Hooked on Houses, bad photos, and pets on furniture

I've mentioned in my blog here before that I am a bit of a freakish follower of many, many blogs. I don't follow any particular blog to the extent of stalker status, I just follow a. lot. of. blogs. All a blog author has to do is write one entry or post one picture that grabs my attention and I'm hooked! A lot of the blogs I follow, I have discovered by clicking the links from blogs I was already following. One blogger I love to follow, Julia at Hooked on Houses, posts a lot of really interesting articles and stories about the houses of celebrities and the houses you may see in movies. (I think I found her by stalking through the blogs that my BFF Chelsea follows. See? Stalker.) Julia writes about renovations done on celebrities' houses or houses in movies, and even finds interesting facts about the house that may have driven producers there for filming in the first place. What's also really fun is seeing the MLS listing photos of celebrities' multi-million dollar mansions. Anyway, it's always really cool to read what she's got to write. So, I guess I'll share her with you if you promise to appreciate her. Promise? Okay.

One of my favorite "Gotta-Look-For-Her-Next-Entry-On-This-Topic" topics is her collection of Bad MLS Photos. Just do yourself a favor and click through a few of these blog entries. You will cringe, laugh hysterically, and shake your head in pure disbelief. Check out this picture from one of her entries she titled "Furniture Stand-Off." I love that she asked readers to caption the photo, and my favorite was comment was Eileen's which read, "Red Rover, Red Rover, we call the couch over!"


My new favorite link that Julia has shared really is stalker-worthy... I promise! A blog she follows (remember, that's how I find blogs to follow!) posts photos each Monday of Pets on Furniture. My favorite from today's post was Otis the Dachshund. For some unknown reason I have this little place in my heart that is head-over-heels crazy about dachshunds (especially the long haired ones) and I hope to someday have one in my own little family.


...And Otis, well, he just helped me make a 100% "YES!" decision in about 0.005 seconds that Vespa needs a hand-knitted sweater for this winter.

I guess I've now made my point that a) I'm a blog stalker and b) I love reading Julie's blog. What's one of your favorite blogs to read? I'd love a link to it!!! ;)
