HGTV Dream Home 2010

I love every year when HGTV reveals their latest HGTV Dream Home. Each year it’s located in a beautiful location near a lake, mountain, or other breathtaking landscape. This years location is a bit different, it’s in the Sandia Mountains in Sandia Park, New Mexico. Living in a desert isn’t high on my list since I’m more of a beach girl but HGTV if you are listening – I would still LOVE to win this home! In addition to winning a home that has been professionally decorated, it comes with a 2010 GMC Terrain, and $500,000!!! You can enter to win each day and so far I haven’t missed a day. Interested in winning the whole package worth $2million – then click here to sign up.

Let’s go for a tour so I can show you a few of my favorite things. Don’t you love looking at a professionally decorated home? I dream of building a home someday and having enough money left over to decorate it too.

The Great Room – I love that coffee table but for a $1000 at Ethan Allen, I’ll keep looking. The view is beautiful and I love the huge windows letting in all of that natural light.

 The kitchen – the island is huge and would be great during parties. The look is a bit different but the walls are gorgeous. Very open to the nearby dining room and great room.

The recycling/pantry above and the buffet room below have me in complete envy. Organized storage makes me swoon – it doesn’t take much to impress me sometimes. Beautiful and functional all at the same time!

As someone who spends a lot of time in our office, I can tell you that I could get a lot of work done here. Very cozy and functional. I love the trestle desk, open book shelves with the art work attached, and the closed storage with the chair in the back. Great layout.   

The Theatre Room – this makes me go pitter patter. I only wish I had seen this when we completed our room downstairs. It’s the exact same size and layout. I am getting lots of ideas here. First, the walls, can you see that wonderful texture!!! The floor is make of cork to help with sound (we need this) and costs only $3.79 sq/ft. The cork would really help with the sound, keep our feet warm, and more child/pet friendly than the tile we have now. The other thing I love is the coffee table, it’s speaking to me and screaming at me – until I saw the price and I’m feeling deflated once again.

Master Bedroom – it needs a king size bed. Who sleeps in a queen anymore? Otherwise I could sleep really well here.

Guest Bedroom – I LOVE BARN DOORS!!! Need I say more….

  Master Bath – a relaxing retreat. The vanity is beautiful too.

The Casita – a place for couple’s to go on a mini retreat. I live the tile on the walls behind the headboard. The terra cotta paint on the walls is truly beautiful.

The patio behind the Casita. A glass of wine and that fireplace would make me very cozy.

The Back Patio – cozy, cozy couches with a blazing fire. What a perfect way to end an evening with family and friends.

So what do you think. Do you like the Dream House? What would you do if you won it – move in or sell it?
