We are not in harms way. The fires are not near us, but today the smoke is really thick again and visibility is greatly reduced. No wind here. We are heartbroken for those who have been impacted by this firestorm. We are incredibly blessed to have selfless men and women who rush in to protect the land and homes of others.  Sun, 23 Aug 2015 21:30:04 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/sweepstakes/2015/06/12/where-are-we-headed-for-hgtv-dream-home-2016/#IDComment991785489 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2015/08/14/gimme-gimme-giveaway-bath-crashers-swag/#IDComment990410150 My favorite design feature of the Master Bath is the treated cedar ceiling. Its finish wonderfully ties together the great mix of tiles and the rustic, industrial and new decor features.

It is a great design focal point without detracting from the lovely views of the lake outside the gorgeous wall of windows.

History and art combined! A very close second is the set of frames on the pulley system that link the upstairs and downstairs. Left open, the frames make a real statement-industrial chic! Both choices are a great example of simple DIY projects that can be reproduced by nearly any one!

Interesting and unique!

Under Design and Decorate there is a link to Urban Oasis and then to the right of that is Smart Home and Dream Home. Dream Home can also be found on main page right lower under Catch Up on Our Blogs-Dreams Happen. Not as streamlined as possible but once location is found it's easy.

How exciting that would be! I'm thinking that DeerSpring may have already found the location of Ventura, CA. (She is amazing!) Meanwhile...I'm lost here. I can't seem to find the SH and UO blogs anywhere! Anyone else having that trouble- or best of all- have hints to get me to them?

To get the evening going or for a great after dinner drink head out to Half Step! It's located at 75 1/2 Rainey Street. Half Step has incredible craft cocktails as evidenced by its nomination as a finalist in the Best New American Cocktail Bar Category for the Eighth Annual Spirited Awards! You'll be glad you checked them out and will want to return again and again! Delicious and fun!

It looks like the perfect place for family and friends to come together and unwind and enjoy each other! For some real relaxation I love the MB tub! I could soak away some real stress there!

I'm with you...Road trips with the music blaring, my husband always asks me to name the band or give the song title. most times I'm wrong-but I can usually sing along word for word and mostly in tune! :-) Road trips are always better with good music!

Storage, storage and more storage! Storage of all kind: for hanging clothes, folded clothes, damp clothes, cleaning supplies, paper goods, pet supplies. (How about a place to "launder" the pets? My big dog gets plenty dirty year round and out door clean up is just too cold for us both!)) And while I'm dreaming big, how about a live in elf to handle the litter box? Now that's a fantasy! :-) Mon, 27 Apr 2015 20:24:12 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/sweepstakes/2015/04/27/whats-in-your-fantasy-laundry-room/#IDComment967140663 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2015/04/27/whats-alison-victoria-doing-at-blog-cabin-2015/#IDComment967127176 Excited to see the finished table and stools that were talked about in the hangout!
