When the Steven and Chris show called to feature my home in 2 weeks I said yes – sure, no problem, the rooms are pretty done! Boy, was I wrong. There were things I lived with that I wasn’t happy with (like my perfectly fine brown sofa) and couldn’t stomach the thought of being on national television showing these rooms. Sure, I could have turned it down in hopes that I could be featured later (but they already had another blogger lined up after me and they stop taping in April.) Sometimes, you just have to step out of your comfort zone and go for it!
So, I went about getting my trades/suppliers on board to paint, install hardwood (one room), slipcover, wallpaper, build and sew. They all delivered! Thank you to all of them. I shopped, re-arranged my art wall, fluffed etc.
This is a sneak peak with my new slipcovered sofas, re-arranged art wall and my beautiful new pillow from Chanee’s new Spring 2012 line.
Wish me luck!
This is SO EXCITING, Vanessa! And what better way to get all your "one of these days" projects done than by having a TV camera crew descend upon your house! The little peek at your living makeover looks great - can't wait to see more :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck today, and HAVE FUN!
Congrats, Vanessa ! That is so exciting, can't wait to see everything.
