Take a picture of your screen!!!


Last Wednesday, ABC has decided, yet again....to show a rerun of  my favorite show Revenge. I am sure it is part of a plot to hit it hard during February (sweeps), and get huge ratings. What ABC doesn't know, is that my other favorite "Hampton's" show just started....Royal Pains!


You know where I was headed (with all my extra time, thanks ABC) ...Hooked on Houses. I wanted to find some great images from previous episodes for some inspiring ideas. To my shock...Julia (Hooked on Houses) did not have Royal Pains! For years, I have found EVERYTHING I have ever searched for on her site. I sent her an e-mail and she let me know how she does the "magic". Now, many of you may already have figured this out....this post is not for you. For everyone else.....Julia watches a show on her computer and takes a picture of the screen. Here is how you do that.





So easy, right! I went to an older episode of Royal Pains, and took this shot



Here is the disclaimer....although I found this a cool bit of information to know....I won't be doing this very often. Julia also told me that it takes a huge amount of time to capture images from television shows. That was an understatement!! So, for me...my plan is to continue to go to Hooked on Houses. I'll let Julia do all the work. I might dabble with this again, when I have huge amounts of spare time. Is this something you would ever try?

I am Hooked on Hooked on Houses!








I'm sure the blog, Hooked on Houses is nothing new to any of you....and like most of you, I am hooked!

It is no secret that I have a love for all things Hampton's, and all things Nantucket! In fact, IN MY MIND, my home is the Nantucket beach house....that I will never have. So, naturally, when I saw the commercials for the television show Revenge


...and found out that it takes place in the Hampton's.....I was all in!

Back to Hooked on Houses, I don't know how Julia does it, she manages to have posts on every show or movie I have ever wanted  a closer look at! Here are photo's from her site that are of the television set, Revenge

Hooked on Houses
This is the type (on a MUCH smaller scale) of all white entry I am in love with. I will tackle this over the winter...and I will tell you all about it!

Hooked on Houses
 That's the perfect pool that I am dreaming of! This home could be on any Eastern beach front property, like Martha's Vineyard. If you want to read the entire post on the amazing sets of Revenge, go here.


...and just for fun, because I told you that Julia has EVERY home I could think of.....check out a very old set that is now so chic

Bewitched
It is the living room from Bewitched! I would love that sofa now. I need to warn you, if you visit Hooked on Houses, you will be hooked, too!
