Thanks so much for hosting this great party! I’m going to begin house touring first thing in the morning!
x…x
1:28am – What am I crazy?! Took forever to upload my pics but finally did it. Can’t wait to check out all the tours tomorrow. Have to get my beauty sleep now!
Thanks for hosting. And for telling me that blogger was having issues AGAIN! Sometimes I think it is just me.
Can’t wait to visit the homes.
where’s mine?

Thanks for doing this,

This is such a fun idea, Miss Julia! Now I just need to tell my hubby and kids that I will be taking the day off today to surf the house tours!
Oh, what a fun idea! I’m in the process of decorating our new home so maybe I’ll find some neat ideas! Can’t wait to check them all out, thanks for the cool fun!
FUN! I can’t wait to check everyone out. And I’m glad to know it wasn’t just me that was having some serious issues with Blogger yesterday. I think there was literally steam coming out of the top of my head. My daughter swears she saw it. lol
ooooh I’m about to go viisit them all, hooray
I didn’t get one posted but I did link to all the fun…
I’m jealous of Angela…I have to work, but promise to visit each blog later today!
Since my link isn’t up yet, me thinks Julia is working like a mad woman to get her list completed.
Thanks Julia for the hard work it takes to pull off an event like this.
Jane
You rock
I love being a Lookey-Lu! Thanks for indulging me!
Julia – I’ve had a great time touring this morning. This was a fab idea. Thanks for throwing the party!
Marie Louise
Ahhh – your sweet Julia!! Glad to have joined the fun – such neat homes today!!
Karla & Karrie
I’ve got my comfy shoes on, a snack packed, and am heading out to check out the tour. Thanks for introducing me to some lovely new blogs Julia!
Thanks for including our house tour (De-Victorianization on Division) – it’s a work in progress, but truly a labor of love.
Have to run to Wichita to ortho & endo docs for ds3 will tour upon my return this afternoon.
Oh my goodness! So many tours, so little time…I may have to take a few days to do this
how fun!
Yay! Starting tour…
How fun is this! Heading out to the tour.
woohoo! I’m not participating but did link to you today, Julia. I can’t wait till naptime today (not mine…the girls!) when I can actually take the tour myself!!
So much fun!! It’s great to peek inside some beautiful homes.
Wow! Julia, it will take me awhile to get to all of these and to actually spend as much time with them as I want to. I think it will be the whole week before I’ve visited all of them. I love the variety of what I’ve seen so far and it’s been a great introduction to some of these blogs. So, thanks for organizing this! What a wonderful idea. I know it will take me some time to get through all of these, but we should definitely do this again in about six weeks!
Loving this…thanks Julia !!!
Kathy
Phew! I just finished up my last tour! That was so much fun!
I even feel so smart because I have actually been to one of the featured homes..and it wasn’t even the one I featured! It was the Frank Lloyd Wright Fallingwater home in PA from AtticMag: House Matters Blog’s tour.
What is kind of funny about that is that I was around 20 years old…on a white water rafting trip with friends…and I kept begging everyone to go to that house with me and no one wanted to go…so I went by myself! So, I have been a lover of homes for a long, long time
Thanks Julia!
And thanks to all of the gracious hosts and hostesses who participated:)
Bella
PS: Thanks for adding my link, too
Oh no…now I will get NOTHING done today…I’m going to be clicking all over…
Hi, I was a bit late to the party, but my open house tour listing is up and running!
Hi,
I just posted pictures of Sunbonnet Cottage for a tour. For some reason though, you have to click on the View All Photos button to bring up the pictures.
Thank you for having the blog party.
Melissa
Sunbonnet Cottage
Hey Julia, I had more fun with this tour than you could imagine. Thank you so much for all the work that went into making this a successful party!
My absolute favorite was the summer tents! Those totally blew me away as I have never even heard of such a thing! Now that’s livin’!
Ok for my personal favorite was Southern Hospitality by Rhoda. Her Bedroom has the exact same dark colored furniture as our family room and we also have the blue and white theme like Rhoda. Our new home’s family room will be very similar to the one we currently have but now the color on my walls will be the same as Rhoda’s. That bedroom of hers was my absolute favorite room on this tour. And I’m ever so thankful for the wall color inspiration.
This party has been lovely! I have been so inspired by the homes to do those little things I haven’t done yet to my own home in the past 2 1/2 years.
The best part about touring these lovely homes is that it helped me realize that my home is beautiful too. I thought I had to go for glamorous but comfy and personal really does look quite good!
Can we do this again next month?
Hi Julia,
How do I link the button back to your blog? Sorry, I am so new at this.
I actually did hyper link your blog name in my post to your blog, but I don’t know how to link the button.
Thank you so much for any help you can give on this matter.
You are wonderful.
Melissa
Julia,
I just figured it out on how to link the picture back to you.
Thanks!
Melissa
Thanks for hosting such a fabulous home tour!!! Gotta run…lots to see and don’t want to miss a thing

