Which would you choose? And a giveaway!!

Hey there, remember how I was going on and on about how much I love my Scout tote, the one that is now my official sidekick and THE perfect tote to accompany me on all my appts. as it really does hold everything! Well, I was contacted by them and they have generously offered a giveaway for their super popular huge hold everything Deano Tote (just like mine)!! You get to choose the print from 19 very chic prints. All you need to do is go to their site, come back here tell me a product you love and voila...you are eligible to win. I will announce the lucky winner on Thursday. Good luck.....click here to visit Scout/Bungalow. Now lets get started with "Which would you choose"? (Only those comments who have included what they like from the Scout site can be included in the drawing)



Good morning......by now you certainly know the drill! Well, after you slaved over your tapas dinner it is time for a well deserved break! Needless to say it was a major hit, the wine has flowed liberally, one gorgeous tray after another was presented from your beautiful kitchen to your adoring guests who did not stop with the accolades. Yep, to say you aced your tapas dinner is a serious understatement.
Well....after a little dessert and coffee out on the terrace, your husband has planned a movie viewing for everyone in your theater/media room! Its a surprise and a welcome one for you....as at last you get to put those hard worked feet where they belong.....up!! So its time to choose a room to where you will be retiring for at least  two bliss filled hours while the movie runs. Your dear hubby bless his little heart has offered to take care of the popcorn/candy servings throughout the movie and insists that you not move a muscle. "Wasn't going to even think about serving up another morsel, you all are on your own, "Oh sweetie thank you soooo much" you gush! So off to the media room you all trudge, delightfully full from the wonderful dinner and ready to settle down to an entertaining flick.....soooooo which room do you choose? Can't wait to find out!!

Warning- Viewing this photographs is known to inflict viewers with FWWAF (Forget work, watch a flick) Proceed at your own risk.........

                                                             CHOICE 1

                                                              CHOICE 2

                                                              CHOICE 3

CHOICE 4

CHOICE 5

                                                                    CHOICE 6

CHOICE 8

CHOICE 9

CHOICE 10

CHOICE 11

CHOICE 12

CHOICE 13

CHOICE 14

CHOICE 15

CHOICE 16

CHOICE 17


Wow, do you have a case of FWWAF? I do! I think I have it narrowed down to two, but its not an easy decision. How much fun would it be to have one of these wonderful rooms in your basement? Only problem is it could become highly addictive and that could become a big problem. I could see it now...my kids wondering where I am then my youngest, rolling his eyes saying "like you really need to ask....duh" and then they would all collectively sigh knowing where their mom is while pointing down to the basement,  and say  "oh yea in her new "hang out, where else". That would be me! So..... just as well I don't have one. So, two things, tell me which is your absolute fave here and tell me a favorite item over at Bungalow! Good luck and thanks for playing along!! Enjoy your day....

P.S. Thank you so much for all of your amazing advice on migraines, I was thrilled to hear from so many but sad to learn so many of you too have experienced them too, they are miserable! I am now trying a new medication, and am going for another CAT scan, so we will see how it goes. I think this round was a bad stubborn cluster headache that lasted awhile. I am celebrating today to just finally feel normal. Going to the supermarket feels like a big deal! Health is wealth....boy is that ever true:)

  3. #11 is reeeeally beautiful, too! I wouldn't be surprised if these are the 2 that you narrowed it down to!!

    Hi! I recently found your blog -- and can't get enough! And just in time to enter the giveaway, too... anyway, I love the Scout line but am really craving the Deano bag in Black Toile Paisley. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  5. They are all lovely rooms, but for someone serious about home theater, you would have to rule out any of the rooms with windows :)

    The seats in #4 are the same as the ones we have in our home theater, but the rest of the space looks too fussy. I would pick choice #16, but would have darker walls.

    Good luck with outfitting your home theater!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I love # 9 for being so original!

    Now, this giveaway is great. I can fit anything there for my new baby! Which is coming sooo soon! I'm feeling so much pressure since yesterday... I'm not sure I'll make until my due date. :-)

    Hugs to you, sweetie.

  7. First time sending a message, since I just signed up...wonderful site, getting ideas to decorate my house, the never ending project!
    Love choice 1, 5 then 10.
    And then the tote site, love the Hillary duffle.
    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I would love the Hilary Duffle Scout Travel Bagin LSDaisley. I carry a lot of stuff :(

    Choice 15...I see a lounger with my name on it! It really looks like an old movie theater.

    Hugs and have a great Tuesday, Jan

    ReplyDelete
  9. Option 1 - I love those couches! Although I loved a couple of other interiors too so I'm off to pin them! :) As for scout, my fave is Shop-O-Haul-It in Croc-o-gator...would love to sport that around doing my daily errands and kid pick up/drop offs. :) Glad you're feeling better...I haven't heard that saying that health is wealth but it's soooo true!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Love the tote giveaway. I would choose the Navy Jones Weekender. Beautiful. Thanks for the opportunity. dcrim4@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  11. Choice 17 all the way, specatacular and so glamorous!!

    ReplyDelete
  12. #1, #3, #4, #8 or #15! LOL!

    The Shop-a-haul-it Scout bag looks like a must-have!!

