A Hint?
Will HGTV Dream Home 2010 boast an ocean view? Photo by rawkblog4.
I just love all the wonderfully creative comments you’ve posted about the HGTV Dream Home 2010 site location and home design. I’ve compiled quite a list of must-see vacation destinations, that’s for sure!
But now we are getting closer to an announcement. And I am going to throw out a hint as to the location. A piece of eco-friendly decor will lead you in the right direction. This home accessory can be found in one of two photo galleries. Of course, I am not going to tell you what it is or in which gallery you will find it. Check out the HGTV Green Home Guest Bedroom Gallery or the HGTV Green Home Master Bathroom Gallery. Check them out, examine each photo, then come back here to post your theory. No suggestion is too outlandish.
Oh, and while you’re clicking through galleries, don’t forget to enter the HGTV Green Home Giveaway — and invite your friends to enter too!
I have to agree with DB Coop,the next dream home is going to be in the Southwest I’m going with somewhere in New Mexico,maybe Taos because of its artsy reputation. (main clue is the catcus lamp an then the flowery pillow on the bed,the red and green color schemes,and the aloe vera plant)
Diane B (not to be confused with Diana B)
The paper mache lamp shaped like a cactus and flanked by the aloe plants leads me to believe something desert-y like Arizona or New Mexico… hmmm.
I’m thinking, ocean-view, yes…where, not sure…Myrtle Beach, South Carolina? Maybe…do not over analyze photos too much.
The Mississippi Sandhill Crane has become the first endangered bird to have a young hatched where an egg was fertilized by a sperm that was previously thawed out from a cryogenic state. This occurred at the Audubon Institute as part of this subspecies’ Recovery Plan. I believe the site may be New Orleans, where the Audobon institute is located or near Bosque del Apache wetlands reserve in NM which would fit with the cactus lamps and Aloe Vera plant
For those guessing Australia or the Caribbean islands….. the dream home will be in the continental United States, that means only the states that are within the landmass of the North American Continent, excluding Alaska. And that does not include Canada or Mexico, these are not states within the United States, they are countries. Hawaii is an island, not connected to the land mass of the North American continent, so will not be included either unless they drastically change the rules they’ve been operating under for the last…. however many years? 12 years? The rules of the dream homes always only include the continental, contiguous United States.
I think this picyure is definitely not of florida. I have been there tons of tie and this looks like ausle Hault, maine
Definitely somewhere in the Carribean…why not? The beautiful blue mosaics, conch and seashell finishes all call out the beauty of this wonderful place!
Now I feel like one of the gang as my last comment is awaiting moderation. My guess for the next dream home is that it is going to be somewhere in New Mexico.(Even though I love the thought of a Southern Calif location, maybe around Escondido.)
Judging by the element colors in the master bathroom and the property link of the picture above
It will definately be a sea-side property in Malibu Beach, California.
When i ready about the eco friendly cypress wood I think about Cypress trees … someone said Amelia Island, state of Florida. Florida state shell is the conch.
Amelia Island, whomever said that might be on to something. The pictures throws everyone off because of the mountains. But aren’t those tress cypress trees.
Or I go immediately back to my original theory, of west coast northern california 101 coatsline.
MORE CLUES MARY!!!
)))
that is west coastline other wise the coastline if it was east coast would be in the right not the left.
I think that the next Dream Home will be located somewhere on/near the beach. Wherever it is… I know that it will be great! You and your crew always do a fantastic job! Keep up the outstanding work!
Somewhere in New England, rocky coastline.
Would the Outer Banks, North Carolina be too “outlandish” of a guess? They have cypress wood and it’s on the beautiful east coast Atlantic Ocean. I wonder….
Did you see the bright red bed made of cypress? What about an area with cypress wetlands? Perhaps in NW TN – Big Cypress Tree State Park is located there.
Nags Head, North Carolina ther is they have a conch shell bed and breakfast. Beautiful ocean veiws. check out there website.
hmmmm… the soap in the bathroom could be a very good clue as to a location in Florida. After the museum on Sanibel Island continue “up” the main drag. Cross to Captiva and you will end up at a wonderful location for a luxury, dream home – South Seas Plantation.
I think Maine or Massachusetts if it is coastal, or could Be North Carolina.
The soap…”South Seas” is in Captiva Island, Florida.
Shells, shells and more shells. Mmmm…. Xel-Ha, Mexico?
CALIFORNIA!!!!

Definitely Australia DUDE!
The one thing that stood out to me was the table made of reclaimed cypress…a nice eco-friendly piece of furniture. It was made by a carpenter named David Brown. Cypress and David Brown both hail from California. There is a second table in the room also made by David Brown.
I think the home is going to be in Berkley California (or somewhere similar…San Fran?)
YNOTME= It’s good that you Clarified That. I still think that you are on to something, when you said, ” I think there is something to the last sentence….. “no suggestion is too OUTLANDISH” So, what does outland mean,”. And I really think that the Color of the Sand or Clay and those Mountains are pointing to something, too.
STEPHANIE= what do you mean about the coastline being to the Left or the the Right? I don’t understand????
As a Detective may say, ” My Leads are Starting to Get Cold”—- but I’m still working on this. I’m starting to think though, that it is Not Florida, and Not California either—- it’s somewhere else.

