It was so hard to keep the secret for 7 months (we shot this back in March), but we were featured on HGTV in the beginning of October, and our episode will re-air again October 20th and Nov.21st! Due to production contract terms, we were not able to announce publicly about our episode until after it aired, but we hope if you’re reading this in time, you can catch the re-air dates! The show is called, “What’s Wrong With That House.”

It was such a fun experience being on the show and so exciting to get that call from the production team last spring! One morning, I was sitting at my computer working, when my phone went off and it was a text and email from a TV producer. She mentioned the host of the show, Noel Gatts, a local interior designer and actress, follows my Sew Lovely page and work on Instagram, and wanted to have me on the show! I was super excited to hear all the details and do the project!

They picked out a few fabrics from my website, as well as some budge friendly ones from Joann Fabrics. They had to keep it pretty budget friendly, since it was one of those redesign shows and the home owners had to stick within their budget. The fabric they selected from our shop is called, “Embroidered Dove.” It’s such a pretty choice and traditional style, in fact, I chose it once for my own dining room a few years ago! (I change out my shades and curtains often here, since I can! HA!) But it’s a lovely fabric! They also chose one from Waverly for the office space, a check pattern, that was super nice and cost efficient.

We made a total of 3 shades for the HGTV show, one pretty wide one for the office and then 2 for the kitchen space. We also made 2 curtains (straight top for rings) for the living room. We installed all of the window treatments, as well. The new window treatments really helped transform their space and the owners seemed very happy when they did the reveal!

The shoot took just a few hours and it was really fun to meet Noel and Joe (Home Inspector Joe). Everyone on set seemed very chill and friendly! They interviewed us for longer than what aired but I was happy with our air time, as I was expecting even less time. I know, working in the TV biz myself for 20 years, they do a lot of editing, post production, so even the 30 seconds of air time was fun! They mentioned they’d like us to do future shows, so we are very excited about that possibility !

You can watch the full episode (Episode 6 “What’s Wrong with That House”) on HGTV on youtube or catch it live on October 20th and Nov. 21st. Check local listings for times.
