A million thank you's to Cristi and Jeff for welcoming us all into their amazing home! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it as much as I did, and that our final day today left you with a ton of inspiration. I'm totally smitten with the master bedroom in their home. Doesn't it exude such a calming retreat-like vibe?? I love that they went with the grasscloth wallcovering from <a href="http://www.thibautdesign.com/collection/old_collection.php?patternID=1003&productID=5775&material=Wallpaper&colorID=9" target="_blank">Thibaut</a>...the texture and color is perfection. The sliding barn door is <span style="font-style: italic;">super</span> cute too! And HELLO, dream bath alert! Did you see all that glorious tile?! We can thank the talented guys over at <a href="http://abunchofsquares.com/" target="_blank">Greg's Tile Creations</a> for that eye candy. It looks fantastic with the wallpaper (<a href="http://www.thibautdesign.com/collection/old_collection.php?patternID=1063&productID=6221" target="_blank">Coral Gables from Thibaut</a>). I really love the layout of this space, the corner vanity is so cool, and the open shower like that. I'd never manage to get ready in the mornings with all this beauty to stare off at!<br /><br />Next we have their upstairs hallway. I've never seen a more lovelier window seat! I love Cristi's display cabinet here...almost everything you see was passed down from her mom. Love the wallpaper in this area too...Thibaut of course (<a href="http://www.thibautdesign.com/collection/high_res.php?patternID=1101&productID=6476" target="_blank">Roma in White on Pearl</a>). She has even more sentimental stuff displayed in that gorgeous laundry room, in addition to more beautiful cabinetry work done by <a href="http://www.benjaminblackweldercabinetry.com/" target="_blank">Benjamin Blackwelder</a> (painted BM Palladian Blue...so pretty). I love that the flower panels are doors that are covering the circuit switches. Cute touch!<br /><br />Lastly in this week-long tour is the breezy family room. This looks like the place the family kicks back and relaxes. Did you see that fan?! Coolest thing ever! I've been crazy about that <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=359689&b=211148&m=25626&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Elaylagrayce%2Ecom%2FProducts%2FCompany%2DC%2DWool%2DRug%2DTiffany%2DPeacock%5F%5FCC18693PEAC%2Easpx" target="_blank">Tiffany Peacock rug</a> forever! Seriously this home has some brilliant, colorful rugs, doesn't it?! (Walls are painted Restoration Hardware's Silver Sage.)<br /><br />So that's it you guys! For more info on Morgan Hatfield, the outstanding builder of this dream home, visit <a href="http://www.hatfieldhomes.net/" target="_blank">Hatfield Homes</a>. The uber-talented interior designer Lindy Allen did an amazing job in every single room here, so be sure to visit her store <a href="http://www.4-chairs.com/" target="_blank">Four Chairs Furniture</a>. Lastly, we wouldn't have enjoyed this tour nearly as much if the photography wasn't so stunning. Cristi and Jessi Safsten did one heck of a job with the photos! Check out their blog at <a href="http://hiyapapaya.com/blog/" target="_blank">hiya papaya</a> for never-ending gems, and if you're in Utah, look them up because they do amazing wedding photography and portraits too! And with that, I hope you all have a fantastic weekend...enjoy every minute!! :)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Check out </span><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/06/day-one-dream-home-tour.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Day One</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/06/day-two-dream-home-tour.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Day Two</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/06/day-three-dream-home-tour.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Day Three</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> and </span><a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2011/06/day-four-dream-home-tour.html" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Day Four</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> of this home tour!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

You can tell Cristi and her designer Lindy Allen of <a href="http://www.4-chairs.com/" target="_blank">Four Chairs Furniture</a> had a blast decorating the adorable playroom upstairs. Cristi refers to it as the "keiki" room (keiki is how you say kids in Hawaiian) because it has a Hawaii feel to it (surf board shelves, sea turtles, surf pillows, etc). Some of you eagle-eye readers might even recognize the nursery. I actually featured the little guy's room from their old house last year <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/2010/05/fun-and-cheerful-readers-rooms.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Glad to see the gorgeous <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/to114js0ys-FIOHHNGIFHGNIGKKI?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.poshtots.com%2Fyoung-america%2Ffurniture-by-item%2Fcribs%2Fmix-match-built-to-grow-convertible-panel-spindle-crib%2F3445%2F3464%2F3375%2F23996%2Fposhproductdetail.aspx%3Futm_source%3Dcj%26utm_medium%3Dprod_feed%26utm_content%3D23996%26utm_campaign%3Daffiliate&cjsku=23996" target="_blank">turquoise crib</a> is still taking center stage!<br /></div></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">And the nursery bathroom! Get this...the claw foot tub actually came from the farm Cristi grew up on. Her parents used it out in the pasture to put the salt licks for the cows in. Seriously! Now it's refinished, looks gorgeous, and she will be bathing her children in it! LOVE. IT. The beautiful tile here was all done by <a href="http://abunchofsquares.com/" target="_blank">Greg's Tile Creations</a>...the touch of yellow is so fun!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">There's not a ton of turquoise floating around in it, but I just had to include Cristi's oasis: her office/craft room. The builder <a href="http://www.hatfieldhomes.net/" target="_blank">Hatfield Homes</a> outdid themselves here! I can't even imagine what a treat it would work from this room, high above the trees with all that light flowing in and the soaring ceiling! Love that black and white wallpaper (<a href="http://www.thibautdesign.com/collection/old_collection.php?patternID=1007&productID=5841&material=Wallpaper&colorID=5" target="_blank">Thibaut's <span style="font-style: italic;">Blossom</span></a> from Natural Resource) mixed with all the fresh greens. The colorful curtain fabric and basket liners are all way too cute!!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">But wait...there's <span style="font-style: italic;">more</span>!!! We're moving on downstairs now...you guys have to see this basement. It's a lot different than the main floor, but <span style="font-style: italic;">oh-so-fun</span>!<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-R2GFnQ3/0/O/i-R2GFnQ3.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-qwJ6Qfj/0/O/i-qwJ6Qfj.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-8z9rdqc/0/O/i-8z9rdqc.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-tvg4Cpb/0/O/i-tvg4Cpb.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-htMtFXM/0/O/i-htMtFXM.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-d9h7r2z/0/O/i-d9h7r2z.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-bTSg9NM/0/O/i-bTSg9NM.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Cristi and Jeff's basement is ready for a par-tay! I swear I'd give up Diet Coke for that theater room! Jeff wanted the second row of seats to be higher than the first - so you can see the screen if you're sitting in the back. But he also wanted a "stage" that was moveable so if they're having a party down there, they can just move it out of the way. Brilliant! That turquoise pool table is pretty darn brilliant too. As is the retro kitchenette! Seriously, Cristi, do you want me to move in?! I'm such a die-hard fan of <a href="http://www.elmirastoveworks.com/northstar.aspx" target="_blank">Elmira Stove Works</a>...I don't get to see their turquoise appliances nearly enough! Sooo perfect here. They are an excellent fit with the cabinets done by <a href="http://www.benjaminblackweldercabinetry.com/" target="_blank">Benjamin Blackwelder</a>. So fun!!!<br /></div></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Phew</span>, that was a lot of photos! Believe it or not, I still have a slew left for tomorrow. The master bedroom and bathroom are straight out of magazine, so be prepared for some major drool! Once again, a HUGE thank you to homeowner Cristi and Jessi Safsten of <a href="http://hiyapapaya.com/blog/" target="_blank">Hiya Papaya</a> for all these amazing images!
