Trendy Black-Painted Rooms: Hooked or Hate ‘Em?

By JULIA @ HOOKEDONHOUSES.NET

Did you see the October 2008 issue of Domino magazine? It featured the home of J. Crew’s creative director Jenna Lyons. We’ve been seeing a lot of black-painted rooms this year (even “Design Star” and “Top Design” contestants jumped on board that trend), but she took it to a whole new level, [...]

Lotsa Lights: Hooked or Hate It?

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 [...]

Christina Aguilera’s Nursery for Baby Max

Christina Aguilera has won five Grammy awards and sold over 37 million records worldwide, but she’s a mom now, too. The pop songstress and husband Jordan Bratman welcomed Max Liron into their family on January 12.
In their Mediterranean-style home in L.A., they decorated Max’s nursery with an eclectic mix of Paddington Bears, Nintendo characters, and [...]

Girl’s Room Gone Wild: Hooked or Hate It?

I ran across this little girl’s room featured in Southern Living and thought the way that they mixed the florals and pinks with the animal prints and antiques was unusual. In other words, it’s perfect for our favorite game — Hooked or Hate It?
Take a good look. What do you think? Are you hooked or [...]

Decorative Textured Ceilings: Hooked or Hate It?

Hooked on Houses reader DaK sent me these photos of textured ceilings that are in swirly, spiral and sunburst patterns. It was one of the most unusual ceiling treatments I’ve ever seen, so I just had to show you.
And, of course, I have to know what you think. First look. Then discuss.

Too Much Crown Molding?

You guys know how much I love crown molding. But as I was perusing the MLS listings today, I found this master bedroom that had so many layers of it that I had to stop and ponder: is there such a thing as too much?
I don’t know. I was staring at this picture and pondering [...]

French-Chateau Powder Room: Hooked or Hate It?

Here’s a little something to kick off this week’s Fantasy Open House series. So many of you played along last time when we toured homes for sale in Hyde Park, Ohio that I thought we’d do it again. For the next Open House series I’m showing you some amazing properties on the market in Birmingham, [...]

Pink Kitchen Remodel: Hooked or Hate It?

On the HGTV show Kitchen Trends they featured this newly remodeled kitchen in a segment called “Pretty in Pink.” I thought it would be perfect to kick off a new feature here at Hooked on Houses that we’ll call (drumroll) Hooked or Hate It?
In this game, we’ll look at rooms and vote that we’re either [...]
