This past weekend, I was invited to tour the HGTV® dream home in Gig Harbor, Washington overlooking the Puget Sound and it was breathtaking! The whole house is unreal–and someone is going to win it! (You can enter for your chance to win twice a day right here.)
The renovation (I loved seeing the before photos while I was there!) was designed by Brian Patrick Flynn and I got to pick his brain about some of the choices he made. Like the colors–he was actually contractually obligated to use a certain palette. Or the that cool fireplace in front of the windows–that used to be on a different wall but he thought the fireplace should be in the same direction as the focal point–that incredible view. I agree.
The floors are all this really pretty white-washed-looking wood (Lumber Liquidator’s Steel Creek Hickory) that make the whole place feel brighter and calming at the same time. I loved them and the way they contrast with the black walnut counters in the kitchen with lighter perimeter countertops and coordinating backsplash (Silestone’s Calacatta Gold) that go all the way up to the ceiling–like a dream!
Around every corner felt like a surprise. Whether it was the sweet whale hooks, the lavender grasscloth wallpaper…
…the warm pink on pink bedroom that felt super sophisticated in person or the striped powder grasscloth-esque tiled walls in the powder room.
The master bathroom was light and airy and full on sun (thanks, skylight) and cool fixtures.
Besides meeting a ton of fun HGTV people, including Bryan, I got to meet Kirsten from Simply Grove, who I have adored forever! She’s way better at posing and boomerangs and style in general so it was fun to absorb all I could from her for a few hours while we were there.
Everything felt luxe, but nothing beat the view from almost every room in the house.
And when you step out onto the sprawling back deck, it will take your breath away.
What’s your favorite part? While it’s definitely polarizing, that black exterior was probably mine. It’s just what I imagined a house on the water in Gig Harbor to look like. This is the 22nd year (!!) that HGTV has given one lucky winner a chance to win the HGTV Dream Home 2018. This year’s giveaway includes this fully-furnished home, a new Honda Accord and $250,000.

I’m dying to know the color of the master bathroom cabinets. I’m in love with them and did some research. I know that the cabinets are named Platinum Grey by Cabinets to Go and that it’s a Sherwin Williams color that they use to manufacture these cabinets overseas. I’ve checked and they can’t tell me a paint color. I’m wanting to paint my existing cabinets that color but I’ve run into a dead end. Do you happen to know what color paint they are?
I’m sorry! I wish I could help.
I am trying to track down exactly where the house is located on the bay. I have some familiarity with Gig Harbor….family used to live on the bay. Do you have the address on Henderson Bay that the house sits on? Thanks in advance…..Buddy
Searching the coast line….I found it. 11628 70th Ave. NW. And here’s the Realtor.com listing, before HGTV go a hold of it.

Sorry! I don’t!
Hmmmm….interesting. You were IN the house (INVITED to go there) and you don’t know the address? Methinks you might be LYING! Why do you feel the need to lie?
Why would I lie? They flew me to the seattle area. Boarded a bunch of us on a bus and drove us to the house.
Love the bar stools in the kitchen! Any idea where to find similar ones?
They are from Wayfair.
I’m living and breathing my new home, my amazing view, that has always been a part of me, I’m talking, DNA, part of me. I Thank you, HGTV for making my Dreams come true.
This has to be my FAVORITE of all the Dream Homes..! I am baffled over how perfect this house it for my family! (Color palette, room decor and situation of furnishings! My husband is an artist and there is even an Easel included! Its perfect! Thank you!!) Obsessed over the views and overall feeling I get when I tour the home! So looking forward to the winner selection and praying HARD!