    Thanks so much!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. All those bags are great, I think I like the green eyed lady pattern best....or maybe that silver paisley.....or....

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow! Some of these are TOO much - you could pretty much just sleep in some of these rooms, and some of them seem to have everyone too far removed from each other. But Choice 9 looks just right!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I love choice #4. I can just picture myself there. I love media rooms. They just seem to wrap themselves around you!

    I really like your Deano Tote in blue & white paisley.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi! Just found your blog- so timely as I am doing my first theater room for a client, AND you are doing a great giveaway!!!!!
    #13 is my pick- I love those chairs!!!!
    As for the giveaway, that Deano tote in "pink lady" would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  17. No Contest for me this week its no 8 for me.It has everything you could possibly need when watching your favourite flick, dark cosy atmosphere, plush chairs with assortment of pillows to sink into, blanket to snuggle and enough room in your chair for two if you so desire.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hi, Tina,
    I am glad you are feeling better.
    As for Bungalow, I like the Uptown Girl in mad plaider.

    Home theater choice: I generally do not like the look of a home theater: stepped seating and the individual seats, to my mind, are clumsy looking, so I like the seating in #1, but I like the overall look of #9 the most.

    Best...Victoria

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'd look to have the Uptown Girl bag. As for the movie room, it's gotta be #4 because it reminds me of a time gone by.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Definitely #7 for me. I'm becoming addicted to your Tuesday choices! I find myself looking forward to this...fun! Thank!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oops! I forgot to mention that I love the Daytripper bag in the leopard print.

    ReplyDelete
  22. diogenes704@gmail.comNovember 15, 2011 at 8:09 AM

    First, glad you are feeling better. When I get a migraine, I just have to go to bed and sleep it off. As for the giveaway, thank you! I a hadn't heard of these bags and they are great. Love the bagette, and the pocket. But I love the Deano Tote, perfect size.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ok, #3 is like a big giant hug! These choices were MIND BLOWING! Also mind blowing....The Original Deano in Croc-o-Gator!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi Tina,
    First of all, I love the Original Deano in Croc-o-Gator Khaki!!
    Now for the movie room, I have to go with #9. There is a simplicity about it that would make it easy for me to relax!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. First of all I like the Scout website and I love their Messenger Bag. For a Movie Room I think #7 is so comfortable looking that you just want a bag of popcorn and your feet up and who cares if it is 8:16 AM in the morning.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love the Scout travel duffle with the retractable handle. I am going to visit my daughter in Washington and it would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  27. First of all, I LOVE the Hilary Duffle Bag in the pink paisley pattern - just beautiful !!

    Secondly, Choice 8 did it for me - I think it's those sheepskin throws at the bottom of the luxurious chairs !!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Original Deano in Priscilla paisley please! Or Angelina ballerina paisley....can't make up my mind!

    ReplyDelete
  29. The first image, #1, is my choice those sofas look so comfy and roomy.

    I hope you're feeling better and good luck with the CAT scan. I just had an MRI on my head and oh lord that was a nightmare since I have claustrophobia!

    ReplyDelete
  30. So many choices today! First off, since we go away almost every weekend, I would love the Weekender in True Brit and I'd probably invest in more than one. Now onto my room choice, #9 seems so exotic and love the chaises in front of the couch. #1 comes in a close second, though!
    xxoo

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would be hard pressed to choose between the original deano in either Green Eyed Lady Paisley or Sweetpea Stripe. And I would make a beeline for that fabulous leather chair in choice number 5.
    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Loving the Green Eyed Lady Paisley. Perfect for the pool!

    ReplyDelete
  33. My favorite day of the week! Children have just been dropped off at school, hot chocolate steaming, computer in my lap, sitting in my cozy chair. Life is good! I just love your blog and can't tell you how much I look forward to your posts. Now on with the challenge of just picking one. Number #11 is stunning!! Love that the whole family can gather together and watch a movie or enjoy some pool and still be in the same room.

    Love the SCOUT site. Adorable bags, luggage, and coolers. Loved the Fast Getaway Scout Travel bag in Navy Jones.

    Have a super fantastic day Tina. Thanks for bringing your amazing home and ideas into my home. Just love what you have done!

    Absolutely love the Scout Travel Fast Getaway duffle! Just the right size for an overnight trip to the Met for an evening of Puccini.

    As for home entertainment, I'm watching "White Christmas" in #7.

    Thanks for a great blog, Tina!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I would choose the Navy Jones! Great giveaway - we all need a great tote.
    I can see myself today in Choice 14..........it is cold and rainy here - so good day for staying in and watching movies..........all day!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love #8! Each person has their own chaise lounge with a cozy throw! The color palette is ideal for movie watching.
    Have a lovely day, Tina!

  37. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling better. I can't decide on the movie room...but I know that you will make it your own..anyway!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love the little Crown Jewels bag in Angelina Ballerina Paisley!

    P.S. My favorite is choice #6! Thanks for the fabulous giveaway! Have a lovely day!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I absolutely love #8! It's classic and simple (can't distract from a great movie, can we?!) but cozy and welcoming. I'd love to watch a movie there.

