leigh Flashnick

    I love your house and would love to know the paint color you used for the walls and trim…it is perfect!

  • Roberta

    and if it is just the couch you said linen sand , but would you be able to tell me what specific couch it Is?
