The entry piece they want to re-create
The day of the shoot..lights, camera, action... OMG!
Another entry shot....
They also wanted the fireplace...I love my hubby for building this for me and finishing it in very short notice due to the show! (phew)
The fireplace/family room shot!Hey Lisa,We’re still on for the 14th! We’ll shoot from roughly 11am till about 5 or 6pm (including setup time). Our day will consist of some setup shots, the interview, and our live video conference, with the RMS couple and Angelo. As far as the questions for the interview, they should be no surprise, they’ll be focused on the piece in the entryway. We were also hoping to incorporate a few bites about the mantle over the fireplace. After seeing it on the video, we wanted to incorporate it as we’re building our mantle as well. I know that your project isn’t quite finished yet. Lastly I wanted to see if your husband was available for the shoot as well. I know it’s coming up quick! (That’s our production schedule for you!). I’ll shoot you over the questions by the end of the week.Best,xxxxxx
I have hesitated to say anything for several reasons but honestly think it's time to share one of the most awesome experiences of my LIFE!!
This has been one of the most scary, exciting, times of my life and I did not want to lose the opportunity so I went for it and threw caution to the wind, and faced fear HEAD ON!......It was TOTALLY worth it! I have no clue what we will look like or how we acted on the taping I was afraid to look and see myself looking stupid so I have no idea what they will keep and what they won't! (Yikes) The best part of all of this was receiving the email the day of my anniversary (April 21st) and how fitting that my husband read it first and then said "honey I have a present I think you will really like come and see it" He's so silly! But he sure took me off guard with that...I read the first email a thousand times thinking "is this for real" are you serious? my home? My first instinct was "no way" this is national TV..then my husband said "honey we have always worked really hard decorating our home why not be proud of OUR work and have it seen? He really is my "hero" and my rock! Hope you all enjoy the show and I hope we all tune in together and support one another! The producer asked that I not show his picture so this is the only one I could show, I respect his privacy and his wishes.....but want to thank him sincerely for making us feel so comfortable and making this so much easier than we ever anticipated!
Cheers~~~French and Kilt (aka Lisa and Gordon)

Frenchfry, we all anxiously await the upcoming show. I have no doubt that it will be superb and I can't wait to see you and Gordon visiting me in my home. (via the TV unless you want to come for dinner that night). Carol
WOW Lisa, I had no idea. CONGRATULATIONS to both you and your husband for a job well done. I'm wondering if they over looked the pictures of your friends home because you two girls did an awesome job there as well. Let us know when it will be on so we don't miss your close up!! Twin
French!!! I am so excited for both you and Gordon! I will be tuned in for sure. Hugs! Donna
My lil' "French Fry"~~~ This has all been SOOOO very exciting, especially for those of us who are ALREADY your friends and admirers! I often stop lately (right in the middle of what I'm doing!), and just think about it ~ you re so deserving!!! CAN'T WAIT to watch you and your Gordo on film, showing and sharing your spaces ~~~ Gosh, we're all just soooo proud of you"!!!
