Not to sound braggy or anything, but I’m Famous now. Okay, I can see that you’re a little skeptical, but it’s true!
So get this. I was reading a newspaper interview with Jennifer Bertrand, one of the top two contestants left on HGTV’s “Design Star” (look up–that’s her). Jen mentioned that she’s been reading design blogs [...]
This breakfast nook was in one of the Homearama houses that you didn’t see during our tour a few weeks ago, but I wanted to show you this breakfast nook. Look at all those light fixtures they hung over this relatively small table. I’ve never seen anyone do that before, have you?
I thought it was [...]
I’m going to take a wild guess that since you’re here you enjoy a good house tour as much as I do. I also love a good blog party and play along whenever possible. So–drumroll!–I’ve decided to host one of my own called “Hooked on House Tours.”
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 5th. If you [...]
Here at Hooked on Houses, I have the best, most loyal readers in the world. To thank you, I like to give something away now and then and show my appreciation. I’d hate for you to think I was taking you for granted.
This week I’m sending a copy of Better Homes and Gardens’ New Decorating [...]
Oh, boy, you guys. We’ve been through a lot together these past 8 weeks, haven’t we?
Let’s see. We witnessed fake-out challenges (”Build a house by the lake”–just kidding!), fake hair, and fake travel (”Pack your bags and come to the airport”–then design a room inside the hangar to look like Mexico!). There were missing sofas, [...]
I guess by now you’re onto me and have figured out I’m not one of those intellectual “I only watch educational programs on PBS” types. I love me some good TV. If there are fabulous sets involved with the show, all the better, which is why “Mad Men” is one of my favorites. Season 2 [...]
Hey, everybody! I’m back after spending eight days in the Washington, D.C. area. It was a great trip but, as my daughter Lily said, “It’s good to be home again.”
We took a trolley tour through Georgetown this week because I had to see all the old townhouses there. And of course I elbowed my way [...]
You guys guessed it! We’re in the Washington, DC, area. We’re staying in Maryland near family but have been taking the train into the city every day to do some major sightseeing. Here we are in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
It’s been brought to my attention that I haven’t actually mentioned where I’m vacationing at the moment. So, just for fun, here are some pictures from our trip so far. See if you can figure out where we are! In this photo, I’m with Lily and my mom (my parents are traveling with us).
I’m still on vacation where it’s hot and I’m sunburned (I apparently forgot the sunscreen on my shoulders yesterday–ouch). Maybe that’s why I’m going crazy over these Big Chill appliances, which look so cool.
Look at this sky-blue fridge and dishwasher. They may look old, but they’re brand spankin’ new. What a fun way to give [...]
