It’s time to rid the post-holiday winter blues and start dreaming of the 2013 HGTV dream home!
This year’s $2 million package has us dreaming again with the ‘low-country-zen’ cottage on the island of Kiawah, South Carolina.
First up is this image of the kitchen: pewter cabinets, creamy quartz counter-top and glass blacksplash…heaven:
Cozy and bright master bed:
Favorite image of the house: Neutral guest bath. Traditional with modern lines.
Porch:
Indigo room: Spindle bed!
I am dying over that guest bath..I might even be convinced to squeegee that humongous piece of glass every day without complaint if I won the beauty.
Enter HERE and HERE daily for your shot at heaven on earth until February 15th.

We have the fever again of being totally excited at the possibility of winning the HGTV 2012 Green Home. The whole house is stunning but I am totally smitten with the exterior:
white + stonework + boxwoods = stunning!
As always, I am loving these more traditional elements with the modern railings, and crisp architectural lines.
Just like the dream home, you can enter twice daily for your chance to win this stunner until June 1st!

Brad and I drove by the house one last time this weekend. The hot tub sounded very enticing on a beautiful spring evening.

As we mentioned on Monday, this weekend I had the chance to go in to the HGTV Dream House! I was so excited to get inside and feel the place out. Today I thought I’d share my top five list of this amazing home.
The first thing I noticed when entering the dream house was the abundance of windows. I could tell immediately that the whole house has been designed around the views of the beautiful Heber valley. Every single room has as many windows as possible, with insane views, truly making the house one in a million:
The floor plan of the home is very unique. In fact, I haven’t seen anything quite like it. It has definitely been designed as a luxurious vacation home, and makes me think of how a five star Bed & Breakfast should be. The three bedrooms of the home are divided by stairs and wings of the home, brought together by the kitchen and great room. So different and fun.
No.3 SizeTo be honest, the home seems a lot smaller than it looks. There is no massive space and the home is decked out to the nines, making every room seem cozy and livable…just as a cozy mountain home should be. This was my favorite room in the house:
The picture does not do the room justice! The pale aqua of the room makes it so serene, inviting and perfect. The en suite is equally beautiful:
I just loved how this vanity was not enormous, cozy and still highly functional.
Hands down the kitchen was amazing. My favorite thing in the whole house? Matching sub-zero fridge and freezer:
Aren’t they beautiful?! Perfect for entertaining a large family.
After seeing this kitchen I am totally converted to quartz countertops. They looked so clean and perfect and apparently are indestructible…perfect for me.
Oh, and those open drawers in the island? More fridges for beverages..holler.
Heated garage with chandeliers…need I say more? When the tour led us to the garage I was thinking why? But then I realized. A heated garage decked with chandeliers and a brand spanking new, shiny, black car..total luxury that I could get very used to :)
It was all stunning and such a blast to look around. Here’s to hoping I’ll win! Make sure you’re entering to win it all…only a few days left to enter!

Happy Monday everyone, we hope you all had a lovely weekend. We were lucky and spent it with friends and family in Midway. We ate too much, laughed a lot and even enjoyed a good football game.
While we were up there, of course we had to check in on the dream home, and were pleasantly surprised to see that they are now hosting tours…Em will be reporting her thoughts on this later this week, but for now CLICK HERE to make reservations, if you’re interested in going yourself.
HGTV.comAs for us, we’ve decided to keep the weekend going, eating lots of leftovers and dreaming of watching the big game in the Dream House family room next year!
