Two weeks ago I had the exciting opportunity to tour the HGTV Dream Home 2016.
All the paint in this year’s dream house is from Glidden! I am super excited about this since I know first hand that the High Endurance line of paint offers great results at a reasonable price.
Even though it was a rainy day when I toured the house, I especially was intrigued to see it in person since I just moved into a new house and am looking for decorating ideas. I found many.
This year’s Dream Home will mark the event’s 20th anniversary. The waterfront property is located on Merritt Island, Florida which is right near Cape Canaveral. It is also a first for HGTV since it is not a newly built house, but an existing house that was redesigned and updated. The house sits along the banks of the Indian River Lagoon with Intercoastal Waterway access.
The light and bright three bedroom, 3 1/2 bath house is decorated by designer Brian Patrick Flynn who went with a casual Floridian coastal style. When you walk in the front door you step into a open concept space with a soaring ceiling.
Wall and ceiling paint color: Quiet Rain
The designer told us that he used Glidden High Endurance paint bought at Walmart in every room. Notice throughout the tour that the color on the walls is also on the ceiling in each room. All the white paint used in the home is Swan White.
The furnishings and lighting throughout the house are from Ethan Allen.
The kitchen color scheme is a mix of white and black from the tile on the wall to the white wall cabinets and then grounded with black base cabinets. The faucet is from Delta. The color is Champagne Bronze.
Wall and ceiling paint color: Kentucky Blue
The media room was decorated with a delightful infusion of color and textures. All the art in the house was custom made specifically for the house.
Wall and ceiling paint color: Opal Silk Green
The mudroom goes out to the 3-car garage. The lamps are made of stacked shells.
Wall and ceiling paint color: Terra Cotta
Bedroom Suite #2 can be seen from the main living area.
Even the walk-in closet is painted using the same color. The trim painted in Swan White is what makes the wall color pop.
Multi-toned turquoise blue penny tile was used in the bath.
Wall and ceiling paint color: Bastille Blue
Bedroom suite #3 has a door that overlooks the water and backyard pool.
It was my favorite bedroom.
I like the casual mix of the furnishings.
Every bedroom had its own full bathroom.
The string art of the marlin was custom made just for this bathroom. Perfect for a waterfront home.
Laundry Room wall and ceiling paint color: Island Shores
Pool Bathroom wall and ceiling paint color: Island Shores
Wall and ceiling paint color: Thai Teal
The second floor of the home is where the master suite is. It has a bedroom…
…a seating area…
…bathroom and…
…large glass enclosed shower.
When you step onto the porch off the room…
…you are greeted with this view.
The exterior is white with an accent of light blue. It is very subtle, can you see it? The walls are White, the trim and railings are painted using the color, Blue Light.
Even the winner of this home’s dog will have a dream house of his own.
The subtle use of the color blue to accent the exterior brings out the architectural details in the exterior.
The backyard and pool area of the home are perfect for entertaining or just relaxing and enjoying the water view.
One of my favorite aspects of the exterior is this outdoor shower. Something about taking a shower under the sun, moon, and open sky is so appealing to me. I am using this as my inspiration to build a similar one at my new home.

Hi Judy – All the wood flooring in the house is from Lumber Liquidators. Here are the links that I have: https://bit.ly/35B2koC and https://bit.ly/35xlZpu
Megan says
Where did you get the darker blue penny tile in the bathroom? What is the color and brand? I’m redoing my bathroom and love that tile! Thank you.
Diane Henkler says
Hi Megan – That photo is from the HGTV Dream House 2016. I did not design it, I just got to tour and write about it. I am not sure where the tile came from. You may be able to find out on HGTV.com. Search for HGTV Dream house 2016 and I am sure there will be resources listed with each photo.
Nigam says
What stone is used for the pool deck? Looks lovely changing color when wet.
Diane Henkler says
Hi Nigam – I am not sure what company the stone pavers around the pool are from. If you go to the HGTV website and look up HGTV Dream Home 2016 you may be able to find out.
Sherry says

Jo anne says
1. What is the paint finish…eggshell, satin, glossy.
2. The kitchen ceiling is white living room ceiling is blue?
3. Cute white fluffy shades..curtain in bathroom and other. Where are they from?
Diane Henkler says
Hi Jo anne –
1. The paint finish in each room varies. Most have flat walls and semi-gloss trim. The Mudroom and baths have a satin finish.
2. In most of the rooms all 4 walls and ceiling are painted the same color. Both the Living Room and Kitchen ceiling are painted in the same color: Quiet Rain 50BG 64/028 Flat finish
3. All the furnishings in the house are from Ethan Allen or were custom-made for the house by local workrooms in Florida.

Bethany says
Would you know anything about the windows looking out to the patio? Love them and their color!
Thanks for the tour, I couldn’t find paint colors listed on HGTV’s webpages for their dream house.
Diane Henkler says
Hi Bethany – The windows/doors are all from Jeld-Wen. They are either custom clad-wood or custom fiberglass doors. The supplier for the house is Mansion Supply in Florida. They may be able to help you find out the exact model number and type of door. Their website is: mansionwd.com or call 407-951-8636
Kathy says
I love the colours and flow of the house. I don’t think the furniture looks cheap but was surprised that the rug under the dining table was so small! Love the ironing board cover, the TV in master bedroom disappears with the framed artwork and the media room is just FUN!! Good job HGTV! BTW, Bedroom #3 was my fav as well!
ANNA says
I DO NOT LIKE FURNITURE. CHEAP
Jo anne says
I wish Ethan Allen was “cheap”.
Jo anne says
Ha ha. I wish Ethan Allen was “cheap”.

Judy H. says
Hi Diane! I am in love with the HGTV 2016 Dream Home. There is such a rich and lovely mix of colors in the home yet a beautiful sense of continuity throughout. The shades of teal and jade with a pinch of peach here and there, such a delight! Your photography is phenomenol! You captured angles and views of that home, I have never noticed in other slide shows. Glad you are feeling better, enjoy your holidays!

Wow! Loving all of the beachy colors- especially that Kentucky Blue. A perfect getaway house for some lucky winner : )
Kathyglo says

Diane Henkler says

Gabby says
Le sigh. So welcoming, relaxing and gorgeous. I can’t decide if I want to lounge by the pool or relax in the tub or that glass shower..or…. :P
chris aka monkey says
i have taken the virtual tour and looked at the pics from this house multiple times but your pics give a fresh perspective, love the way you showed the ceilling and the terrace bedroom is my favorite also, thanks for sharing xx
Pamela says
i love the area where this house is and we visit often. The river is fantastic. And you should certainly put in an outdoor shower, we have had them in the 3 houses we’ve owned.
Michele H says
Thanks for sharing! I especially love the color Thai Teal…..oh and the Island Shores…..and the Terra Cotta. Heck, I love all the colors. The Kentucky Blue is so soothing.
Congratulations also on your new home. I am envious of your dock and gazebo :) I hope you are healing up well. I know you mentioned hurting your hand and arm. And shingles! Ugh, the pain. Take Care.
Aloha, Michele from HI.
Diane Henkler says
Thanks Michele – My right hand and arm are where the Shingles showed up, so that is why I couldn’t use them. They are getting better and I am able to do more with my arm and hand each day. Ugh is right. Having Shingles is the worst pain I have ever experienced. I will be getting the shot as soon as I am old enough. :-) Happy holidays!
