Green Features of Dream Home
Today, our Super Fan gives you the skinny on the eco features of HGTV Dream Home 2010. And tomorrow, the online team hops on a plane for New Mexico. We will be spending the week snapping photos and taking notes for the virtual tour, due to launch December 14. Stay tuned for some updates from the home next week. I might even share some nighttime photography — builder Mark Roccaforte tells me the night sky is simply amazing in the San Pedro Overlook neighborhood.
Sounds amazing! I know we call THIS the Dream Home….Very thankful it has the GREEN, too. W2G!
The insulation mentioned goes along with the crazy blizzard pic posted the other day.
That's cute and thoughtful, "Dream and Green, too."
Thanks for the heads-up GAIL on the green side of the Dream Home. Now, I want that tankless hot water system with this remarkable, cuttng-edge and as yet unavailable to the public water heater. Link me up, write me in, and let's get this deal done!
Going Green's no longer just a Dream—it's a Dream come true!
This sounds to cool to be true. question: What is the Square footage of the house and how big is the lot?
3900 sq. ft. Lot appears to be about 3.5 acres. Check out San Pedro Overlook Subdivision map.
Thanks Gail, you look fabulous, as always. Jack is on the right track, as usual. Sensible landscaping plan, can't wait to see it. Keep the Dream Green.
Mary: I just read your post. Virtual tour due December 14th. And nighttime photography. Oh, happy day! Thanks HGTV.
Mary. Love the idea of green with modern design. The sudden snow is just beautiful. I can't wait to win it. Question though. In what phase and on what lot is the house built?
Lot # 87 Check out San Pedro Overlook sundivision map.
I saw that on the photos, the solar panels on the roof and the caption reads that it is a tax credit along with very reduced utility costs. That was cute one of the bloggers said dream and green, true, also the beautiful recycled glass aluminum wall covering on the 16 ft. wall in the kitchen. I didn't know that about the sprinkler system, I'll have to listen to Gail again. The revolving web photos show the house in some views in the evening and the skies are amazing!
Question on solar power panel & new tankless hotwater system? Can this system be used if electric is out/down? That's the problem with the this system that it's not available at all times? ____
Does this solar panel afford electrical conversion/uses of homes electrical power temporarily during power outages during storms/inclement weather? ____
Is it a manual bypass or an automatic system to go online if and when there is a loss of homes main electical power?
Can you store power, transfer it, & utilize it, as your own homes power supply daily? ____That is a major lessoned I learned with a tankless hot water system? It does not work, if there is no electricity & stuck with only option of no shower or a cold shower…definitely refreshing…let me tell ya!
PFG: I would think that a simple answer to some of your questions would be a 'back-up' generator? I have read that Kohler makes the best Solar Electric System backup generators on the market. It is my understanding that they run on either natural gas or propane by just making a few internal adjustments and can be started automatic so that there is no power outage. They are also the only generator on the market today, whose warranty isn't void if used with solar applications.
No need for a 'cold shower' my friend!!
FIRE THIS DESIGNER! Please hire someone immediately, a Southwest traditionalist, to rehab this designer's ill, stomach churning & horrific design executions. Totally, a easterners ideas, a metro look, & a New Yorker idea of uses in design to a Southwest theme! It's sickening & totally hideous! Why has this been allowed to wreck & wreaked havoc on our great Southwest style & with a DH! Why? It's the southwest! This is not a Eastern meto/retro art gallery with this over the top motifs! Why does history have to repeat itself, over & over again, with this crap being brought in from back east? Why ruin all these great home features inside with this horrible in your face look, feel, removing the Southwest theme! This is a horrible performance/rendition totally & absolutely only becomes Acceptable due to it being won & a gift! Not any DH anyone was imagining, it's hideous & way too modern for this stucture & application!
I absolutely love DH2010. I haven't felt as strongly about a DH since 2002 or whatever year was in St Michael's, Maryland. This version in New Mexico is THE BEST ONE YET. Okay I admit, I love the Southwest and the beauty of the desert, and I live in New York City, and appreciate urban design. Criticize DH2010 if it doesn't meet your 'country' style expectations, and you are correct to point out that it isn't traditional pueblo design. But to millions of people, this is a true dream home.
Dear Gail: Thank you for yet another informative post! Please give Jack a personal thank you from all of us at 'DreamLand' for his passion for green living. I think if is fabulous that green living is spilling over to dream living!! And, I am loving the idea of not having an electric bill! WOW!! The savings might help pay some of the taxes?
