Even though the other contestants in the SHGC competition are my rivals, some of them have shown some good techniques that you can recreate in your own homes, probably for less than it cost them! I'd like to share some of them with you, so I'm working on getting permission from the designers to use their ideas and, hopefully, names and pictures. I of course want to win the contest and I can hold my own, but I think I might continue highlighting the techniques the contestants use even if eliminated. This is just too good an opportunity to pass up!
I'll let you in on a secret... I'm a little starstruck over one of the contestants! She's had a superstar design career even though she's fallen on hard times now. I used to watch her on several shows, and her DIY tips are what gave me the confidence to recreate styles I love. While I reuse furniture because it's inexpensive, she also reuses furniture in an effort to be environmentally conscious. You have to admire that! I hung around during the auditions and found out that she likes rockabilly music just like me. I think we might be kindred spirits, but I'm too intimidated to walk up and say Hi. Maybe I can work up the courage by the end of the show. I can't let this opportunity to get to know her pass me by. I mean, she lives in Sunset Valley now, so maybe we could become friends? I'm off to pace around the floor and second guess myself. Now don't tell anyone my secret! :D
