A few days, I was talking to a business coach and the conversation went something like this:
She: “You were on HGTV??!!”
Me: “Oh, that…yes, I was.”
She: “How come you never talk about it? I mean, you were on HGTV!!!!!”
Me: “It was such a long time ago.”
I have a tendency to play things down, I know.
But yes, I really was on HGTV – about eight years ago now, if memory serves me correctly.
I’d practically forgotten.
She was right, though.
And so, I thought I’d take some time today to share that experience with you.
The way this came about, HGTV was contacting local designers to see who might be interested in being featured on the show “Designer’s Challenge”.
They already had a local family lined up, who were eager to get some professional design advice for their somewhat traditional living room.
The premise of the show was that three different design teams would present a completed concept to the homeowners.
By concept, I’m referring to a fully fleshed out solution to their design challenge, complete with drawings, furniture and fabric recommendations, and any other finishes or materials required to complete the project.
So, I partnered with another designer, and together we took on this project.
