Tonight at 8 pm EST, the winner of the HGTV Green Home Giveaway will be revealed in a special show.
I wonder how that really works. They show the winner all surprised at the door, but I don’t think it’s live. It can’t be. What if you’re not home when they come to call?
So, I guess if I haven’t heard by now, I didn’t win. Darn. I really wanted this one . . .near the ocean, decor in my favorite colors, just the right size for my family. . . I entered every day. Really. It’s the first time I’ve ever been sucked into a contest like this.
If, by any chance, you haven’t seen this lovely home yet, check out this 90-second tour.
And here are a few of my favorite features.
I’ve always loved white kitchens (as if it would ever look this pristine and uncluttered once I got my hands on it), and the backsplash glass tile is just my style, as is the red countertop. In fact, the counter top in my house right now is a deep wine-ish red, but it’s laminate, not Ceaserstone. And did you notice the piece of art hanging in the stairway? LOVE IT!
They call this the Tower Room, and if I had that window seat, I’d get all snuggled up in there, and everything else in my life would go right to hell. OK then, maybe it’s best I didn’t win.
My girls would love these bunk beds. The decor is a little more sophisticated then they are, but they would grow into it.
The point is that I live in New England and I love all the local products and styling in this house.
I want it. I’m going now to throw a little tantrum and sulk.
