Family Room reDesign Part IV


Murano glass lamp

Today was the equivalent of 4 regular days for me - I went to a shoot at a vintage lighting store for the show reDesign, came home and did some chores around the house, did another shoot at home and went to a Lakers' game. Pictured is the gorgeous one-of-a-kind Murano glass lamp that Kenneth and I picked out for our new family room, which is scheduled to air sometime early next year. It's kind of weird that someone like me, who is really pretty camera shy, is spending so much time in front of a camera. Actually, it feels like I'm in a long-running drama, but really most of what I'm doing for the camera will get cut in the editing room, because the show is only 30 minutes. Maybe ours will be the first show that will have a "To Be Continued." We have spent the equivalent of 2 working days on tape so far and our room hasn't even been seen by a contractor. That goes to show you how much behind-the-scenes junk that goes into a show, even a small-time cable production. Can you imagine how much footage they must shoot for a movie?!! I'm getting really excited about how the room is going to look, while Joe is getting more and more nervous, mainly because of the dark wallpaper they're going to put on the walls. This is going to be the most controversial show ever aired on HGTV, because of Joe's skepticism. The producer loves it, though. "Keep giving us more crotchety."
