That would not work for parents of younger children. Obviously the designer has no children. Just a thought for the future designers.

I am finally in a position to win and keep as a vacation home and I would hate to see that possibility go away. Whew! All of my daydreaming would be for nothing. Hope everyone else is well from the storm as well.

Sort of.

A Penalty box shower, hockey stick towel holders, puck shaped soaps, goal light everytime you flush the toilet, whistle everytime the seat is left up, white apoxy floor, goal net hamper, and the tub would be like a soak tub in the locker rooms. My husband and I would love a bathroom like that and I think most hockey fans would too.

I really appreciate the prayers. It is going to be tough going for a while but hopefully it turns out ok.

This is a disaster. I don't know what we are going to do.

I want a tv that I can watch without throwing my neck out of place. Reference the 2010 Blog Cabin tv in the living room. I want a kitchen that my kids can sit in to have cereal before school in the morning while watching cartoons. 2010 Green Home I want functional kids rooms not showcases. - 2010 Toy Story Room in the Dream Home. I want decorations that are easy to dust and walls that are easy to wipe down. Can you imagine dusting a birch tree ornamental wall like in the green home or a cord of sticks like in the 2010 Dream Home? My wants are not luxury items or anything out of the ordinary. I think the interior designer needs to visit real homes prior to decorating this one.

Also, I agree about the redundancy of the bedrooms, great rooms, and bathrooms. It seems that it is the same designer for all of the dream homes, blog cabine and green home and I am really not a fan because I don't believe she has a feel for the common peoples taste.

Well said.

The "what if" that goes around in my head. I love that! Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:18:20 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2011/01/01/enter-the-hgtv-dream-home-2011-giveaway/#IDComment120742935 http://blog.hgtv.com/dreamhome/2011/01/01/enter-the-hgtv-dream-home-2011-giveaway/#IDComment120711441 Wow, is there more naysayers than normal this time around? I think some people miss the concept of this sweepstakes. It is about a dream. A dream of winning something in a world that has been impacted by a bad economy for so long that we can't even let ourselves enjoy it. It is not about the taxes, the HOA fees, utilities, taxes, etc. It is about being the one person out of millions of entries to have that knock on the door to say that "You are the winner". It is not about the home (as beautiful as it is). It is about the cash option for me. I am happy when I win $40 on an instant ticket, so I guess I am an optimist but how can you sit there and ridicule this home.

Please come see me after that. Can't wait! Isn't it great to dream? Days like today are so much less stressful because my mind is racing with dreams!

May these winnings take a little off the pressure off paying for two college loans! Thank you for taking the time to answer the questions. We really appreciate it. Whether you keep it or sell it, you will always have the knowledge that you won this wonderful home. I love the fact that Tony was very reasonable about what the win entails. Some just jump in feet first and do not think it through from all angles. He sounds like he has a great head on his shoulders and a wonderful support system around him, so my guess is that this win will be a blessing for years to come. Congrats again!

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:39:31 +0000 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment106023896 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment106023789 I know. I went with one area as being my one thing. I couldn't help myself. Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:38:50 +0000 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment106023789 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment105986374 I would like to see a dream yard with waterfalls, hammock, ornamental grasses, rocks, and a cabana.

If you could pick one thing you would like to see in or around the next blog cabin, what would it be? Just one so keep the answers short and sweet. Mon, 25 Oct 2010 14:20:42 +0000 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment105985923 http://blog.diynetwork.com/blogcabin/2010/10/04/last-day-to-enter/#IDComment105984924 I just think I would still participate in the blog and answer the questions that I could. I don't see the harm in that. Of course, there could be a confidentiality clause that you must sign and the winners don't want to take chances on saying something wrong. Bloggers would have your address and name anyway. It doesn't take a hacker to find out the rest in this day and age.
