Park City Views and 2019 Trending Paint Colors
Hey everyone, I’m in Park City enjoying these views today! If you a take a look at the video, you’ll see how beautiful it is, and what a wonderful place Park City is to live!
I got to spend some time today in a home in the April Mountain subdivision in Park City. Just below this area is old town Park City. There are gorgeous views of the ski resort here, making this such a beautiful location.
I want to talk to you about home color trends for 2019.
Just a few months ago I met with a number of realtors and paint company representatives.
They talked about what home colors will be trending in 2019. It was interesting, because many of the colors they mentioned included the schematics of different gray shades.
In a recent article written by Decor Aid, two of their top ten 2019 paint colors were different tones of gray.
Lilac Gray: For those looking for a warm and minimalist feel in their home, they suggest using this color. I personally love the pairing of light blues and yellows along with this light gray tone as shown in the picture below.

Pewter: This paint shade is extremely versatile. Decor Aid suggests to “take pewter paint color ideas throughout your home rather than just one room as it’s one shade that works with everything, everywhere.” This dark shade gives great contrast in rooms and can be used on the walls along with furniture, throw pillows and art. Paired with white it adds dimension and warmth.

Black cabinets, black counter tops with a white backsplash and white walls are also predicted to be popular.
The home I saw in Park City today was gorgeous! There are many similar homes in the area that are currently listed if you’d like to walk through them with me.
Give me a call if you have any decor trend questions and I’ll get you in touch with the right people!
We can also check out the beautiful Park City area and some of the homes! Whether you want a second home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for family gatherings or if you’re looking for a primary residence this area is ideal.
Give me a call! I’d love to help you out in Park City, Wasatch Back or the Wasatch Front. Take care!

Lindon Pool Party
You may be too cold still to think about swimming outdoors here in Utah. However, August will be here before you know it and with that is our annual Coldwell Banker Client Appreciation Party at the Lindon Pool.
We have great food, great competitions, and more often than not great weather. One of the most fun things to participate in is the “Lily-Pad Race”.
I’m always so grateful for those I get to work within Real Estate and those that continue to refer their friends and family to me. Please plan on attending our Pool Party and we’ll see who wins the competition this year. Hope to see you there!

Bathroom Remodel Inspiration
A bathroom remodel can be a great investment if you’re looking to sell or simply improve the comfort of your own home.
I have 2 important tips to make sure you get the most out of your bathroom remodel.
And don’t miss my piece of inspiration, a unique remodeling hack, at the end!
1. What’s your vision?
Make sure you have a plan before you start, and you know the end goal. Often times we get in over our head with ideas off of Pinterest, and they may not work out as planned.
2. Professional is best.
Let me emphasize, if your remodel isn’t well done, it can really hurt your home value. You want to have a professionally done remodel. I suggest getting a professional contractor who will do a good job for you!
Make sure and take the opportunity to see some of their work before you hire them. I recommend you find someone local to support and then personally see what kind of work they do, what kind of colors they have, tile options, countertops, how the drawers glide…all of it.
It may be intriguing to buy something off the internet, but sometimes once it arrives it won’t quite be what you expected.
Need some inspiration?
THIS IS MY NOW MY FAVORITE BATHROOM FEATURE!
Check out this bathroom! It is quite small, but there was a new vanity, sink and drawers installed.
However, keep watching— the creativity is underneath all that.
I thought this was such a unique inspiration for your current bathroom remodel! Organization is a key component to helping you enjoy your bathroom space! I hope this idea brings a new perspective to your current remodel aspirations.
If you have any interest in selling your property or would like a home evaluation contact me today!
I’m happy to give you advice throughout the entirety of your home, together we can make it as attractive as possible to your future buyer!
If you’re looking to buy I can also help take care of you! I’m here to help.
Midway Dutch Canyon & Dutch Fields
Have you ever been to Midway, UT? I just want to share a little bit of information with you about an area of Midway well known as Dutch Fields.
Last fall they started building out at Dutch Canyons. (it’s just west of Dutch Fields) It’s a little bit higher elevation and is absolutely beautiful. There aren’t many parcels left in this area.
Dutch Canyon is an HOA, Dutch Fields is an HOA, and a lot of people tell me that they don’t want to be in an HOA. However, what are some benefits of it?
Some HOA fees are higher than others. However, sometimes the lower priced HOA fees don’t give you as many benefits like this one does. This HOA here in Dutch Canyon includes a pond and a swimming pool, etc.
HOAs often have conditions, covenants, and restrictions to keep the homes nice and that’s one of the biggest benefits of an HOA. People don’t want their home or their property to lose value due to someone not taking care of their yard.
So a couple of things: some HOAs have a higher fee, but they take care of everything. They take care of your front lawn, back lawn, the trees, the shrubs…everything. Others will charge a little bit less and allow you to take care of a portion of your yard or all of your yard. However, if you start letting your lawn get too dry or you have a car on cinder blocks on your front lawn it may not be tolerated; there are some certain restrictions to keep the community looking nice. So HOAs in that aspect are a benefit to maintaining the value of your property and the overall feel of the neighborhood.

Anyway, check it out! There are a variety of price ranges in this area. I have another client that’s looking at a property and it’s not on the higher end like the Dutch Fields and Dutch Canyon.
Keep in mind that HOAs do have an impact on your loan-to-value ratio. So depending on what you’re looking to do there, that’ll have an impact.
Check out this clip and take in this beautiful area, it’s just incredible. What a great view of Heber Valley, it’s a great location!
If you are interested in Dutch Canyon or Dutch Fields please get in contact with me and we can find you a wonderful place to live in Midway, UT.

Huntsman Cancer Golf
Last year I was able to participate in a golf fundraiser for Huntsman Cancer! This is a little clip from that event and some more information about the fundraisers I am privileged to be a part of. Let me know if you’d like to join us for this year’s fundraising golf tournament!
This specific fundraiser was held at the Dave Rose classic for Huntsman Cancer at the Alpine Country Club. If you ever want to support Huntsman Cancer this is the way to do it. What do they say? The worst day of golf is better than the best day at work!
I love this organization, Huntsman is just a classy place. My mom passed away about 26 years ago of cancer and I appreciate what research they do here. It’s amazing the stories that you hear about Huntsman Cancer. Dave and his wife Cheryl Rose have taken this project (I know I’ve talked about it before on my blog) and they raise money every year.
I also appreciate Coldwell Banker and what they do to support this program. I donate every time I have a settlement or a closing. I appreciate my clients and those that have worked with me over these years who make it possible for me to donate! If you have any inkling of buying or selling let me know, I’d love to work with you and make another donation to Huntsman Cancer.
It’s amazing what they do. There is a new joint venture with Primary Children’s and Huntsman Cancer. They have a PET scan where they can do these scans that enable them to know within a day, or even just a few hours, the impact of the treatments, how it’s working and what’s happening with the cancer. It used to take weeks to get information.
Have a great week! It was a beautiful day and I’m very blessed to be able to golf with Coldwell Banker at this Huntsman Classic every year. Get in touch with me if you’d like to come to golf at our fundraising event this year!
