Were you one of the many millions who watched the HGTV Dream Home 2012? I missed the actual broadcast, but thankfully it will run endlessly throughout the week. I did manage to watch some of the on-line clips. I also scoured the photo's on the HGTV site. I love the architecture.
I thought it would be fun to review the home as "potential DIY projects". Here is my take on all the ideas that could be replicated.
Starting in the great-room; I am a huge fan of ceiling treatments and this board and batten would not be too difficult
framing four large squares of fabric for a grouping
clustering square coffee tables together to make a large custom size one
adding coffee beans around candles
Line a hallway with lanterns and electric candles. I think this would look great as mis-matched ones as well
Add hooks into the bathroom design
Customize a simple framed mirror
by adding nailheads
Make a custom pet bed
Make candle holders from architectural objects
Paint an American Flag on wood. This would be great using pallet boards!
I think that is enough pinterest projects for now. Did you have a favorite? Would you ever replicate any of them?

lovely photos! I need to watch this!
I missed the episode:( A lot of great ideas for projects though!
Oh my I didn't see this ... where have I been??? But these DIY projects you pointed out are terrific. I think I like your version of the show best!!
I love Park City and this house would suit just fine! I guess I need to enter!
I missed it too :( Holidays were hectic. I did manage to record the new season of Sarah's House which I also missed. geesh. So at least I can console myself with her and Tommy's witty banter for the next few days. As for the dream house....The Pet Bed is to die for and I love the Beams. I am recommending faux beams on the ceiling of a modern country House I am decorating. As long a no one touches them (the feel weird & fake)I see them as a great looking and inexpensive option for architectural interest in homes that are not quite as grande as this one.
