This has become a bit of a tradition in our family. Entering, dreaming of winning...knowing for sure that you ARE going to win and starting to plan your life around all the fabulous entertaining you'll do in this new home. Surely with entries being accepted until the day of my birthday, this is HGTV's way of letting me know that this year is the year! I mean come on, it's in Sonoma this year. Neil loves Sonoma!!! It's a Victorian. I love Victorians!
Foyer
Dining Room
I find it really annoying how every year the designers of the dream home steal images right out of my brain when they decorate these places. I mean come on! Faux bois upholstered chairs?! I have this fabric swatch at home!
Kitchen
Can't have a house in wine country without a wine fridge!
Living Room
Once again, love everything about this room! The cozy chairs...the chandelier...that sea grass ottoman side table!
Family Room
Study/Wine Tasting Room (but of course!)
Master Bedroom
While I would not immediately jump to green as the best bedroom color, it looks so beautiful here. Even the ceiling is green! But everything else being white really tones it down.
Master Bath
I love these lanterns over the tub, they will be mine! Oh but wait...we're going to win this house so I shouldn't run out and buy them just yet...
Master Closet
What's up with the entire cream colored wardrobe? Where are my hot pink shoes?
Guest Bedroom
Kids Bedroom
Who are these magic children that vaccum so much they require their very own vacuum for their room?!
Outdoor Patio/Grill Area...can I just live out there?
And of course, what is a house in wine country without a section for your very own Zinfandel grapes?! A little piece of Neil is dying right now reading this.
Daisy's Dog house
Always one of my favorite parts of the Dream Home...the matching dog house they create! This one is adorable in the same Victorian style. I fear Daisy will destroy it like Godzilla but it's so cute!
For even more pictures of the Dream Home, go here. And of couse the most important part! Entries start January 1st here. With any luck, we'll be celebrating my 32nd birthday (ugh...I just threw up a little), in Sonoma!
1 long sleeved t-shirt + 12 feather boas, some yellow tights + a lot of sewing = me as a chicken! Neil and I have a totally different couples costume in the works for tonight. Pics to come!
As Neil is well aware...he likes to joke that there's a package a day arriving at the house. Of course I insist this is not true and I haven't won anything on eBay in a long time. So I guess I'm making up for that with 1 big thing (in size, not cost...again, I love ebay!).
Check out my new chair! It's so snazzy and retro, I love it. And the best part, it was $54! Did I mention I love ebay? It's going to go upstairs in one of the guest bedrooms, maybe eventually to find it's way into nursery decor (some day far, far away :)
OK seriously...have you seen this commercial? What is going on with this? I've been in marketing for a long time but I'm really not familiar with the "creepy hobbit-like troll with a fruit basket strategy" to sell high end business computers. I find it rather creepy.
