Last week, I met Cindy Hattersley and Pat Huber in Napa, California to tour the Traditional Home Show House.  This is the second year they have let me tag along on their little adventure.Thanks, guys!
Can you see the grape vines in the background"This is in the heart of the wine country.Here are my favorite highlights of the home (Pat took some of the photos and Cindy is going to publish her favorite highlights on Friday).
This wine closet is not planked but actually wallpapered.
These are beautiful Roman shades in the living room looking down from the second floorwhere the master bedroom is located.In the master bedroom, notice how the colors mimic the shades outside"
I've been looking at "antiqued" rugs lately and thought this one in the master bathroom was pretty.There was one problem...they were still working on the bathroom!In fact, in many parts of the house, tile wasn't grouted and the guest house wasn't finished at all!This happened last year, too, when we toured the show house and the kitchen wasn't completely ready.Seems this is more like real life (delays, permit problems, etc.)instead of the HGTV shows that I love where it all comes together quickly and/or in the nick of time!Come on in to the part of the house that Cindy, Pat and I liked best.  There was so much light 
(even on a rainy day like we had)...
