Welcome to this week’s Hooked on Fridays blog party. Here’s what I’m hooked on today–this charming Craftsman Bungalow that I spotted over at Lookiloos.

From the BlissDom Conference website:
The belles of BlissDom (that’s you!) will descend upon Nashville, Tennessee on February 6 and 7 and [...]
Wow! What a party this has been! I thought it would take me two days to visit everyone, but it turned into three. I didn’t expect so much company! But, as Catherine at Design Editor reminded us in this photo from her house tour, it’s impossible to have too big a party (and anyone who [...]
Welcome to the “Hooked on Holiday House Tours” blog party! I’m so glad you came. First of all, help yourself to one of these Chocolate Candy-Cane Cupcakes. We baked them today and they’re pretty yummy! I figure you could use a little sugar before starting the tour (recipe below if you want to make them [...]