    I love the Scout "Pocket Rocket" it would be great to organize files and supplies when I'm on site working at an event! Those colors are so bright and fun, too!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Have the very same scout bag so no need to enter me but I MUST vote for #1--prettiest, most inspiring screening room I have ever seen. Yurns the whole genre on its head and I LOVED it. Thanks SO much for this series!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. LOVE LOVE #11 and #13!!! What fun choices!! As for Scout, I love the Rocket Pocket in Pink Lady, Def Leopard or CrocAGator Turquoise. If I am perhaps the lucky winner, you can pick the color!! Oh how excited I would be. I LOVE Scout and my husband calls me the "bag lady" because I can't ever turn down a cute bag to carry whatever!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love to FWWAF in the #1.the décor seems peaceful and calm with cushioned sofa to recline and enjoy the movie to full length in peace , I like the modern style home theatre.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like #7. Love the column/capital detail on the entertainment center.
    I also like the original Deano tote in raspberry beret paisley please.
    Love your blog.

  44. My husband and I love your site...great to see the progress that you're making! I don't envy all of the choices that you need to make, though, including the media room! As for the Scout giveaway, a great Weekender is always nice to have and love the Angelina Ballerina Paisley pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Alison, I would love to be lucky enough to have any of these rooms, but I love #7. The comfortable sofas, the beautiful wood and the second screen are perfect for my football loving guys in my family. It's also a warm and cozy feeling for watching a movie.
    I love the scout bags, my choice would be the Weekender. We are always doing long weekends at the beach or off to see my sister in Atlanta and this would be perfect. I love the Weekender in True Britt.
    Thanks for a great giveaway chance.
    Hope your week is going great. I'm doing catchup from a long beach weekend getaway.........

  46. croc o gator is super chic and perfect for the d and d! Your theater images put my downstairs man cave to shame!!! Love the glamorous 16--a girl and can dream!!! have a great day TIna! xx

    ReplyDelete
  47. What a fabulous giveaway!!! I love Scout Bags and I love the Deano bag. My favorite is the Deano bag in Raspberry Beret Paisley.

    Those theater rooms are gorgeous. I love number 8 and 13.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Room #7 is great- catch the game & watch a movie! Love the 2 TV's!

    Nice Giveaway! I have heard great things about Scout Bags & would love to have the original Deano bag in Croc-o-gator khaki!

    ReplyDelete
  49. What a lot of choices. I like # 7 and #11.

    As for the totes I like the 4 boys in the Navy wavy.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Love the Scout 'Fast Get Away' in the Navy Jones!
    Hard to decide on the home movie looks - but First choice is #1-great use of seating, views and storage with glam! Second choice #6 - a multipurpose room with killer built-ins and giant screen; and Third choice is #12 for classic man room with options!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I don't really get media rooms, per se, because I don't really want to spend that much of my life watching TV and I don't watch enough movies to want a special room. That said, #1 is the prettiest and most multi-purpose, imo.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I like #7 and #11 -- but I'll pick #7 because the furniture looks more comfortable. And I'd remove the small TV -- no way sports will be on while I'm watching a movie on the big screen!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'll take room #1: Sophisticated for any purpose-- reading (love the bookcases) or drinking martinis. Love the window too and know those must be blackout curtains.I shy away from rooms with only one purpose so my next choice would be the cozy #10. Again bookcases, large window and comfortable place to socialize.
    I could definitely use the Croc-o-Gator Khaki tote.

    ReplyDelete
  54. The organized woman never has enough bags! Work bag, laptop bag, church bag, car tote bag... I could use an extra room to keep my organizing bags organized! Currently seeking out a clever solution to categorize and tote materials for my confirmation class and the Hang-10 bag is cool and clever to maximize my image with the teen's I teach! Definitely pink or turquoise in color!
    And who can choose just one of these movie rooms? I would have two in my next life: 1, 3, and 9 - pass the popcorn please!

    ReplyDelete
  55. LOVING the Shop-A-Haul-It bag! I use reusable bags for everything, and this one just begs for a shopping trip. :)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Number one please, closely followed by 5, 8 and 10. I have trouble with decisions.

    I would like to try the Shoulda bag...I am a quilter and my scraps always get out of hand. I think this bag could help me!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Love #1. It's the most versatile with the window and the bookcase. The fabrics are scary light. For the Scout, I'd love the Fast Getaway in Leopard.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Personally, I love the first one. It's the one that feels lightest, most spacious, sophisticated and comfortable - I like rooms that have a little more flexibility.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm going with no. 1. I love that TV cabinet.
    Thanks for the chance to win the bag from Scout.
    I love the Deano bag in French Twist Gold.