Duh it’s FLORIDA if you read the discription under the photo you would see it says clearly a FLORIDA treasure chest.
READ THE CAPTIONS UNDER THE PICTURE THE ANSWER IS RIGHT THERE!!
I too, thought that “Conch Shells” were only in Florida. I’m finding out that they are in other States, too. I think that “Conchology” is Possibly a Clue, but putting Too Much Emphasis on Florida. I read, “The History of the Conch Republic” which Defines Key West, was a tongue-in-cheek protest secession of the city of Key West from the United States on April 23, 1982. ”
“While the protest that sparked its creation, the original protest event was motivated by a U.S. Border Patrol roadblock and checkpoint which greatly inconvenienced residents and was detrimental to tourism in the area.”
I think that this is fun— I’ll come back later—- but I’m leaning more towards maybe Texas, or Tennessee? Or somewhere close to these areas.

You will see the captions only if you click on the links she put in her hint.
EN REALIDAD ES UN PRESIOSO LUGAR , MALIBU TIENE SU ENCANTO, ME GUSTARIA CONOCERLO SUS MONTANAS LAS HORILLAS COSTERAS Y SU ARQUIOLOGIA ES ALGO ESPECTACULAR
THANKS AGAIN
definitely the southwest…I’m thinking Scottsdale, AZ or possibly Sedona! The cacti hidden amongst the sea decor gives it away. Plus AZ is really growing and is one of the best places to live! The southwest gives the best views.
TERESA CASTILLO= Sorry, but No Comprende En Espanol—- I don’t have a Clue what you are trying to say, other than, ” Malibu”.
I don’t think that it will be California. I thought maybe, Southern CA., but then, when I tried to “do a Google Search” last week — this Popped Up:
It has to be the Sisal-Style Nylon Rug that serve as a foundation for a “happy …. Venice Beach? Water theme…
but California seems to be Out of the Picture …

YNOTME= when you Blogged, ” In the past it has helped to carefully analyze the wording of the clues, not just the pictures. I think there is something to the last sentence….. “no suggestion is too OUTLANDISH” — I think a Good Observation. This is what I found out:
1. The actor, Sean Connery starred in a movie, OUTLAND, and the theme was that he was assigned to a mining colony on one of Jupiter’s moons. There is a Jupiter in Florida—but Very close to Port St. Lucie. I don’t think that HGTV would pick a site this close to the Green Home.
2. After retiring the comic strip, Bloom County, he began his second comic strip- a little girl from the “wrong side of the tracks” in Bloom County, entered a magic doorway in the city of OUTLAND. Bloom County is theoretically somewhere in “rural” America. Maybe “Rural” America being a Clue?
3. There are “OUTLAND Businesses” in Minnesota; Charlotte, NC; and in Ontario and Alberta, Canada.
4. There is an “OUTLAND Trophy Award” for football, based out of Kansas.
I think that all of the above lead us Nowhere.
However, there is an OUTLAND EXPEDITIONS near the Ocoee River, one of the Top Ten White Water Rivers in the United States. It is a scenic area nestled amongst the trees,and the Appalachian Mountains in Cleveland, Tennessee.—-
Maybe RiverFront Property????

??????????? Cod, ????????????
Kap-Kabeljau, Massachusetts?
Looks like the So Cal coast above Malibu…north to Oxnard… or, possible location is around Big Sur. Looks like the “new” landscape there after the big 2008 fire. South Seas on the bar of soap could be possible clue. Even theme of spa-like rooms could be the location of either area with many luxury spas.
My guess is the home will be located in one of the deep Southern coastal states such as AL, LA, MS. The eco friendly reclaimed cypress wood bed is made from trees that thrive along riverway’s and bayou’s…henceforth a home where the rivers meet the ocean? Just a hunch…
maine or rhode island
It looks like MALIBU, California
Maybe Virginia Beech
Would the next home possibly be built in Hawaii? The giant clam is found in the South Pacific. The Hawaiian’s blow the conch shell in the evening and/or to call you to a luau. Is the Bradbury art seaweed or coral? It appears there is an orchid in the clam. It all reminded me of The Hawaiian Islands.
San Diego –
Mistral Soap
3444 Tripp Court Suite C
San Diego, CA 92121
I’d say Delaware
I’ll guess Delaware
Texas has wonderful beaches. Lot’s of cacti and aloe vera. Also, lot’s of shells in general. Our coastline is long and the topography is much varied. I’m guessing Texas.
I think that is an ocean front viex house. I i really think and hope is located in Astoria, Oregon right at the beach the used to film the famous movie The Goonies. that will be a great location and it will bring some amazing memories!!!!1
