Blog Cabin is back, and yes, many of us, myself included, are just as excited this year as ever! I love this sweepstakes and how each year we get to be so involved in the building of the prize, with the vast coverage provided by DIY Network... and as the old adage goes, somebody has to win.

The Blog Cabin Series is now being aired Thursdays at 9 PM Eastern Time. Following this sweepstakes is nearly like being involved in building your own home, without all the hassle! There are so many home improvement/decorating tips and other tidbits of useful information peppered throughout this sweepstakes that it keeps things interesting and educational, as well as provocative... what will they do next?

This year's cabin is located in Spring City, Tenessee, at the Lakefront Estates development. Its outdoor charm is enhanced with the stone fire pit and patio situated near the shoreline of this lakefront property, and fantastic views of the lake and landscaped yard are afforded from the decks of the cabin. As with last year's cabin, the cabin's interior design is filled with rustic elegance. With an abundance of wood in its interior decor, the ambiance created is still light and airy.

Although touring the cabin offers witness to some outstanding showpieces, true pieces of art, unfortunately these things are not part of the prize package this year, and the [family of] winners will have to make themselves at home in providing their own furnishings. A great peice of artwork in showcasing its prize, nonetheless, and still a great prize.
