Tour of Homes - Want to Participate?

Next week I'm planning to post of a tour of the new house.


At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to share the house in detail because well, it felt kind of weird. But then I thought about it some more and I always really enjoy looking at pictures of other people's houses on their blogs. I'm always happy to watch House Hunters or House Hunters International. I like getting tours of friend's houses. So I'm going to go with it. Besides, some family members have been wanting a virtual tour and this will give them a chance to see it since they are spread out all over the country and in India.

But if I show you mine, will you show me yours? (Diiiiirty.) I want to put together a round-up post, kind of like the Day in the Life thing, that would allow us to click on each others house tour posts. Wouldn't that be kind of fun? To see houses and apartments all over the country & world? I did something somewhat similar a couple years ago, and I can link back to those posts if those original people are interested.

Anyway, to participate you need to:
  • Have a blog or a Flickr Account or a non-private Facebook account - somewhere you can put a linkable series of photos
  • Take pictures of your house and post it on your blog/Flickr/Facebook by SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
  • Email me the link at navigatingthemothership @ gmail.com by SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8
Sound like something you are interested in? To my people abroad: Oh, pleeeeeeeeease do this? House Hunters International is my favorite of all.

  1. This is so serendipitous because our cleaner is coming TODAY so I actually CAN take pics of our house tonight with minimal effort :) I shall!

    1. I was just about to say, as I read this post, our house had JUST been cleaned, and I literally jumped up with my camera and started snapping pictures. This will be fun!

  3. I've been meaning to do a "tiny house tour" for months... so count me in! House Hunters is our favorite too, but the U.S. version please... the int'l ones make me way too jealous!

  4. AWESOME!!! I am doing this and I am starting now because it will probably take me that long to get it to the point where I am willing to share my house with the world (I have a couple of rooms that I am changing their purpose LOL). Also there are some rooms where I NEED decorating advice and your day in the life posts always gives me the most hits on my blog. Awesome idea!!! (I LOVE house hunters international too!!!)
