On May 4, 2012, HGTV announced in a blog post that the 2013 HGTV Dream Home was going to be built on the island. You can view time-lapse photography of the build site taken from March 15 up to July 2 at which point the outside appears to be complete. You will also notice that the home is constructed as a stilt house where the lower section is not meant to be occupied and serves as flood protection. An artist rendition and floor plans are available in a separate Photo Album

Famous quotes containing the words dream and/or home:
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