    I like the Uptown girl bag. All of their products are great- will do some Christmas shopping. I am sorry some readers have been less than kind. I find your blog and house building so enjoyable. It has been amazing and fun to read about the progress. I do so with keen interest to your detail and not a bit of jealousy-- just happiness for a woman who loves her family and is building a special place to call home.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Good morning...The Scout bags are all beautiful. I like the collapsible storage bag. As for the media room....I have to go with room #1. I like the calmness of the room. I can see myself snuggling up on one of those comfortable sofas and enjoying a great movie such as "The Notebook". Room #14 is also nice for a traditional media room. Thanks for your great blog.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Love, love, love number 8! Love that everyone gets their own chair, pillow, and cozy blanket! Also love the xyz deano in black and white plaid from Scout. Darling!!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think a lot of media rooms are just plain ugly & unappealing. I would rather be in a library! If I had to choose it would be the last one #17 because it is elegant, decorative , has comfy seats & cool carpet.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I can see why you love the tote bags from Scout. My fave is the Pocket Rocket. I like the different pockets as it helps keep me organized-pocket for iphone, pocket for tape measure, pocket for gum and tissues....Looks roomy enough to hold my design binders as well.

    As for the media rooms, #1 and #2 are my favorite and each have a different appeal. One is a cozy up with me and watch a movie type of room and #2 is great for having friends and family over. They are all beautiful in their own right.

    ReplyDelete
  65. HI there! I would like the Hillary Duffle in hot pink to go with those new boots you made me buy!! haha. Great giveaway. And for the movie theater room I liked #11. But have you seen the theatre room that is in Barbra Streisands book, My Passion for Design? It is in her home and it blows all of these away~I think you would love it!

    ReplyDelete
  66. So glad you are feeling better. 8 looks so amazing, but I might have to go with 14, as I am in a winter spirit. I picture being in a ski chalet and drinking hot cocoa watching a movie!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I love the Original Deano bag!! I am a school nurse and I haul stuff from my car every morning, plus I love bags!

    I would choose 4, 7 and 13! You're right, it makes you want to go watch a movie :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. They are all beautiful but I would pick number 5 or 10, depending on the space.

    P.S. I'm sending you an email today.
    Best,
    Julie at Belle Vivir

    ReplyDelete
  69. While I've always imagined that I'd love theater seating in my home theater, when given the choice you had me at #1. Those sofas are exactly the place I'd love to curl up after a long day and evening on my feet! The windows are wonderful as well and coming in second, #9.

    I'd love the XYZ Deano - in the adorable pink check.
    Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  70. LOVE the priscilla paisley!! Perfect.
    Ok, 7 (no brainer for me as far as comfort is concerned) and 16 for looks. GORGEOUS!
    have anise Tuesday, Tina.

  71. I love and want the weekender in def leopard !I have been trying to hold back buying as Christmas is coming and I should buy for others not me!

    I Love #4 very classy and timeless

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm going with 10 because I love the room and wouldn't really want an actual movie theatre in my house- would prefer a gorgeous/well designed den of sorts and number 10...well it's just about perfect!!1

    ReplyDelete
  73. Wow, they are all wonderful but I would choose #1, I love the lighter fabrics and soft lighting. Could be a multi functional room as well. It's so beautiful, yet cozy!

    As for the Deano tote, I would probably have to go with French Twist Gold, it's classy and timeless. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Oh Tina, you've got me going now. I love the original Deano in Mad plaider or in the stripe demux soleils. I got lost (good thing) in their website. So many fabulous sizes and fabric choices. If I win one then I will have to go and get some coordinating pieces. Love the rolling duffle too!
    Thank you and Have a Great Day!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I got so into the media rooms I forgot about the giveaway! Would be hard to choose between the green and white and navy and white striped bag! I am always a pushover for a stripe!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I choose #9...thanks for your blog. I love love love to see in my inbox that you have posted.

    I would love to have the original deano tote in def leopard. So cool.

    ReplyDelete
  77. For serious movie viewing (aka no chatting) then it's a toss up between 8 and 14. For casual movie viewing (with plenty of chatter), then I pick 7.

    Love the Scout line - I'll take an Uptown Girl in the mad plaider, please.

    ReplyDelete
  78. #7 or #14. I designed a couple of award winning home theaters. They are so much fun to design. Remember to make sure your design doesn't interfere with the speakers, etc. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I'd choose #7. Our new home has a theatre room that we've just started decorating. Let me tell you, it looks NOTHING like these ones lol (lets just say it's a tad more basic). It is a wonderful feature to have, though, and we've decided to go with a Pacific Northwest theme as we're from Vancouver Island. We have huge photos of Cathedral Grove (temperate rainforest), lithographs of Vancouver harbour in the 1800's and a huge, heavy fishing reels fresh off an old fishing boat. It's slowly coming together =)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hi Tina!
    You certainly broaden my style horizons! I just got lost on Scout's beautiful site. I see some great Christmas gift ideas here! I think my pick would have to be the Deano in French Twist Gold!
    Thanks for the chance to win!!!!!

    As far as the home theater, what a hard choice as usual. I will pick 14. Love the bar in the back!
    Thanks for a fun visit!

  81. I love rooms 1, 5 and 10. The tote is delightful in Navy Jones which is my choice.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Sweet pea stripe. Anything in that stripe- Hillary duffle, weeknder, deano, laundry bag. You name it! I like that cozy couch just off the dining room in number 9. Relaxing!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Scout Bag: I choose #12200 - Capitol Fun...because I live near the Capitol.

    Media Room: I choose # 15. Large screen, lots of seating, stars on ceiling, and it just looks like the "reel" deal :) The concession stand is in the back, and I'm ready for a movie marathon!

