Introducing... The 2009 HGTV Dream Home!

Every year, the Home and Garden Network (HGTV) gives away an amazing prize package including a fully furnished dream house in a beautiful location, a vehicle, and much, much more.

This year's HGTV dream home is located in Sonoma, California.

I don't know about you, but every year I look forward to seeing the new Dream Home, and entering to win!

My favorite so far is still the very first dream home in Jackson Hole, WY, but after seeing the newest dream home I think Sonoma might win me over!

Congratulations! 

Well, unfortunately, I didn't win the 2009 HGTV Dream Home :(

The lucky winners were Cheryl and Joe Smith. You can see a video of HGTV surprising Cheryl with the news here.

Congratulations Cheryl and Joe! Can I come visit your new dream home?

About This Year's Home 

This year's dream home is set in the Wine Country of Sonoma, California. The 3,600 square-foot farmhouse is designed to be ideal for entertaining friends and family with spacious interior rooms and outdoor living areas.

The Dream Home is located on a corner lot and it boasts a beautiful wrap-around front porch. You can see the house has incredible landscaping, including a paved walkway lined with low evergreen bushes, and seasonal flowers leading up to the porch.

The back yard includes an outdoor kitchen (awesome!) and a patio area designed to enjoy the California Wine Country.

The back yard also includes raised flower and vegetable gardens... and of course, the 2009 Doggie Dream Home.

The Location: Sonoma, California 

The 2009 HGTV Dream Home is set in beautiful Sonoma, California. Sonoma County is famous for its wines, quaint farms, artisan boutiques, and rolling fields surrounded by mountains. The HGTV Dream Home takes full advantage of this gorgeous setting.

Sonoma is located about 40 miles north of San Francisco, and is known as the birthplace of both California and the California wine industry.

Sonoma is nestled between low mountains in the Valley of the Moon, and is filled with wildlife and natural beauty.

Today, Sonoma has a population of about 10,000 and boasts thriving wine and tourism industries, the nationally recognized Sonoma Valley Film Festival and numerous other cultural events.

Check Out the Gorgeous Kitchen! 

The 2009 dream home has a very spacious kitchen designed for entertaining.

Some of the features include:

- two Sub-Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezers

- two spacious islands to work with, as well as ample counter space

- two hidden dishwashers, two wine coolers, a warming tray and a microwave are set into the islands, which reduces the need for wall space in the kitchen

The Master Bedroom 

The master bedroom has large windows, a chandelier, and lots of lighting in the room.

The designer chose a bold green for the room (not my favorite for a bedroom), but it seems to work with the white furnishings and accents.

The story behind the green color is kind of interesting... According to decorator Linda Thompson: "I really felt a connection to the trees outside," she says of her inspiration for the color choice. "You feel like you are up in the treetops in this room. It is very peaceful and serene."

The bed is a beautiful floor to ceiling canopy which is absolutely gorgeous (and very romantic).

The master bedroom also has a sitting area with floor to ceiling windows... a great place to get lost in a good book!
