Good morning, bloggers!
Whew, what a night. Wasn’t the HGTV Dream Home 2009 Giveaway special great? I am thrilled for our HGTV Dream Home winner. My whole family was glued to the TV for the entire show. I have a few closing thoughts to share. First of all, THANK YOU to my HGTV Dream Home blogging family. It’s funny, but I really do think of you all as friends. I hope the last few months have inspired you to keep dreaming. In many ways, I feel as though I won the HGTV Dream Home because this whole experience has been a dream come true for me. I won’t be active on this blog anymore, but stick around because Mary will be posting updates about the 2010 location.
Second, I hope you will join me on the HGTV Green Home blog as we dream about the gorgeous eco-friendly home in Port St. Lucie, Fla. I am so excited to go behind the scenes and share the inside scoop with you.
Thank you for visiting the blog and posting your inspirational thoughts and questions. Keep dreaming!!
Your Super Fan,
Gail

 HGTV President Jim Samples chooses the winner of HGTV Dream Home 2009 |
On March 3, the bigwigs at HGTV, with help from our friends at a local fulfillment house, gathered to choose one winner from more than 39 million HGTV Dream Home 2009 Giveaway entries we’ve received since January. Our Super Fan was on site to watch as the excitement unfolded and even had the opportunity to choose a runner-up. Keep your eyes peeled for the Super Fan’s in-depth winner-selection video in the next few days. For now, we are happy to share a few cute photos.
And, no, your eyes don’t deceive you — we did make the Super Fan jump into a bin filled with thousands of entry forms.

Good afternoon, bloggers!
Whew — it seems like you all just finished a marathon and now you have to wait to see who won. I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. Will the winner be someone from our blogger “family” who enters every day (and sends in postcards)? Or, do you think it will be the lucky person who happened to enter once? I want to know, I want to know!
Now that you’re free from entering daily, I hope you will spend your time taking the virtual tours and coming up with more questions. I’m ready to answer them.
And just to answer some recent questions:
•The ottoman in the study is a Lewis ottoman by Ethan Allen in a houndstooth fabric. It sits below the clock pictures.
•Also, there is a big storage area in the study and lots of closets and cabinets throughout the house and in the garage.
•Finally, there is no basement in this home. Most of the homes in California do not have basements.
Good luck everyone!