Regarding the drought tolerant plants, will HGTV be planting Toyon, Juniper, Contoneaster, Rosemary shrubs, Indian Hawthorn, and Bottlebrush? They all require little or no supplemental watering after they are established, and certainly are beautiful!!! I especially love the Indian Hawthorn with its decorative pink flowers, and who could resist having Toyon in the yard with those lovely 'Christmas berrijes'? Tis the season to be jolly!!! Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!!
Good Luck winner, I'm feeling for you! I'm so sorry with this DH2010! Well you can't win everytime, but at least it's a mortgage free place & that's the only caveat with having to use monies to pay for refurbishing this horrible New York's designers idea of the Great Southwest!
What scary, due to what is forecasted thus far with this crappy design details is there is more to be done and to come yet!
UNnatural appendages that do not bring any glory, comfort, or even remotely apply to this Southwest home! I CANNOT stress enough, why build this style of a home here & wreck it with this modern approach design application?
Hideous details-No pueblo, no indian pueblo, no home in the Southwest ever looks like this mess inside except as a New York stylized apartment with a Southwest theme as it's applied here! I'm so sorry to see this approach, approved & applied as acceptable!
I'm really feeling sorry all this beauty built is lost to a modern/retro theme! Retro wind turbine looking ceiling fans, wood headers that are recessed (no wood header over master bedroom doorway). Now, baseboards that are dark & plastic look alikes with incorporating a commercial gas station bathroom application is just to pitiful! A boxed in beige awful looking fabric double lamp shade giving way to what a child made with construction paper on a good day! I can go on…this DH2010 is attempting to remove all inspirational Southwest attributes inside! WHY! Lost is the Southwestern grace with applying a design to a completely uncomfortable dysfunction, destruction & incompatible elements to our great Southwest built DH! It's trashy & raunchy as applied!
So ironic, the outside claims all the right stuff & the inside is absolutely appalling! Please do modifications before your great big reveal of this DH2010 to the world as it is, please fix this dysfunctional mess. Has great guts as built: wood ceilings/beams, wood floors & hanging pendant globes & that is it! Pitiful design details! Do not destroy this great structure further as forecasting!
Organic when applied to architecture is referencing form "free form" not the material exclusively…
a tree, stone, is organic…this lamp shade is NOT organic by any means…man made materials are not organic!
Where is the transition from eloquent design details outside to transition this interior design blundering scheme? Hello! Are you trying to win some kind of award for how many design mistakes you can make?
Scale is so off here! Scope is off scale…no transitions, no quality details, without overkill! DO MORE homework on the Southwest please! Take out the novel junglest, contemporary crud they are trying to sell as Pueblo, highend Southwest!
I have a list of architects & design professionals that will, can give mastery & aid to this terrible blunderings you've got going on here!
I'm hoping for some real inside information, along with some great online photos, MARY, coming soon to the Dream Home blog. We can't wait until 14 December for the launch of the virtual tour. Certainly a little peek to whet our appetites won't spoil the unveiling….
What does Linda Woodrum have up her designer sleeves this year? It's bound to be colorful, casual, and so very creative.
Happy Turquoise Trails and Sleepy Hollow Tales!
Mary, you share details at the exact right moment! I noted in my blog several days back that I saw the solar panels on the roof. Then you come on and tell about the awesome advantages and all the cost saving and economic values of these new systems! You are too cool!! I keep track on this website every single day. FORGET PFG!! I am overwhelmed with the style and panache this home offers. Can't wait to move in. Clothes and toothbrush are ready and waiting!
some great ideas.

WOW!! I totally love this house. I dream of winning it for my family, it would be perfect for us!! Here in Florida my electric bill runs $250/$300 per month. We live on a fixed income & that would be a very welcome respite!!!!!!
Thanks for your wonderful comments once again, Gail — you are always so refreshingly upbeat and enthusiastic! Can't wait for your comments and pics after visiting the Dream House! If you can, take some pictures of and comment on the feral horse population there — I'd love to see them.
P.S. Good gracious, PDF, calm down! The beauty of the Dream House is that, if it becomes yours, you are free to change anything you do not like!
Oops, Sorry, I meant PFG!
