Buyers: Now's The Time To Tour Homes

Fall ushers in that wonderful time of the year with three of my favorite holidays. Holloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas? No ... not those holidays. I'm talking about three really important events ... the Tampa Bay Fall Tour of Homes, the Candlelight Tour and Bungalow Fest.

This year's Tampa Bay Fall Tour of Homes runs October 28th through November 12th. 139 absolutely drop-dead gorgeous homes are included in this year's tour that includes properties in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando Counties. Hours of the tour are 10 to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday; Noon to 6 PM on Sundays. The St. Petersburg Times has a large insert that gives you all the home locations, or you can go to the Tour's website at www.tampabayparadeofhomes.com.

The Candlelight Tour of Homes will take place on Sunday, December 10th from 3 to 8 PM. This evening tour takes place in the historic Old Northeast neighborhood in St. Petersburg. You can visit eight homes by foot or by trolley. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 on tour day and are available from many local retailers starting just after Thanksgiving.

Bungalow Fest in Historic Kenwood gets underway on November 3rd with their moonlight tour from 7 to 10 PM. Tickets are $15. Then on November 4th you should attend the famous Bungalow Fest Home and Garden Tour from 10 AM to 3 PM. Tickets are $10. A two-day combined ticket is only $20. You can get tickets in advance at Craftsman House Gallery, 2955 Central Avenue or get additional info at the website, www.historickenwood.org.

If you're a buyer, or if you're just looking for great decorating ideas, touring these homes is a great way to spend a few hours. I love to go to these events, so maybe I'll see you there!
