Wow! You guys really came through for me yesterday. Thanks for all the great ideas (and helpful links!) for the next Fantasy Open House series. You gave me enough to keep me busy for a few days!
While I start researching houses in those cities and trying to decide which one we should visit next, I [...]
You wouldn’t believe the amount of e-mail I get these days from companies and PR people wanting me to tout one of their products here on Hooked on Houses.
Please, PR people. I do not carry ads on my site and I’m not selling anything. I am not going to hawk your wares for you.
And I [...]