Professional honesty is good…expressed what that casita tile forces in with on lookers. Funny how poor art creates negative effects
DB Coop: Great observation! Agreed! Horizontals is the key component, so missing in all their want to be recognized approach here…so miserably missing. The two windows in this casita tile wall photo stick out like two anguished embittered eyeballs with too much heavy black eyeliner around them & on baseboards. Taking in this view completely gives off hostile overtures with doom, gloom, impending disaster trying to smother…too uncomfortable & blood burgundy walls to really press in anger ideology. Too harsh just to be around it, or be a guest casita. Not good feelings to succomb, propagate, model, or emulate!. Art is quite amazing…illusions & eluding to inhospitable emotions just are not good. Why do that to a great space?
In our panel, we could only assess this significant conclusion to this designers methodology: The overall plan for the casita's visual effects was to induce departure…guests do not overstay their welcome. The remainder of the interior space more of the same, with leaving homes interior to enjoy life outside & a good thing!
Dear PFG: I like the idea that you are a Positive, Fun & Great person. And, we can all take your advice about just simply trying to be better daily. I can read between your lines and see that you applaud kindness, and most of all, adore & have passion for design in all it's attributes! I must say that these words are in your Intense Profile, right?
Absolutely! Thank you…trying to be better daily, not perfect, as I'm not, but better.
I think it looks great and would feel lucky to be able to call this my home. With the four of us in my family, would love a tankless water system (ahhh, endless hot showers for everyone…)
Hey, Mary. I just reviewed the time-lapse photos to view only the progress on the landscaping. It appears that they seeded then put straw on top. Is that the case? Also saw in several of the photos that there appears to be shades on the windows. Is that just for paint protection, or are they up for real? I feel like Sherlock Holmes searching for clues!! Everytime I look I find things I didn't see before and it makes me even more excited to see some detail photos. Soon, soon. Has anybody else noted things of importance that they should pass on? The snow photos intensified the drama of this beautiful home in the mountains. Glad to see that there are truly 4 seasons in this area. Keep up the great work of making us crave even more details! thank you
I finally figured out how to sign on to this site. I've been posting but not like others. Anyway, I'm ready to roll on out to NM and try to determine where this home is.
Good Luck, you'll need probably need binoculars & or long range lenses as it will be cut off with no access as I have heard from others that live there & as posted from others from attempts to see it? Only relaying info here on this, so really good luck to your attempt.
@Irish387: The home is likely in Phase 2 of the San Pedro Overlook, on Site 87. That was our best guess a few months back, anyway.
I was thrilled by some of the photos on the Pro site showing the kitchen and some of the outdoor features. Like so many others here on the blogs, I'm really enjoying how we're being allowed in to watch the progress of the home. I can't wait to light up one of the outdoor fireplaces and watch the sunset over the Sandia mountains!
I really to wish the 'community' at San Pedro Overlook would update their web page. I'm sure things have changed at least a little since 2006. I'd love to see some of the other homes in this area. Just want to make sure we'll fit right in! (Isn't everybody thinking that?)
I've tried the link a few times for the party fave, scapes and voting on but with no prevail, unable to open and view. Oh finally, well it's unavailable now but I did try finding it a week ago.
Can't wait to see more photos.
Has anyone noticed the metal sculpture just to the right of the house on the webcam. Or the other metal sculpture that showed for a day on the master bedroom patio. Interesting!
I believe the sculpture to the right by the master bedroom appeared around Oct 22. There are some clearer images of it soon after it appeared. The latest web cam photo doesn't show it clearly because of the lighting.
Thank you for pointing that out! I hadn't noticed it before. It's large enough that it shouldn't have gone unnoticed. Nice dancer. Now THAT is definitely southwestern.
Gail, thank you again for your wonderful updates!!! I love that they implemented the solar panels!!!! And the blown in foam is the only way to help with that summer sun in the Southwest!! Great Job!! I can't wait to find out more on the tankless water heater and broiler. And Gail, you look great…..love the long hair (it grows so fast!!) I am so glad that drought tolerant and native plants were used.. It is great that Jack incorporated green innovations in the Dream Home!! Maybe it will motivate other builders to do the same, out of respect for our environment and the families that will live in those homes.. Sorry to hear that PFG is not so happy with the home.. but, you can still enter and if you win, sell it… or enter for the Green Home!! Every year the homes are different and some love them and some don't…that's life, right?? But, the members of HGTV work very hard to find the location, design the home, have it built, handle the landscape, research new technology and complete the interior design!! And every year they surprise us and make us all want to live in those homes!!! They would never be able able to make everyone happy,,,, but, some how they grab the majority of us!!! I'm with you Coop, I can't wait to see what Linda has up her sleeves!!! Marie, you are always so kind!!! Love life by living green!!!