    ReplyDelete
  84. I really like the first one.

    I love scout. i carry them in my store and think they are great.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Oh yes....#7 for sure.

    Love the Capitol Fun tote.

    Can't wait to see your finished home!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Media room choice #9. Deano Tote in True Brit. Love your site!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I could not choose between 3 and 8. Love the dark walls. Both look great to snuggle up with a big comfy blanket and watch a movie!!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love the Deano bag in the black toile paisley, but I can think of fifty things to store in the Shoulda Bin. Love that.

    The theater room - I finally decided if I have one, I'd pick #8. I like the simplicity of the dark walls and those chairs and ottomans, (or are they chaises?) look wonderful. Putting my feet up and watching a movie sounds like heaven.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I usually have trouble deciding between the choices but this time I chose right away, #1.

    ReplyDelete
  90. #1 or #11 are my choices! As for the totebag, I love the purple paisley!

    ReplyDelete
  91. What I would give for a movie night in ANY of those incredible spaces!!!! But #1 draws me in. I like that you would be comfy and yet not feel separated from your friends and loved ones.

    So happy you are feeling better!!!!!
    xoxo Elizabeth

  92. As far as my favorite product regarding entry for the giveaway, I like the "four boys" bag! Large enough to hold anything!

    ReplyDelete
  93. I love the Uptown Girl On-The-Go Scout Tote in Mad Plaider. So cute!

    As to the viewing rooms, guess I'd have to with #9.

    ReplyDelete
  94. #13 - There could be others that have a bar in the back, but since this is the only one where it's visible, this is the one I choose!

    I just want recliners and pillows and blankets! And Ryan Gosling, if we're in the "wishing" kind of mood!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Love all the media rooms, tough choice, but I personally would go with #11 because of the elegant woodwork and it is not the typical media room it is like a library. Love #15, I can see the family hanging out watching movie after movie! As for the great bags, I like the Uptown girl in Rasberry Beret for me and It's a Dawg's life for my puppies!

    ReplyDelete
  96. What unbelievable choices! I think # 10 looks most inviting to me!! Great images.

    ReplyDelete
  97. #9 is amazing!

    As for the tote, I love the Instant Messenger bag!

  98. All are fabulous rooms. I would pick #17. As far as the bag the Fast Getaway in Navy Jones would be my pick.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I like something about each of the media rooms and would have a hard time choosing just one! But, at this time of my life (teenage daughter endlessly entertaining friends, I'd choose #15. It would accomodate a large group and looks like a "real" movie theatre. However, as becoming an empty nester (in the near future), I'd select #8 for the comfort and coziness it exudes.

    I have the Bungalow Original Deeno bag(in French Twist Gold)on my Christmas wish list...and also really love the Junque Trunk in Sweetpea Stripe!!
    Thanks :) Llifestyle12@gmail.com

  100. I love room #17. The carpet is incredible.
    I liked everything at the Scout/Bungalow site. If I was to purchase just one item I would get the Deano Tote in Def Leopard.

  101. It's the very first time I visited this blog! You've got such a wonderful house you're building!!! If you'd let me choose, I'd go with room nr. 8 - looks cosy with all these pillows. :-) The house looks enormous, so it's so great you can go all the way with a movie theatre in the house!

    And I've never heard of Scout, but I love their bags. Especially the Weekender Scout Travel Bag (Angelina Ballerina Paisley) - it's sooo cute in pink! And since I always carry too much stuff around, it would be a great Christmas present. ;-)

    Anyway, I'll definitely come here more often and good luck with your blog!

  102. What fabulous rooms. My favorite is number 11. And I just love the original tote in Navy Jones.

    ReplyDelete
  103. First things first: the French Twist Gold tote!

    And #8...because...oh gosh, those chairs!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Choice #1 for sure!! love it!!

  105. Love the Navy Jones Deano! What a neat site!

  107. Hello Tina,

    I am so happy that you are feeling better! That is good news, and hopefully with a few visits to the doctors they can give you some meds or something for relief.

    I love Scout bags, have a couple already. But I would not mind another, I like origional Deano in Navy Jones.

    I hope you have a fabulous week! Take care, Elizabeth

  108. Tina,

    Glad you are feeling better...my gosh...hope a change in meds helps remedy your "lost in space feeling". Prayers in place with CAT scan. Maybe a nutritionist supervised detox would help cut the build up we get with all the foods we eat. Our foods and ingredients are just not as pure as they use to be. Could also be from your new home construction site...we become more sensitive as we age because we don't know what's in the air we're breathing.

    Scout bag choice: Four Boys Bag Jumbo Scout Tote color: Navy Jones

    Media Rooms: notice I selected more than one well it just happens I love #4, #12, #15 and #17.

    Now let's select some movies shall we...lol.

    Have a good day!

    Bette

  109. All beautiful media rooms, but I would have to go with Choice #7. Feels cozy, like the sectional sofa.

    Wonderful give-away, love those bags. I have visited their web-site and would choose the day-tripper bag. Thank you for the chance to win...your awesome!

    Glad to hear your are feeling better, lets hope it stay like that my friend. Diane

  110. Tina,

    I like room 9 but it must have the reclining single or double chairs in their too!

