  3. Winner or not – it's been fun keeping up with all the bloggers and super fan info. I think this home and the locale will be a blessing for whomever is the priveleged one! Being part of this has got me dreaming again and has inspired me to do some of the decorating and color changes to my own home. I have a fresh and inspired view of my beloved home now.

  4. How would I spend my luxury day as a winner…Ya know…..like a queen for a day! I own a lawn and pool business and every day that it reaches well over 90 degrees and I'm melting I have a total fantasy about sitting in the tower watching it snow like crazy!! The tower would be the ultimate room for me to just shut down , meditate and be peaceful. Although I love to cook and have often dreamed about a chef 's kitchen. I would spend equal amounts of time in the kitchen preparing great meals for wonderful family and friends. The outdoor kitchen is the most. I would have just as much fun cooking and wine sampling there as well. ;o) I would have to sleep in every room (once or twice) and soak in the biggest bubble bath you could imagine. After a long day of living the dream I would grab a glass of my favorite bubbly and watch my favorite movie on the awesome home theatre. Ahhh, makes you wonder what the people in Florida are doing…..not!! It starts with a dream. Help me I'm melting………..Terry in Florida

  11. The "this should be interesting" comment about the state sounds
    like the person could live in Hawaii or Alaska. . .

  16. From what I read in the fine print, the winner was to be notified between June 20-23rd. So, the winner already knows. Sadly it wasn’t me :-(

  19. I don't want to know before hand if it's a mail in or internet entry that would dash the hopes of the bloggers or mailers before the big reveal. Thanks for not telling.God Bless and good luck everyone.It's tonight so excited.

  22. When she recorded this video, remember that it was prior to the 10th (before they actually picked the winner) <SPAN class=idc-smiley><SPAN style="BACKGROUND-POSITION: 0pt 0pt"><SPAN>:)</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>

  27. How exciting. I love the Dream home. It's really magnificent! Congratulations to whoever wins!! I wonder if Jim Samples has ever been to Louisiana. =)

  28. Very interesting to hear the process of how they organize and select the winner. Sounds like the odds are worse than a lottery ticket, and I have absolutely no luck at all with that. Oh well. Maybe this will be it. My husband and I are so ready for a change. Would be great to retire early and move to a place that we fell in love with 3 years ago. Stowe is so beautiful and the kids would just love it! My son's heart is set on attending college somewhere up north. I think this would suit him just fine. Can't wait to hear who wins. How exciting!

    Stoweflakes on March 5, 2011 at 8:44 pm
  29. I can't wait i hope i win, i picture myself with my husband and kids in the house already. I picture my family visiting lol, everyday i go on hgtv.com to look at the house that's how much i love it,everything is just so gorgeous compliments to the designers great job guys….i pray every night to win this house lol

  30. Well I hope the place your CEO has never been is San Luis Obispo, CA. Good Luck everyone!! Just love HGTV and all of your shows.

    SanLuisGal on March 9, 2011 at 7:59 pm
