That HGTV Dream Home Is MINEZZZZ
So, uhm...can we talk about the HGTV Dream Home for two thousand elevs for a hot min? CAUSE I WANT THAT FUCKING THING SOOOOO BADLY.
It's in Stowe, Vermont...and that's a bit too far away, but I seriously dig it this year! It's like waaay hunting lodge chic-y!
I gotta say, I always enter the Dream Home giveaways, because hello: who doesn't want a Dream Home. But I've def never felt as much of a connection before to the dreamy homes as I have to this one.
And I mean, how fucking cool would it be if a Design Blogger actually won this? Lemme answer that for you: VERY FUCKING COOL!!!!
While I'm not normally a wood girl (and there is a lot of wood in this one), it actually makes the house so warm and inviting. And also there is also a distinctive modern edge which I totally dig. I mean, this is so not my usual style, but I'm totally diggin the kitchen. Also, not sure when this started for me, but I am OBSESSED with those glass front refrigerators that you can see into. For some reason, in my mind those things = this is a nice house.
Here is some tree-top enclosed annex that "blurs the lines between indoors and out." Again, I would say: if you have some place in your home that is accurately referred to as a motherfucking "annex," chances are you have a pretty kickass house.
Holy shit! Look at this entryway! There are lockers, ppl. Obviously everyone is gonna be going skiing and snowboarding, or in my case, hot chocolate drinkin and there is a LOT of friggin gear you need for that shit. So duhsies: everyone gets their own locker in the mudroom. Only if you made my mudroom muddy I would SLAY YOU WITH A SUMURAI SWORD.
Ok, the combo of that horrendous rug and the horrible styling of this entryway make me want to drown a kitten, but let's keep an open mind and just move the hell on.
The furniture and country cozy atmosphere of the Family Room makes my eyes bleed a touch, but I can replace all that shit once I'm a Vermont kajillionaire! We're walking, we're walking ...
Mostly lovely Dining Room (again, except for the rug):
Yowza...here is the Master Bedroom. Granted, this joint is very fucking red, but I don't hate it as much as I thought I would when I spied the thumbnail. Though it also sort of reminds me of a Tae Kwon Doe school or something. The "wax on wax off" jokes in here I'm sure would be e-n-d-l-e-s-s.
I like the Guest Bedroom suite WAY THE HELL more than the Master. Though again with the styling: breakfast trays!? TWO?! Paging Emily Henderson! Also I'd like to take a poll: who the fuck actually uses trays like that to serve people breakfast in bed!? Anyone!? I MUST KNOW! But yeah, this room is pretty solid (except that wood panel above the drapes looks unfinished).
Here's the Master Bathroom. A few things to note: a. if there is actually no door there and instead just curtains, whoever approved that should be taken out back and burned on a stake. If there are pocket doors there that I can't see, than fine. b. While not having a shower door looks pretty, it's VERY fucking cold in there...espesh in Vermont. c. I like my Master Bath to be faaaaar more luxe than this shit. I mean, I know its not an incredibly luxe house, but this is the one spot you can give ppl something to sink their teeth into. So, I'm bummed it just looks like this:
ZOMGZ...the views!
LOVE the sliding barn door in the Living Room. LOVE that whole bar area too. But chartreuse just makes me think of Oprah, which makes me stabby, and I just don't like that color for decorating. Ok, so for those of you playing along, pretty much all of the furniture needs to go thus far. But I ain't sweatin it, cause I'm gonna be a Vermont Kajillionaire! Sidenote: wtf is with those 3 apples lined up?! Was someone gonna get those shot off of their heads or something???
This ski Dorm Room is a killer idea! The McDonalds inspired colored scheme? Not so much.
Ok, I know we're talking large groups here, but bathroom stalls in the Guest Bath!? Why not just go for broke and throw in some urinals?? Otherwise, it's kinda cute...especially for kids. Even though we don't have any, but whatevs...
Double washer/dryers!? Yep, I dig that big time. This is obvies the room my maid will live in...maybe we'll unplug one of the dryers and she can just sleep in there.
OOOH....PRETTY!
Well, anywayz folks, that's my new house! Glad you could all come by for a tour. Since I have such a good feeling about this shiz, I would probs reccomend that you guys don't even enter the giveaway twice a day until February 18th. I mean, it doesn't really make sense, and you ppl are all sooooo busy anyway! You deserve some time off from that computer! You're probably going blind AND getting carpal syndrome tunnel RIGHT NOW. Go get a facial or something!
