Bored with football? Flip to HGTV

Home & Garden Television is aggressively counterprogramming the Super Bowl.

On Sunday afternoon and evening, the channel will offer new episodes of its more popular design and decorating shows, along with a first look at HGTV's "Dream Home 2002" at 6 p.m., repeating at 9 p.m.

"Room by Room," airing at 4 p.m., includes a special showing of the Chesapeake Bay "dream home" to be given away in a sweepstakes contest.

Do you have an atypical apartment abode?

Do you know someone with a stylish apartment? We're looking for locals who like to decorate using principles of modern or non-traditional design.

Call or write Home reporter Sarah Jackson at 360-704-6871 or send e-mail to sajackso@ olympia.gannett.com.
