HGTV

While traveling to Georgia to tour the 2012 HGTV Green Home, I was lucky enough to experience The Inn at Serenbe. Out of the 1,000 acres that make up the sustainable community of Serenbe, 30 of those acres are dedicated to organic and biodynamic farming. Nestled in the midst of lush farmland is a gorgeous inn, where friendly animals, aromatic flowers and vegetation, charming accommodations, and scrumptious organic country cooking ease you into the heavenly pace of country living. When I wasn't admiring the interiors of the marvelously restored farmhouse that I stayed in, I was wandering the grounds deciding between leisure activities like afternoon tea, croquet, hiking, swimming, hay riding, or simply bird and animal watching. Of course, I couldn't resist the urge to snap pictures incessantly on my phone, trying to capture the beauty that surrounded me. See which breathtaking spots I uncovered while wandering the inn's grounds. They just might inspire you to experience a farm adventure of your own!

If you missed Saturday's episode of Shop This Room, not to worry! We caught up with HGTV Design Star winner and Shop This Room host, Danielle Colding to get the skinny on her latest transformation. When home owners Niloo and Joe couldn't agree on a design scheme, they called on Danielle to hone in on a personal piece to inspire a fresh look for their space. By finding a balance between Niloo's preference for cool, contemporary interiors and Joe's affinity for natural elements with a warm color palette, Danielle was able to create an inviting space where they could finally feel at home. Keep reading to discover the techniques and shopping destinations Danielle relied on to nail the look, and tune in next Saturday at 8:00 p.m. for a new episode!

In addition to devouring glossies and the web, we design lovers also get our fix from the countless television shows that revolve around the world of interiors. Whether it's in the form of a contest, talk show, or docu-series, we seem to love them all. Or do we? I've rounded up a handful of design-related shows that piqued the interest of decorating enthusiasts in 2011. I want to know which shows you looked forward to tuning into the most. So, browse this gallery for a refresher and vote for your favorite!

Emily Henderson is one of my personal favorite designing ladies for many reasons — two of those being that she's got a great eye and possesses an immediately recognizable, very cool personal style. Plus, you can just tell that she's a really nice person. All of those qualities will jump out at HGTV viewers who tune in tonight to watch HGTV'd.

On this episode, Emily tackles the lackluster, cluttered family room of Steve and John, proud dads of two adopted sons. Their attic-level multipurpose room definitely has potential, but in its current state, it's a jumble of kids' toys, media devices, and old furniture. Luckily, Emily's the perfect person to tackle all of these issues. Check out some behind-the-scenes and reveal photos from the project, and hear what Emily has to say about the experience of designing for HGTV'd.

Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. to watch the entire transformation!

Are you tuning in for the next episode of Home by Novogratz this Saturday? If you do, you'll get to check out a fab 2,000-square-foot penthouse apartment owned by a young couple who've done virtually nothing with the space. Of course, Cortney and Bob Novogratz are the perfect remedy to boring white walls. On a small budget, the couple introduces pops of color, cool art, an array of accessories, a fireplace tower and spectacular lighting to the home. Take a peek, and don't forget to tune in on Saturday at 10/9 CDT for the next episode of Home by Novogratz!