Hi reneelovesgreen: Nice to hear from you, and good advice for PFG! My heart belongs on the ocean, but let me tell you, I'm starting to really like this adobe abode in the land of enchantment. I can hardly wait until the furnishings are revealed. I'm sure Linda will do her usual outstanding decor for our high desert palace. Maybe a few knotted rugs, printed linens, lucious sand wallpaper; and to top it off, some simple 'Ashley Hicks' furniture! WOW!!
Hello,
It's so positive that we are afforded this quorum here. It gives immediate feedback of what they are trying to sell to us as they are the suppliers & manufacturers documenting/listening to us as the clients. We are the focus, we are marketed & a targeted quorum, as we are all the vital all important clients they must have. It's all about consumer & marketing affairs here. As you & I, let it be known in this forum, of our global immediate feedbacks on what we like & don’t like. It's all done for their claiming this info we provide for research, knowledge & power on their return on $$$. Iinvesting manufacturers, corporations & businesses monies = expenses spent for all these sites, promotions, employees on products delineated on the bigger return of more $$$ with consumerism, right?
As I see it, it’s all of our jobs, as suppliers & as a client; that we must be prudent, vigilant, be professionally critical & brutally honest sometimes, on our appreciation or of the direct opposite, in the latter. All of us here, are a quorum, marketed for feedback, & it’s immediate feedback attempted to be obtained. We have a say & we get to be heard of what we will surely see in our futures with what is produced. How, function, costs, & so on with all products used, made, marketed, & sold to us. We are heard directly up the chain in this marketed group from day one from demographics to our lovely positive opinions.
This is why I’m here, to be better everyday, I want a voice to what is being marketed to me, as a supplier, a client, & shortly a manufacturer of these types of products. I’m not always at my best with communications, at every moment or in written words, but strive to be better than the last time I executed it.
We all like a freebie, if possible. I do also, strive for integrity, loyalty & sincerity. If voicing my written words here keeps me from a freebie, than it clearly was not my destiny. Your appreciation, dislikes should voiced here, we are the all important quorum…the client.
Yes, Marie, I could have been more positive in my approach, absolutely.
Choices…as I let this expectation I was hoping & waiting for come forth, then witness a poorly executed design was so not part of what I have seen with previous DH. My goal was not to offend, but have a positive active voice.
Irish387: Try a search engine for home builders in NM or try a site for this custom highend home builder, Panorama Homes. Just because they are selling it, does not make it likeable. It's only what's being promoted lately. It's how all things change, but this site has a nice gallery layout to witness one of ways how this new trendy trend of Southwest contemporary/modern approaches are fed into the great Southwestern home/environments. You'll get a good perspective of what is being marketed as high end $$$ here for the last few years. It all changes, what's hot, & hoping for your spin to be fashionable tomorrow. What designers jump to, into, for work from clients. What manufacturers are making for suppliers to sell to clients/us. What suppliers are telecasting to manufacturers. All comes from the vocal & buying clients.
Would it be possible to decorate the house for Christmas and add it to one of your Christmas decor shows this year? You'd only have to do the main living spaces and it would be great for the winner to have Christmas decor already stored up and ready for next year. New mexico has some great holiday traditions to highlight and "how would we decorate for Christmas?" is usually the first question everybody asks themselves when they go looking at designer homes.
Skillful designed environments have links like ebb & flow, compression & openness, unifications & fluid transitions, warmth & hospitable, inspirational & spirited, efficient & function, yet all being comfortable & enriching.
If it’s becomes known, I am going astray, into a wrong direction from my client, than my choices are…change, modify & lastly try a new approach. Choices are always a choice…remit & submit!
The big picture is all too important not to do so.
From hot marketed trends & from first award won, it became/becomes widely marketed & promoted as such. Architects, designers, developers & corporations (I’m going to call them the ADDC) have to jump, as they must, trying to make their mark for $$$ with products into their designs. Bringing in clients for work that replicates to $$$. This is how this process works.
