I’ve been busy redecorating my house over this three-day holiday weekend and getting ready for fall (Happy Labor Day to my U.S. readers!) .
I’m participating in The Inspired Room’s Fall Nesting blog party tomorrow, so I’m trying to get my house all spiffed up before everyone arrives. There was a lot to do because, as [...]
Looky here. Rachael Ray’s kitchen set has a blue Big Chill fridge like the ones I showed you earlier. Her orange stove is apparently a reworked original, but the refrigerator is a retro-inspired new one.
Here’s a shot of it closer up:
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 [...]
My friend Cindy over at The Amateur Tightwad told me I had to check out Anna Maria Horner’s amazing kitchen makeover, and I’m so glad she did. Wait until you see what lies beyond those bright blue doors!
Have you heard of Anna Maria Horner yet? If not, you’re in for a treat. Anna Maria is [...]
Okay, boys and girls. It’s time to play “Can You Guess Who Lives Here?”
Believe it or not, this unassuming kitchen belongs to a big-time celeb whose life is much more colorful than this bland decor would suggest. Can you guess who cooks here? (Or whose personal chef does?)
Here are your 3 clues:
1. You could say [...]
Are you ready for another fabulous Fantasy Open House Week here at Hooked on Houses? Don’t forget–it starts Monday morning, bright and early!
Here’s a sneak peak at one of the kitchens we’ll get to see. Trust me when I say these houses are amazing, and you won’t want to miss a single one.
Each day you’ll [...]
Hmmm. Something’s just not right with this kitchen. Did they think those pendant lights were intended to keep the french fries warm? My six-year old daughter Lily just walked by, glanced at this, and said, “They better be careful. Those lights might burn up the countertop!”
This kitchen belongs to an older home in Cincinnati that [...]
What I should have been doing tonight: working on some of my writing projects that need attention. You know, for my real job that I actually get paid for.
What I’ve been doing instead: searching for old decorating books on eBay and then waging a bidding war on a vintage one from 1965, simply because 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 [...]
It may look like a playhouse for children, but it’s not. Believe it or not, fully grown people actually live there. My guess is that they aren’t too tall and they don’t weigh very much.
Built in 1912 by contractor Arthur Weeden, Toronto’s Little House, as it’s known, is only about 7′ wide, 47′ deep, with [...]
