The home tour I filmed back in February is finally live!! It had been delayed and delayed so many times that I started to lose hope that it would ever be published. We filmed the first week of February and it was a huge production. Definitely the biggest shoot I’ve ever been a part of, including magazine shoots I’ve done. There were many cooks in the kitchen. (And now, months into a pandemic, I can’t believe I had that many strangers in our house in the first place.)
I was serving as a bit of a guinea pig for future projects so there were two additional teams “on set.” (I.e. in our house!) It was two full days of shooting and involved at least twenty people, but probably closer to thirty. I lost track of counting. Because it’s interactive, the script we followed was intense. We had to film a ton of options for every single question and potential answer. As crazy as it was, I absolutely loved the whole experience. Did I feel like I was on my own HGTV show? Yep.
You can watch the home tour here. You can walk through every room with me 🥰

I look forward to reading your blog every day, it’s such a bright spot, even when you’re having a hard time. Just bringing real! I’d love to listen to your podcast. You know so many cool people, you would have such a great variety of guests. And I just love hearing about your every day life. Cooking, decorating, shopping, dogs, wedding planning…all nice things 🙂
