Dream Home: The Chenault Life

I am very excited to share today’s “Dream Home” with you. Not only because it comes from the imagination of my blog friend, Sarah of The Chenault Life, but because she is a fellow Houstonian and the home she’s put together really embodies modern Houston style. There’s a touch of the French look Houstonians love, but it’s paired with inspired, modern touches. Enjoy!

Hi there, it’s Sarah from The Chenault Life, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to participate in Paloma’s Dream Home feature. This experience has been so much fun, and I’ve taken it way too seriously, but I hope you enjoy my picks for a dream home…

Welcome to my Dream Home… Please come in!

This home is actually for sale (for a nice, $2MM) in a lovely Houston neighborhood. I love the French style and it’s welcoming exterior.

Kitchen

This is where I imagine we’d spend a good chunk of time. I love the light, bright airiness of the kitchen, and I’d add a black sink and breakfast nook to give it more contrast.

Black Sink = Love (hides the mess!)

Breakfast Nook

Dining Room

Here’s where we’ll spend special occasion dinners. I love that it’s kind of whimsical and the pops of color - especially the coral, are a nice touch.

Family Room

Now, please join me in the family room. I don’t think a room is complete without a burnt orange chaise, so this is definitely necessary.

Living Room

In reality, I don’t think I could get away with decorating a formal living room in such a feminine way, but for this post’s sake, let’s go there.

Office

To stay awake be productive, my office will require lots of natural light and fresh flowers like shown below. Oh, and pets welcome.

Nursery

This is my all time favorite nursery, though it doesn’t really go with the rest of the house. I’m not sure what that carpet is made of, but in my dream home no animals would be hurt in the making of this room.

Childrens’ and Guest Rooms

When older, the children will sleep in rooms with burnt orange headboards so they subconsciously fall in love with UT at an early age…

Guest bath

Clean and simple. Another black sink!

Master Bed and Bath

As much as I love color and decorating with bold patterns, I like a serene, peaceful Master Bedroom and Bath… with lots of white and natural light.

My dream Master Bath

My dream bath would have a spa-like quality.

Courtyard and Patio

Of course this home needs a fabulous patio and pool for entertaining and swimming.
