Every year, during our online photo shoot, photographer Eric Perry snaps hundreds of images that never make their way into the virtual home tour. This year, for the first time ever, we’ve gathered those outtakes (64, to be exact) in a photo-driven slideshow. From still life photos to landscape portraits, you’ll experience everything that makes this year’s HGTV Dream Home so spectacular. Enjoy!

Today, I invite you to join our Super Fan for an exclusive exploration of the Changing Room, a space designed by house planner Jack Thomasson. This special hub connects indoor to outdoor spaces and pays tribute to the fine art of fly fishing. Enjoy!

Today, I am pleased to offer a video from our Super Fan, who takes time to explore the amazing HGTV Dream Home 2012 laundry room. I, for one, could not imagine having all that storage space — and travertine floors, to boot!

In other news, we’re almost ready to make an announcement about public home tours. Stay tuned for dates and times.

Hi all,

I hope you are having a lovely day — and remembering to enter twice daily! I was clicking through the virtual home tour slideshows today and stopped when I came upon the Entertainment Deck. For a split second, I could almost hear the soothing sound of the Provo, as it meanders through the valley. That’s one of my fondest recollections of this year’s home: Lounging on one of the back decks and enjoying the sounds of nature.

Today, I invite you to watch a series of vlogs our Super Fan has created for your enjoyment. In one I find particularly compelling, she walks the path that connects the home to the river. That Gail! She doesn’t miss a beat!

Happy New Year! I hope you are enjoying this holiday weekend with family and friends. I have this fantastic feeling that 2012 will be an amazing year — and that someone’s life will change forever (all for the better) when he or she becomes the proud owner of HGTV Dream Home 2012.

While you are relaxing and sipping the last drops of champagne, make plans to watch our HGTV Dream Home 2012 special, which premieres on January 2 at 1 p.m. ET. And if you missed its premiere on DIY Network, our Behind the Build special will air again on HGTV; mark your calendar for January 8 at 11 a.m. ET.

The moment has arrived: Today marks the beginning of the HGTV Dream Home 2012 Giveaway entry period. Sign up for our email reminder to enter twice per day — once on HGTV.com and once on Frontdoor.com.

And don’t forget to take the virtual home tour, watch our exclusive video series starring designer Brian Patrick Flynn, visit Frontdoor.com to explore the neighborhood and visit HGTVRemodels.com to learn more about the construction of this amazing modern rustic ranch home.

Good luck to you all. We are celebrating the launch of the giveaway with a special HGTV Dream Home breakfast prepared by our very own interactive planning director, Jeannine Shipp. She won’t share the recipe for her spectacular egg casserole, even though we beg and plead for it each year when we spot her insulated casserole carrier heading in our direction. Maybe you folks can nudge it out of her?

The HGTV Dream Home 2012 Giveaway entry period begins at 9 a.m. on December 29 and runs through February 17, 2012, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Will you remember to enter twice per day? Probably not. We know: Life, commitments and craziness sometimes get in the way, and we certainly don’t want you scribbling reminder notes on your hands or scrambling around to find scraps of yarn to wrap around your finger (although that would be really funny).

Let us help. This year, for the first time ever, we’re sending out daily email reminders. Sign up now and every day you will receive a cheery little note in your inbox.

Exciting news: We just launched a Best of HGTV Dream Homes Past app on iTunes. We’re sharing navigable floor plans, slideshows, virtual tours and videos of homes from 2007 to 2011 in a striking magazine-style experience.

Lovers of HGTV Dream Home, download the app today and, please, let us know what you think.
