HGTV: Time to vote!

Posted in HGTV, Misc on March 07, 2011

UPDATE: For those of who who said the link wasn’t working, it is now. : )

Our plea video and voting options have been posted! Eeeeek! I am sooo excited!

First: Now, I know I’ve already said it, but seriously I am SO embarrassed that our most personal space (our bedroom) and our CLOSETS are exposed for all to see. Seriously, imagine your bedroom and closets being posted in a video online today. Eeeeeek! I seriously don’t think I ever thought it through.

(and, yes, we keep Chili’s dog food in the shoe closet because we’re classy like that.)

Second: The HGTV design team did a fantastic job because out of the 27 options only three are we not crazy about. All 24 others we liked a whole whole bunch. High five!

Click here to watch our plea video. Next, click the picture of the bedding to the left of our plea video to vote.  You can vote up to 9 times a day and, if I’m not mistaken, our voting options will be up for a week. Eeeeeeek!

Here are the options and here are our thoughts (in case you’re curious :0) :

tile

We like all three for different reasons. It’s hard to decide on a favorite because it’s tough picturing an entire bathroom from a small square. we trust America to pick.

lightingAgain, we like them all. My first reaction jumped at the top one, but with time the second one has grown on me (nothing wrong with a good pendant light, you know?). And, of course the third one is just classic. You pick. :)

faucetsThey’re all cool in their own little way. We think we like the second one best, but again – HGTV gave us three great options. You pick. : )

rugsIn the rug department we were hoping for something with a bit more color, but we trust they have an overall design plan in mind. With these three we most definitely like the top one best. Here’s a pic of it larger:

rug

floorsOemG! Can you believe these floors?! They’re the floors I’VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF! The bumpy kind! So so delicious. Yum!  We like the first and third option, but honestly we would be over the moon for any of them.

headboardI would never think of a tufted headboard for us, but we are all up for something fresh and new. Having said that, we’re pretty undecided with the options. Here are pics I’ve found online of the two different styles:

tuftedYou pick. : )

paintNot crazy at all about the third option. The other two I would welcome into my sweet space any day!

Here they are in a room (from Valspar’s website):

drizzlingmist2(Option 1 – Drizzling Mist)

hazy-status(Option 2 – Hazy Status)

bedding

All day today I kept swooning over the top option, but then when I went hunting for it over at Crate and Barrel to show you all the bigger picture I found option #2 over there, too. And, guess what – it’s TONS better when you can see all of it! I am all over that brown fading into blue.

So, now I’m all torn. The first or the second option … hmmmm … ?

Here they are bigger:

Option 1 (found here):

beddingOption 2 (found here):

I think I’m kind of leaning toward option #2. What do you think?

giftLove that chunky hand-knit throw from Pottery Barn, but a gift is a gift. You pick!

I would love to know your thoughts on our options, sweet readers. Impressed, unimpressed, any thing surprise you, anything make you swoon or say “yuck”?

p.s. The video totally makes me giggle because I totally over-enunciated. Also, Corey and I have both since gotten haircuts (me getting quite a bit of my hair chopped off) and we are so glad we did. We look like ragamuffins (me with a fluffy pony-poof).

    Great choices! I’m thinking the rugs are style options and not color options! So excited for you!!

    Oh, and we just painted our bedroom gray, much like the Hazy Status. And we LOVE it :)

    I voted before I read this. :-) I did really well! :-) I’ll email you and give you details tomorrow on my picks!! And I saw that I can vote 10 times a day???? Did I read that correctly. Obviously I probably don’t have time to do that, but wow if it’s true. xoxo

  • Amanda M.

    First I must say…I am stealing the OemG! :) And I am going to have a tough time voting, these are some awesome choices! I’m going to watch your video before I start voting! This is so exciting! :)

    For some reason, the link you posted is taking me to your old blog?? Guess it’s only me because everyone else seems to have been able to vote. Bummer.

  • Melissa

    This is so fun! Your link takes me to the Chili post though :) I’m going to go and see if I can track it down on the HGTV website.

  • Ashley Downey

    Ok….so not to toot my own horn, but I’m GOOD! When I voted yesterday I basically picked out everything you all liked without even knowing your preferences! I’m so in tune to other homeowners desires its not even funny. LOL!

  • Emilee

    I am so excited for you! Your bedroom is going to be beautiful! Headed to vote right now…

    Thanks, Mel, for looking out! : ) The link is working now. That’s what I get for writing a blog post waaaaay too tired.

  • admin

    Ash, you should become a professional voter, ha! ; )

  • admin

    Auntie S, Yep, I believe you can vote 9 … or is it 10 …? times a day!

  • admin

    Amy, I have a total love affair with gray. We’re in the process of painting our family room gray. Yum!

  • Lisa Anderson

    Okay I voted…avocado green and mustard yellow all around – even on the shag carpet! hee hee

    I actually voted before seeing your preferences and I have to say I pretty much voted in line what you guys picked.

    GOOD LUCK!

  • Angela

    This is so great – I actually voted yesterday and was thinking you must be dying to share your thoughts! I am in total agreement with you on everything – I voted for the first bedspread (and may have to get one for my room :) ), the middle paint color and I love all the floors, but picked the third. Good luck!!

  • Emily

    LOVE the choices and I think it will all pull together splendidly! As I was finishing your plea video, I noticed that I know two other couples being featured…haha! Looks like I’ll have a new must-see show each week!

    oh gosh jess, i love the options! and yes those wood floors – 1st & 3rd for sure. i love the dark wood. i’ve always wanted a tufted headboard – to me, they’re luxurious. looks like HGTV has done well, my friend. can’t wait to see the finished space! pshhh, and who cares about showing your personal space in it’s current state. so worth it for all of this ;) xo!

  • gina

    ga! all great options! it is going to be SOOO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jen Hyden

    I am so excited for you, your husband and Charley… and can’t wait to watch your upcoming episode on HGTV (which Matt and I love). I justed voted (and agree with your thoughts)!!!

  • http://www.traceylapinphotography.com/blog Tracey Lapin

    how exciting! Just voted, all the way from Oz (can’t seem to watch your plea video though )-: )

    cant wait to see the finished result x

  • caroline mercer

    So glad I checked your post. You can now see what everything actually looks like. You can’t tell from HGTV’s website. Everything is so darn small.
    I really couldn’t tell about the tufted headboard but now that I’ve seen them in a room love the 1st one! Love, love, love the floors. Picked the 3rd just because I was afraid the 1st would be too dark in your room. Love the 1st 2 wall colors. Hard decision but went with the 2nd & yes, I had changed my vote to the 2nd bedding too after reading the full description. I think it’s also better quality. Only liked the 1st rug. So excited for you!!! Can’t wait!!
