HGTV Dream Home 2008 is truly my Dream Home location! Wow… another Dream Home contest that I will be eating, drinking, sleeping and dreaming about. Thanks HGTV for a wonderful and exciting place again this year.
Hello???…….Hello????….., I went on a little trip and came back to the great white void. Has the blog died an untimely death? I was just getting ready to ask HGTV to check out 10 Crescent Lane for Organic home interiors. Thought the Green Home could also contain interiors decorations and furnishings that contain no pesticides,trace chemicals, fertilizers or dyes. Just 100% organic and raw materials, …but I get the feeling I’m just talking to myself.
Hello???…..Hello????….. anybody home here?
FCole?….FCole?…..Earth to FCole…..HellO?
Hi to all,I've been reading and reading but I can't find any link or anything about the Green House.Will someone please show me the right direction to learn more about it.About the HGTV DH08,the location is awesome the only downside is the huracane season,that every year visit us here in South Florida,and been so close to the water can be very dangerous when the bad weather comes,other than that the location is picture perfect,I have visited the Keys very often but never been at Isla Morada,so guess what?this coming July my hubby and I are on vacation and we planning to go and try to see the site for the new DH08.If we do I'll let you know how it look up close and personal.As for the DIY home I'm playing as every body else who know maybe I get lucky and win this one,but to tell the true don't know where to build it,I've living in South Florida for the last 27 years and is time to move,will love some place with mountain and rivers and a little snow from time to time is to hot down here and after all this years is not that good at least for me.Good luck to every one and just keep dreaming.
YIPES! I must have broke the BLOG. Can’t believe nobody has posted since May 22nd. FCOLE, what’s going on? Figured you and your ssistant were on vacation at the same time (that’s a no-no in office procedure where I come from). Hope nothing major has gone wrong. Please, help us faithful HGTV viewers and either end this blog, start a new one, or explain. Thanks!
Hey Jack
It’s the beginning of June. Can we have an update? Floor plans, a few pictures, video of the construction site. Any or all of the above would be great!
DearHGTVandJack,

Is this no longer an active blog? I check it everyday hoping for new updates or even just posts from other devoted viewers. What’s going on, HGTV?

FCOLE: So glad to know I didn’t kill the blog. Just so grateful to see all my dear blogger friends back. And a few new ones too. I missed you all so much when nothing was posted.

I will now go back and look at your new Blog. Passing on the LOVE to all my friends, and the staff of HGTV.

Dear 2008 HGTV Dream Home I would LOVE to WIN a home
or a MAKEOVER for my HOME. WINNING a home like that
will be a dream come true. For my family.
Thank you HGTV for giving us hope.
Hi, I know what it is to dream about a house. I wish you all good luck. We lost our home to hurricane Katerina. Do you do these homes in south Mississippi? I have watched these dream homes being built and seen them finished. They are everything that one could wish for. Just wanted to say hi and good luck to all.

LOVE THE LOOK ON THE FACE OF ALL THE PREVIOUS WINNERS, AND HOPE THAT SOMEDAY IT’LL BE ME. IT MUST BE A JOY FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO GIVEAWAY A DREAM HOME EVERY YEAR, KEEP UP THE GOOD DEED FOR YOU ARE TRULY BLESSED.
HGTV is where I stop to rest my mind from the ugly things in life. I really enjoy all of the programs currently scheduled,however, I was wondering if HGTV would take on the challenge of designing what is called a theraputic community. I have recently purchase some land in an area that I thing would service the community, a rural population,and service military members and their families. How about it?
Just the house I am looking for.
I love watching the dream home giveaway. I wish that one would be built in S. Cali. The mountains are so beautiful. This years giveaway in the Keys is going to be beautiful. Good luck everyone.