    I really like the Scout weekender bag!

    ReplyDelete
  111. I'd go for room #8 and the Spirit Liftah bag from the Scout website. Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  112. oh yay, i LOVE scout bags, they are so cute. my mom gives them as xmas presents every year. i would pick the sweetpea striped.

    and room #2, for sure!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Choice #10 - I'm not a "media room" type of girl, so this one is more cozy and library-like. And the totes... LOVE the original! (and the weekender...)

    ReplyDelete
  114. Hands down #1 for me and second goes to #9. I like multi-purpose rooms and from #1 I have a smaller scale mirror hanging in my living room that reminds me of the beautiful backdrop mirror is this room. If I was choosing a tote for me it would be the Scout Black Swan Paisley.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Thanks so much for this giveaway! I'm gonna go with the True Brit print! Just adorable!!

  116. So much fun! I'm redoing my family room and loved looking at these rooms. My vote goes for #7, relaxed, comfortable and people can see and easily talk with each other. Although I am not sure why there are two Tvs in the room - there are 2, right? By the way, my absolute favorite viewing room is featured in Barbra Striesand's book on the design of her home. Check it out if you get a chance. Swoon!

    As for the tote, Angellina Ballerina...perfect for the beach.
    thanks,
    Joan

  117. I prefer the multifunctional capabilities of Rooms 5 and 11. Wonderful for satisfying varied family interests - playing pool, a game of cards, conversation, absorbed in a great book, etc.

    i can't live without a tote bag. The Weekender in Def Leopard is stunning. Many thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I love the Collapsible storage bag in any pattern. All of the media rooms are great but I LOVE #1.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I would love the coziness of number 7, if I were at home...but if I was on vacation, I would choose number 9....looks very relaxing!

    The all had the "Whow Factor".....

    ReplyDelete
  120. #1.....Window and all (of course with the drapes closed to make it that much more cozy). The velvet sofas, the gorgeous cabinetry, timeless design, heck, it had me at hello.

    Love your bag.....also admiring the "Shop A Haul It". Great stuff.

    xo

    ReplyDelete
  121. For the theater, choice #1 is so modern, yet elegant.

    For the Scout contest, like the Weekender Scout Travel Bag in Sweetpea Stripe.

    And Finally, love all the house updates - the attention to detail throughout your building process is phenomenal.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I would definitely go for the Def Leopard! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I love the Angelina Ballerina Paisley. I have not seen that one before. I LOVE Scout. I used a Deano as a pool bag for my 3 kids for 4 years until it was peeling a bit. But that thing had been used to death. They are so durable and light too.

    As far as the rooms, I would choose 8. I like 1 a lot too but the mirrors would be too distracting for me I think. I would be looking at everyone looking at the movie. And I also like #3 too .

    ReplyDelete
  124. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better! I heart all the media rooms but, my favorite is #15
    We have big families and that room would accomidate a big crowd. Thanks for the chance to win a tote. I like the Deano tote in navy and white.

  125. OH DEAR! Choice 11 is for me! AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS when I miss two days of blogging!!!! HELLO THERE DEAREST from way down here!!! Anita

    The totes are great also. I liked the weekender bag.

  129. After seeing Scout on your blog, Tina...I ordered six! One rolling duffle, one regular duffle and four insulated bags (good for keeping groceries cold)--all for Christmas gifts....but I would LOVE one for me! In the blue paisley, like yours.

    I like media room #11.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Mini deani tote is great-- love stripes! And I like photo 6 best! Hope I win!

    ReplyDelete
  131. #15 is just right! We have a media room in our house and it is so fun to watch movies and television in our own home theater without leaving the house.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I'm digging Croc o gator khaki for the scout tote!

    ReplyDelete
  133. Oops, I forgot to add that I really like the Deano in the Priscilla Paisley print.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Wow, Tina is this a record response? All the rooms scenes are beautiful. My favorite has to be #7. As a lighting designer I always try to let people know about LUTRON. Here in Orange County, they have a great facility with an Experience Center where people can go to see an actual home theater done with proper lighting and dimming. It is a free tour and very informative and impressive.

    I love the scout duffle in pink.

    So, what movie are we watching?

    ReplyDelete
  135. Please. Nobody needs all this. Talk about excess! Lol!

    ReplyDelete
  136. The Deano tote in True Brit is fab! Love the scout stuff!! so durable and CUTE!!! Right now I am carrying my house stuff in my Jon Hart bag, but I know I will need something bigger soon!! We close on our lot tomorrow!! Let the building fun begin!! :)
    don't love media rooms, but love the movie playing on #12!

    Wow! There are a lot of people who would love the Tote!! The
    Classic Scout Tote in the Black Swan Paisley is my favourite!!

    My favourite to watch all those old movies and new ones... are #1 and #16 - am trying to give in to the family wanting that big screen in the family room - always that challenge to make it look like it belongs!!

    Love these fantasies!!

    ReplyDelete
  139. Number 1 I guess I like the home setting more than the theater settings. plus the sofa/chaise looks so comfy!

    ReplyDelete
  140. I enjoy your blog!