~Blessings,

I must say that I had a lot of fun. So many different styles and yet all these houses are so special. It was a great idea to host an open house party.
Thanks. Suzy
Knoonell–you want to do this again next month? Ask me again after I’ve had more than 4 hours of sleep (ha). -J
Fun, fun, fun. I am loving this tour. Thank you Julia for hosting such a delightful party. You rock!
Smiles ~ Ramona
Thank you for putting this all together… so fun to tour all the homes… took me awhile to get through all the houses… I’m tired!
FUN to see my art work on all the sites too!
FAB FAB FAB idea… glad I participated too!
Fifi
OMG, I am not even halfway. I am loving it!!! Thanks, Julia
I’m pooped ….
I am slowly making my way through this list! Great idea, Julia, and thanks for taking on such a huge task. We all appreciate, I am sure!
Linda
Girl, you have got to be exhausted! This was so much fun! I have enjoyed clicking around the party, which you really know how to throw.
Hope you get some rest tonight!
I’ve only made it through a handful
I keep getting sidetracked looking through the other entries on blogs I’m visiting for the first time. -Jane
omg…it’s 1:15 (A.M.!!) and I’m still not done!!!
Hi Julia
I was going to participate, but it’s been so busy at my house I barely have time to visit anyone on this list, much less the people that have left comments on my blog LOL I am going to try and visit everyone on here eventually though. I hope you do this again after the kids go back to school
Now it’s time for me to catch up with you…..
hugs,
rue
Great party- love it…love your blog.
I am so sorry I missed this Julia but I am catching up now!
You were so sweet to host this huge party!
Love,
Sue
Thanks, this looks like fun. I have been taking my readers on a home tour…slowly. I’ve only done several rooms and once in a while I add another to the tour.
I really enjoyed this! It’s fun to peak into people’s homes. Good idea! I haven’t made it through all the homes yet, but those tents really are amazing.
- Amy from Texas
WoW- I would really like to join. But let me ask- is this a home tour of the bloggers home? Is that right? So, do a home post and then let you know. Love home tours! Daisy~
Julia,
I LOVE it! Many thanks! I should have asked you first before I stole your picture and link…sorry! I am new to all of this linking stuff and don’t know proper ettiquete yet, but I’m trying! Thank you for being so gracious!
You’ve made my month with your wonderful idea! I keep coming back to peek in and snoop around
Happy house hunting!
Love,
Jackie
What fun this was!! It was so interesting to see such a variety of homes. I loved this!
This is fun! I’ll link to this in a few days. I just posted a fall giveawy today so I need to wait until that it over.
Wow! What a great idea for a post!
I hope you’ll come over and see my little place sometime too.

Hi I have a house tour on my blog today – Can I add it ? if so how can I? Thanks
Sorry, but this blog party ended a few years ago.
Oh, this is awesome! On my way!
sometimes i feel like i miss all the fun..great stuff this.
Thanks for the great list Hookedonhouses, you guys are the best!
Just looked at the gorgeous Connecticut farm house photos from the movie “Bringing up Baby” and it DOES remind me of the movie “Connecticut Yankee” but it also reminded me of an old (1940s) movie entitled “Claudia”. Ever seen it?
