Oxford Road House Tour

last modified: last month

I’ve been receiving a few emails from Studio McGee showing the design process for various rooms of this 27,000 sq. ft. Provo, UT home. Just posting for anyone who might be interested. Some of the details in my email videos were pretty crazy, such as the process to bring in the 1,100 pound marble tub (shown at approximately 7:15) This video wasn’t an email I received showing the design process. This just shows the completed home. FYI…the video’s just over a half hour.

The owner is a co-owner for Crumbl. No wonder their cookies are pricey!

Not necessarily of the same size or to the same extent of being so overdone, but there are many very large houses in the Wasatch Front. This is Utah's main metro and population belt, from north of Salt Lake City through and including the city and extending to towns and cities to the south.

Would have loved to see this in person! Interesting it's the co-owner of Crumbl. I do buy their cookies on Thursdays when they have the Thins available-I've never been a big, fat cookie fan. But, especially those Chocolate Chip Thins are the best!

Camden House & Garden Tour July 16
Q

The Camden House and Garden Tour included one house/location that both my husband and I adored. Loved the colors and funky folk art. Some of the homes had fabulous new kitchens and beautiful antiques. Although most of the gardens were gorgeous, we suspected that garden maintenance is big business in the Camden area. I saw a couple of unusual, small hydrangea I would love to have but I preferred the gardens that looked like the homeowner had designed them and took care of them. Two of the gardens were on a dead end street where the garden club volunteers did their best to keep traffic moving but the street wasn't wide enough for all the cars. Otherwise, there wasn't any trouble with traffic and one location was served by a wonderful little shuttle bus.

Hi Patty! I keep the group private because there are some addresses and pictures of our kids up on the site or in profiles. Anyone can join but it makes me feel like I'm trying to protect the members. We have about 30 members - 10 active. Most are women with husbands and kids of school age, a few men. Most members are not originally from the area, often military transplants, with 1 - 3 years of active gardening experience in this area. I drop members who have not visited the site for over two months so there is not a huge list of members. Most active members try to follow organic gardening methods and buy non-gmo seeds. In the past we have had pot lucks to swap seeds (just had this in Jan), swap seedling in April, and one or two harvest parties in the summer or fall. I have met most of the active members and hosted a large party last summer before I took over the group. I had never met anyone from the group at that point in time. It was really odd to invite a bunch of people I had never met to my house. It worked out fine but I am surprised I did that sometimes. The garden tours will be a new addition to our activities and I'm not entirely sure how to best work it. The idea was original part of the group but because we have so many beginning gardeners, people are often shy about their gardens. My sister lives in Oakland CA where they have a large back yard garden tour every year - it's an all day affair of people walking through your yard. While that's great for the people who go on the tour, it's hard on the garden. I was thinking of coming up with a size and tour length that was very easy on the host and garden yet showed our members what people can do with a normal yard and some hard work. If you'd like some more info, please email me from my page - I think that is set up properly. We could also meet in a public place for a cup of coffee to make sure everyone is on the up and up. Thanks, Melissa

Another reason I’ll never set foot in crumbl! So many locally owned great bakeries I would prefer to support.

I’m distracted between understanding the intention, function, layout, and ”how’d they do that?” and the decorating, and loving the murals/mural wallpaper.

I wonder why there is a floor fan in one of the bedrooms? It’s a nice one.

Sooooo many questions.

This was the first emailed video I received that shows some of the “before” process.

Even moooore questions!

How do you clean a marble tub? (also, the installation reminded me of our lowly split level house bathroom remodel. Our contractor brought in a couple of extra guys to help him and his crew carry the tub up the half-flight ((a good reason for a side-split house)). It was still mostly crated. Got it to the bathroom, uncrated the rest, and ... a large flaw. Clearly happened before that tub left the factory, before it ever got crated. The contractor’s face just collapsed. This upset the whole timing for completion, which impacted his other pending jobs.)

The guys adjusting the large rug in the living room, did it by the grasping the corners. I wondered why one image showed it looking askew. Our rug guys are meticulous about rolling it up and moving the tube so it doesn’t go out of shape.

The decorator chose the books! Based on the homeowners’ interests, but that’s clearly for the covers, they won’t be read. Also re: the books, the glass door bookcase in the family room is cool, so are library ladders, but are they especially cumbersome to use with the glass doors?

Can you share more videos? I want to know about the twin pianos and a secure door! I wondered if it’s a separate entrance for piano lessons?

bpath, these are the other emailed videos. I think some coverage of the twin pianos is in the first one.

ETA - The address is 808 Oxford Road, Provo, Utah if anyone wants to google.