    I didn't choose a favourite theatre because the key ingredients that really "make" a home theatre can't be captured in photos. Those ingredients include: acoustics, image quality, sound quality, light control and seating comfort. With all do respect to decorators, these issues often take a back seat to the "look" for many decorators. However, these issues should be worked out with an expert in the home theatre field before the interior designer is called in to deal with the look of the theatre. It is obvious from several of the images above that a number of these theatres were decorator driven rather than technically driven - too much exterior light, too many hard surfaces that will cause the sound to bounce around, difficult seating angles etc.. While the look is important in making a first impression to guests, I strongly encourage you to connect with an acoustic specialist who is sensitive to design issues but who will stand up (nicely) to the decorator to ensure that the "hidden" technical essentials that really make for a great theatre experience are included in the design. Like so much that goes into home building, putting together a home theatre seems fairly straightforward but it is actually complex. The first visual impression is important, but when the lights go down the real "wow" experience will be due to great sound and image quality.

    P.S. Apologies for the anonymous posting but I didn't know how to use the other posting options.

  141. Sorry should have said "due respect" not "do respect". My excuse is I'm suffering from a miserable cold.

  142. I love the Uptown Girl tote in Raspberry Beret Paisley, but also really love the Capitol Fun one. Oh how to chose?

    I love room 11. Really all the rooms are amazing, but that one is cozy and looks like the kind of room I'd love to have in my home.

    ReplyDelete
  143. The throws and soft pillows in option 8 made it a winner for me :)

    I love how you can try out all the patterns on the Scout web site, after going through all the choices I chose the Stripe Deux Soleils tote. I am a nearly qualified school teacher and this would be perfect for me!

    If I could choose anything at Scout I would have the Pocket Rocket Multi-Pocketed Scout Tote in the Stripe Deux Soleils. I would love to have everyone's water bottles handy, plus pockets for all the phones etc. jenjenqld@gmail.com

  144. So many cute things to choose from! I love the "sold out" Hillary Duffle in Raspberry Beret Paisley!

  149. Love room #8 as you can really curl up to view the movie

    ReplyDelete
  150. great room choices... my first choice would be #1... it is gorgeous, comfortable, light, inviting,and welcoming for any age...( for watching movies you just need the right lighting and room darkening blinds...( 2nd choice would be #10 fore similar reasons..)
    I too LOVE the Bungalow/Scout products... have a few of them on my wishlist for a year or so...I like the BLACK SWAN PAISLEY in the Dean-o, along with the COOLER CLUTCH & SPIRIT LIFTAH in BLACK SWAN. I also liked the FOUR BOYS BAG in FRENCH TWIST BLACK... they have a cute magazine holder in same pattern also.The other one on my wishlist is the Fast Getaway
    Roller Bag in Daily Bubble Blue.
    And as for your migraines, be encouraged... I spent half of every month in the hospital or drs offices for migraines and clusters.. for about 30 yrs... and can now say, am migraine free...LOL..as it's true but now other things have taken their place...the important thing is to know that there is hope... if you eve want to talk about it with me, please drop me a line, or we can speak on the phone..

  151. I can't decide between 3 and 9, but the white sofas must be calling me. Love the cozy warm feel of 3 and the ceiling in 9 is AMAZING!! Hope you're having a great week ~

    ReplyDelete
  152. I love the Jumbo Boys Bag from Scout/Bungalow. These bags really look both great and utilitarian. I'd love to win one. For a room that actually looks like a theater, my first choice is #16. Next, I also like #1 and #10.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Love media rooms no. 1,3,5,9
    but if i must choose - no. 5. is the winner:
    comfortable, light, inviting, and welcoming for any age and it's more like entertainment center.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Tina you are my new Oprah....thanks. I cannot tell you how many amazing items I have found through you I kid you not. When you told me about the Scout bags the other day, I looked them up and loved them also the fact that they were reasonably priced was a plus, so I ordered two as gifts for Christmas and will likely order more. They are great!
    On top of other items, like those monogrammed rainboots you recommended that I wear even when its not raining! So thanks, Oprah I mean Tina.
    Now onto these gorgeous theaters, many of which I would be only to happy to sit my bottom in pigging out on popcorn, the three way tie for me is between 12, 15 and 17, love each of these luxurious theaters....all stunners to me. Wonderful selection of rooms.
    Thank you and so happy you are finally feeling better.

    ReplyDelete
  155. 7 or 11 are my picks BUT I'm in love with the furniture in 1. My bag pick is the Weekender Scout Travel bag in Angelina Balerina Paisley. Thanks so much for this chance to dream!

    ReplyDelete
  156. My choice of bag would be the UptownGirl bag.
    No question....I could spend a whole week in room #7. Perfection!!
    Lisa

    ReplyDelete
  157. Room 1.
    My bag would be the original Deano in sweet pea stipe - Fab!

    ReplyDelete
  158. I may have to order the Scout! DO I need another orange bag? Of course!!! I love the plaid and the straps add just enough sophistication to make it a 'take it everywhere' tote!
    Going with #11. SOme of the others are more amazing as true theater rooms, but I can't bring myself to go to that level of decadence ...having one room devoted just to movie viewing - 11 looks a bit more multi-purpose...a little reading, a little pool.... But choice 8, completely decadent (sigh)- could even take a snooze in those amazing chairs if the movie was a dud!