I love to see the show and watch the dream home come together.
Ok HGTV now you are talking my neck of the woods with the new HGTV Dream Home !! What a cultural mecca the Keys certainly are.
I’ve been an avid fan of HGTV since it’s first show on cable. I have learned so very much and gained so much experience from the knowledge you place for everyone on the site. My desiging skills would not be what they are today without you HGTV, so a big THANKS for that alone.
In fact, I have learned so much my friends have suggested that I enter the Design Star contest next season. Which I am heavily considering. What fun that would be !!!!
I have entered the dream home sweepstakes every year and every year I dream of relaxing HGTV style. I love the Dream Home contests each year and look forward to following it’s progression and learn from all the building and decorating ideas each time. I have made so many of the sites ideas work in my home, making it much more comfortable or refreshed.
The site is extremly informative and always offers something for each person who takes the time to visit and explore.
I just entered the Islamorda HGTV Dream Home sweeps and all I can do now is dream of living there and relaxing hammock style in the spring!!
Wishing everyone luck out there, hoping who ever wins the Dream Home will enjoy their new lives there and ultimatly enjoy a Dream Home of a lifetime. Enjoy the site, learn all you can and apply it to every surface you can find!!
Happy Decorating and Happy Crafting ya’ll !!!
Avid HGTV fan,

I love to enter contests I would be so thrilled to provide a new home for my grandson I am raising. His mother was killed in 1995 by a train. He lost not only his mother but his little brother. Winning would bring so love lite into his eyes.

I love your program , I watch the program every chance I have, every day. I have learned so much. Thank you . HGTV for me is like cartoons for the kids
Dear 2008 HGTV Dream Home I would LOVE to WIN a home or a MAKEOVER for my HOME. WINNING a home like that will be a dream come true. For my family and friends… thanx guys
I would love to win the dream home for 2008. I have family in Georgia and South Carolina and I could be closer to my family which really means alot to be. I would move my mom in with me this would bring her closer to my sister in Georgia and her sister in South Carolina. I would try to convince my mom’s youngest brother to move in also because he will be retiring next year. Being that my mom and my uncle are getting older I would be able to be a care giver for them both. Thank You for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Shirley Pegues of Philadelphia, PA
P.S. Oh by the way I have learn so much by watching so many different shows on HGTV.
I dreamed I was living in this house the other night. Don’t know why I dreamed this but pray it’s my intuition telling me to start packing.I’m ready to move there at a moments notice!!!
Dear HGTV Dream home, I would like to win the dream for especially for my mom. She is 73 and worked in New York where she lived by herself. Her dream was to own her own home, but that dream became far reaching when she became very ill, lost her memory, and had to retire from her job of 20 years that she love vey much. I am her only child and and she now lives with me in GA. I wish I could afford to buy her the house of her dreams, this could be a dream come true
Gosh! I just fell in love with this cabin,and my relatives live in that state-GREAT!-We are from Arizona,and want to get away and this would be the perfect chance for my husband and I and our faithful dog Chopper.I hope I become lucky enough
to win this beautiful dream home.Crossing my fingers in hopes and dreams

We lost our house in KATRINA two years ago. 7538 Expedition dr. n.o.la and can’t afford to repair it, thats why i’m entering this sweepstake hoping to win so i can repair my house and move back in it. I’m going to enter in this contest everyday hoping to win my dream make over.
Each year I enter to win the HGTV Dream Home and Pray this will be the year my Dream will come true, Not just for me but for my Mom, she truly deserves a nice home to live in, as she has never had one, she has had Rheumatoid Arthritis since she was twenty-six, she managed to work for elevin
years after being diagnoised with this painful desease and she raised four children by her self, as my Dad didn’t want to be bothered with some one who wasn’t perfect. I have done all I can to make my Mom’s life comfortable, but have not been able to get a house for her to live in. This truly would be a DREAM Come True. Thank You For another chance to Dream and Hopefully Win.

Hi Dream Home Giveaway
Saw the house once again on HGTV, it is beautiful. Many people watch action movies some watch soaps but me I live and breath HGTV. My family call me the HGTV queen. When they call home and ask me what I am doing, before I can answer they quickly say “What Watching HGtV” and I laugh and pretend that I am watching a western or something else. They quickly respond “Yeah Right Momma”. They know me and know I look and all the shows. Desire and Design, Homes across america, room by room and many others. Thank you for many days of HGTV. I watch sometimes day in and day out.
