DIY Blogger House Q&A
A lot of you have had additional questions about the DIY Blogger House, so I thought I would do my best to address them, and also share a few more photos, for those of you who don’t live locally and can’t stop by to see it.
Dining Room Light Fixture:
This light was designed by Bryan Bush. He’s a local artisan here in Utah and can be contacted through his website here at Politely Blunt Designs. While these custom lighting fixtures can be quite pricey, they sure do add a ton of personality to a space. To read about this space in more detail, head over to this post.
Homes Exterior Colors:
There was a lot of buzz about this fun yellow door during the parade, and I can’t tell you how happy I am we did it! Listed below is a color swatch and the colors for the homes exterior.
Door: Butterfield
Main: Riverway
Accent: Escape Gray
Trim: Snowbound
Pantry Jar Labels:
These are our newest labels, I’m so excited! When I was designing them I wanted a vintage-type feel, but still wanted to keep the writing in a very legible text. You can buy them in our House of Smiths Designs shop now!
FIY: They come in a set of 5. Flour, Sugar, Brown Sugar, Powdered Sugar and Salt.
The rest of these photos are from areas of the house that Brian Clark, the homes overall designer, decorated. Yup, he’s all sorts of amazing.

Like I mentioned before, you can check out the other bloggers, and what areas of the houses they played a part in, by visiting over the next few months, as they give updates and project tutorials.
Amy from The Idea Room – Mudroom and Laundry Room
Jen from Tatertots and Jello – Office
I also forgot to mention the oh-so-talented Miss Cynthia from the Jordan Valley Home and Garden Club. She was the mastermind behind all the amazing landscaping and outdoor decor!
You can also reference the attachments at the bottom of my last post here, with lots of information about each room.
I totally miss seeing these girls everyday, while scrambling around like crazy people, trying to put this house together. I guess you could say, we really became like a big ol’ family.
A little bit crazy… but a whole lotta’ love.

MmmmmK… Love love love the ENTIRE home. Sooo beautiful! I love that all of your styles blend so well together that the entire home just flows ๐ I was wondering if you knew where those pillows on the patio swing are from? I've seen fabric similar to that at JoAnn's… were these sewn or purchased? I think that I MUST have them ๐

Sorry to add to the questions, but where are the mirrors from in your dining room? I've searched the original post but I can't find anywhere where they are from. They are awesome and would be perfect for my family room. ๐

To everyone who was asking about the paint brand – I'm pretty sure it's Sherwin Williams – I googled the paint names and they popped up as Sherwin Williams colors and the colors looked exactly like these

I am trying to find out about the wall treatment in the master bedroom. I don't know whose link to follow to find out about it. It is amazing and I would love to know more about it.
Unknown says
Thank you so much for this inspiration! It has guided me in my new kitchen design! I wrote about it and linked one of the kitchen photos in this post. Your kitchen is gorgeous! I really played around with a white kitchen idea, and this made me realize I can incorporate gray AND white cabinets to make my look stand out!