PFG, you seem to have nothing positive to say about the DH. Are you still hanging around just to share your ill feelings? I don't really understand the specifics of what you are trying to say. Be precise; don't ramble, please. I, personally, think the architect, builder, landscaper and designer have worked really hard to get the epitome of the southwest into this home. I absolutely love the style and can't wait to see more in the finished inside! It really is okay to update and modernize the old southwest theme here. It adds a dramatic touch.
Absolutely they work hard, builders, landscapers, this I do know. As my previous postings state, there is superb guts & bones, which in this industry…a sound structural building. To bring on & forth the finer details, dressings, adornments, along with the color palettes.
Sometimes, little is better, more is just more & pushes past the comfortable scope of look & feel. Another use of industry terms.
Now, there is lots to appreciate here, but not so much with a few, a big visual & very noticeable few, that you seem to be concentrating in on.
Some of us have seen many, many trends come and go…I sway more from obviously, another place, time & with on the traditionalist side. No, I'm not saying it must be old style, either, just a much better blending.
This feedback is not personal, it is work, a work in progress.
Hot marketed trends & from a first award won, it became/becomes more widely marketed & promoted as such, the big circle in the spin. Architects, designers, developers & suppliers (I’m going to call them the ADDS) have to jump, as they must capture it. Trying to make their mark for $$$ with their being on top of the game in this circle/spin. Selling & bringing in clients, replicates to $$$. Manufacturers need & use the ADDS & prolifically solicit, woo, provide many kinds of kickbacks (often freebies) to the ADDS. (Sad to say-kickbacks are crucial as they have great tendency to sway with their products being used/known & lead into loyalties) Again, another sad element…same process as with our politicians as they are shown how to & it becomes the politicians job/performance on how to hide it) While being spoon fed by manufacturers, our ADDS use, incorporate promoted products. We are & given a voice, the all too important focus…we are the client & the real goings on here. This is a real useable place, believe it!
The house is looking more and more awesome with each reveal…
Keep up the good work!
Marie Miller: Your kind words of encouragement to PFG seems to have calmed him down quite a bit and I congratulate you both.
HGTV described the DH10 as a 3,900 sq. ft. Contemporary Pueblo style home, that will mix southwestern architecture with modern design. We have been given tantalizing glimpses along the way (though I can't find any of the mysterious water feature) and I could comment now on some I like and some I feel fall far short. But we have yet to see Linda W. work her magic, so I have decided (hope I can keep this promise, but probably won't) to wait until I see the Dec. 14th reveal. One thing is certain. This is a unique home in a spectacular location. Thanks HGTV.
PFG: Sorry, should have said him/her. Such interest in $$$. Is profit so important to you?
Supply & demand…as it's just big business. Open your eyes, from your known knowledge to a much bigger range. Simple as it is, as I have wrote today…why do you think this blog exists? It's all about advertising, marketing & consumerism. This is these peoples jobs to sell to us. They do it well. Do you really think these people would keep their jobs if not able to sell & sell products well?
Again, comments administered are far from personal & should be on all counts.
This is a forum of documented infomation on products as portrayed & being promoted for feedback clearly & simply. Yes, people are suppose express it here, good with the bad & that is the real view from the bigger picture, as it's not personal by any means.
I can't believe Jack chose a DESERT location for a Dream Home! Gee, my hot flashes keep me warm enough…..I hope that a pool will be included to cool off! I'm happy to see bloggers from last year! It's good to hear from Katydid,Coop, and Marie Miller.I'm anxious to see more of this desert home!
Lucky Lady a.k.a.Illinois Nancy
LUcky Ladt: Nice hearing from you! I had to get use to the idea of a desert location also, but this is truly a Dream Home with the surrounding mountain views, it is breath-taking!!
