After 4 months I can finally tell you about the TV show I am participating in! I was contacted a few months ago by a casting company in New York to see if I would be interested in participating in a new home show for TLC. The series would be filmed in several cities and each episode would feature one city and four homeowners.
The show is called ‘Four Houses’ and it begins airing with the New Jersey episode on July 2nd at 10pm EST. The Austin episode (which I am in) is scheduled to air on August 6th at 10pm EST.
This is the only photo I’ve found for the show and I assure you it is not from the Austin episode! It was mid- May when we filmed and it was already in the mid- 90’s. Was it hot!
The premise of the show is similar to the popular “Four Weddings” show, where 4 brides compare their wedding plans to see whose plans are ‘best’. We had 4 distinct home styles and believe me, it was a very interesting experience.
I can appreciate a wide range of design styles (from traditional to contemporary), even though I don’t decorate that way at home. So, going into the show I expected that even though our styles were different, I would still be ‘wowed’ and appreciate what each home owner had done with their space.
That was not the case. After this experience, I am so thankful for my home and my style. I have absolutely no doubt that my design choices were the right choices for me and my lifestyle. It is interesting that it would take a TV show to really teach me how much people’s lifestyle and personality are reflected in the style of their home.
I can’t wait to see the episode on air. While filming the show, I have never been so personally offended, nor laughed so hard in my life. It was a great experience and I don’t regret a moment of it! I’ll remind you when it is on and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!
So proud of you Heather! What a well-deserved honor for you!
Can’t wait to hear all about it Heather! So excited for you and am looking forward to the show! Congrats!!!
This is so exciting Heather! Can’t wait to watch!!
Fantastic!! Congrats…
I saw the most wonderful piece of furniture on this weeks episode and I would love to know from Angie in Texas, where she found the large rugged leather chaise in her living room. It was beautiful. Thanks Sharon from Michigan
Your comments about kitchens is soooo right. Who puts wire shelving in their kitchen? I’m disappointed you didnt win. I lived in Milwaukee-Chicago area for most of my life, except for recently in AZ (Flagstaff)-and I appreciate your design techniques/theories Alot.