    ReplyDelete
  159. When I saw the 4 boys Scout bag I laughed out loud !! Since we have 4 boys and they all fish and hunt I have to have the camo one !!! My choice for movie night #9 reminds me of a tropical island with a pina colada in hand !!!

    ReplyDelete
  160. Love the media rooms...I think #1 and #8 are my favorites!

    My bag would be the Deano in any of the colors. They are all great!

    ReplyDelete
  161. Media room #1. The others are too massive and masculine.
    I love the Angelina Ballerina Paisley.

    ReplyDelete
  162. #9 for me please! I love how open it is to the other rooms and the outdoors. You gave us a nearly impossible choice as always, though!
    Stacy

    ReplyDelete
  163. I will choose # 10, it's small and cosy and well decorated. #9 second Ralph Lauren house is beautiful! I pick those two because they look more like living room on houses, media room that look like theaters look cold and impersonal to me like 4, 6, 8 &16. Or too dramatic like 2, 12, & 15.

    ReplyDelete
  164. As an avid athelete I would love to see a post on fitness/spa rooms...will you have a home gym in your new home?

  166. Hi, choices 7 or 15 would suit me just fine. Would love to have a media room, and as long as we are dreaming...lets go with something really over the top. Bring on the popcorn with extra butter!

    ReplyDelete
  167. Choice #1 caught my attention immediately. So simple and light. Beautiful!

  168. Tina,
    SO glad to hear your headache is better!!! I sure hope they find something to help get rid of them for good. They are terribly debilitating.
    Your comment yesterday made me laugh...the filofax missing would have caused me to stroke.
    I love #9 because it looks like there may be a tropical locale attached..but once again any of them really would be fun. And I, too would be ALWAYS watching movies.
    As far as the giveaway goes...Original Deano in Croc o Gator Khaki is perfect.
    Hugs

    ReplyDelete
  169. Oh my! I'd eat popcorn in any of them! The more cavernous the better. I love the Scout products. I have a mini zippered box in my car for my CD's and a large one for my secret girlie/childhood treasurers waaaaaay up on the top shelf. I even like the crackling sound of the material and how it feels. Is that odd? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  170. P.S. SO glad your headache has passed. Good thoughts on the CT scan. xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  171. No 1 is my fav. Our friends have a theater and I have found that I really don't care for theater seating. I like the idea of snuggling on a couch or sectional to watch a movie at home, whether its family or friends.

    ReplyDelete
  172. #10! The others are pretty cheesy!!

    ReplyDelete
  173. oh and I would LOVE the Pocket Rocket from Scout!

    ReplyDelete
  174. Tina Tina Tina, I love how you show us show beautiful fantasy rooms though I know many including my own sister has a theater and a mighty pretty one I might add and we spend every Super bowl and New Years eve at their house and its always a party. We love going there.
    So many gorgeous rooms and to speak to "anonymous" up there, if you dont' have something nice to say why bother? I mean couldn't you have just said the one you liked and left it at that, geez! Why bother saying the others are cheesy, cuz its kind of isulting to those of us and its many who like so many of the others but obs you never thought that far!!!!
    Anyway, for me its a very dead even tie, between number 7 which is a multi functional room, something for everyone , choice 8 because if the movies stinks you could take one heck of a snooze on those seats and number 17 because that is one decadent theater and though its really souped up, it is gorgeous. Really happy to hear your headache finally went away, hope it stays away for good. These are such fun!

  175. I love so many of the bags but my favorite is Style: Stripe Deux Soleils

  181. Hi Tina, I really, really enjoy your blog and the generosity of spirit you have!

    My favorite as I sit here in the heat (Australia) is definitely #9 but a close second is #1 - which would have been the winner if the screen was a bit bigger!

    I also love the Scout bag - perfect for carting all the towels, food, buckets, spades etc to the beach.

    Can't wait for tomorrows post on the house update!

  182. Ohhhhh I love choice number 1 and number 5! And for the Deano Scout bag..I love the Navy Jones. Classic and sharp!

  184. Choice 10! My dream home theater. Very beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  185. Choice #9, but I would prefer more seats as my kids wouldn't be willing to share a chair--no matter how big it is.

    As for the bag, I liked the Weekender in Angelina Ballerina or the Counterfeit in Croc-o-Gator. LOVE LOVE LOVE the names of their bags and fabrics!!

    ReplyDelete
  186. Room #10 for me please - just the right size!! And don't you just love Scout totes? I love the classic Brittany stripe!

    ReplyDelete
  187. Room 6. It gives an option for someone to sit and do something at the table as well.

    Counterfeit in Croc-o-Gator for me please.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Hmm...I would go for choice 16. Well, it’s not just because I saw Jason Statham on the screen ♥ (LOL), but it just really looks cozy to me. This is a great example of a home theater that doesn’t need a lot of details on it. It’s simple as it is, but it’s still has an air of class around it, and not to mention that it looks comfortable too. Have I already mentioned that Jason Statham is on the screen? Haha!