PFG, come on… This is a site to discuss the wonderful possibilities of winning a home that most of us could never create, concept, design and build. This is a site for honesty as you mentioned, but most of us like to up lift one another and have a little dream. There have always been those who enjoy blogging and some who are very negative; prompting HGTV to allow Intensedebate to manage and protect the comments and bloggers here. You are a very intelligent person and I understand some of your points, but many of them are not even relevant to this forum. We are mainly a group who enjoy sharing, discussing likes and dislikes and uplifting one another. We do discuss the technical details, decor, construction and persons involved in the Dream Home and Green Home, but keep it positive, even if we do not like certain details. We all understand that their will be several companies involved in supporting HGTV with the completion of the homes and that they benefit with their advertisements and donations, etc. Because we are free Americans, we all have the right to like, dislike and speak our minds regarding the Dream Home, Green Home and those involved in the projects. It is a wonderful life. I have been with HGTV for 11 years and have watched many homes start from a floor plan and then turn into an amazing and envious Dream Home!!!! I haven't loved every detail of every one of them, but would have loved to win anyone of them and live in many of them. My main excitement and enjoyment comes from those involved from the concept to the completion of the Dream Homes and Green Homes. So much goes into this process. I do understand you concern of the builder going so modern for a southwest style home, and some of us would have preferred a true adobe home. But, there are too many people with different views to please all. If I won, I would replace the modern ceiling fan… and maybe a few other items. I respect all of the hard work, multiple hours and creativity that has been put into this home. So, my main point, is that I think that you are getting a little too deep for any of us to enjoy your input. I am with Marie, I am an ocean person and just left the desert this Summer…..so, I will cross my fingers to win the Green Home!!!!!! But, will not give up on the Dream Home…. I will enter daily and if I win, I will live in it for a few months….. Maybe, have a wonderful, white Christmas!!!!!! Maybe, keep it as a second home… I will keep it positive and keep dreaming!!! And love the friendships made here!!!! I can't wait to see what Linda puts in the Dream Home… I am thinking beautiful rugs, soft, luxurious couches and chairs, dark, aged wood furniture and lots of throw blankets to snuggle in front of the fires!!!! Thank you Jack for another outstanding and surprising build and location!! Love life by living green!!
Exactly…blogging, not personal blogs…a complete mixture of peoples ideas, thoughts on products, designs, usages & their choice to blog with feedback in guidelines as given. This forum is blogging feedback. Let it go, let it go where it goes, not a personal blog, reneelovesgreen. They do great works & do good things for people.
Now, some of us have a real connection to this history….honoring is 1 of them. If being more of a traditionalist is 2 harsh…my choice. Most is excellent, just a few hiccups, very startling! Dreaming of it fixed as I did passionately state. Why go to this place of…do as I say, not as I do? Express like I do? Hypocrital? Yes, some can/some cannot blog, if not your way. Mmmm, a little exclusive, don't u think? Did I sign into another blog? U put a lot of effort into this, little possessiveness, maybe? Want to win? Good luck, wow! Diversity, step up into words spoken, do let others convey as u vividly express blogging. Here's a simple positive analogy: Try to open your eyes a smidge wider 2 this kind of corporate web hosting/web businesses: It's kind of like having a vision test. When the eye Dr. asks u which lens is better & which one is not? U respond, (feedback). Then the eye Dr. might ask u again on the next series of lenses offered 4 your review, again, u respond (feedback) as which 1 is better 4 U? So, at the end of the exam., u get the right results 4 u on that date/time. That's feedback.
You must be an employee as your around for years, able to write a book as a blog entry at one time. Mmmmm.
A blog for more or less on particular days?
It was a blog entry, my expression on hoping not to see more of this that we have yet to see. Yes, great building and great that it's to be given away to a lucky person or family.
Conspired to get more real input other than superficial ones on this house. Dreaming & expressing for it to be fixed, can they, sure, will they, maybe, who knows? Real expressions on elements is a good things. My tastes, cannot be yours, we learn from taking in info, trying new things, some work, some don't. I personally would like to see a whole new approach with tiles. Horizontal, like an Indian rug, maybe, wall dressings but with several strips & or maybe several varying strips in widths, maybe with traditional Indian articulations. Lots of ways, so many for here, framed in pictures used universally.
Lot of good donations, for building great & good wood works.
reneelovesgreen: You said it all. Amen, and amen again. I echo your thoughts. What friendships we've made.!
Hi I wrote a couple of responses but have not found them on the blog. Maybe this also will not be on there.
I love seeing the progress also, but have to agree: the interior is looking more like a gallery than a home– a design can have clean lines but not seem cold. I would hope we might see all the hard edges balanced by some rounded forms…at least a Kiva dog house?
At this point the interior is looking pretty cold, and I would have to make some changes were I to win. I am grateful that Linda W. is still the decorator! Linda, just do what you do best, and don't feel pressure to be "edgy"… the design is edgy enough so far.
Sound great.
I am planning on taking a trip this december, but im not sure where yet.
Anny suggestions?
