“Decorating Cents” was one of the most popular shows on Home + Garden Television, HGTV. On air for a long run of 8 years, I was seen as a guest Re-Designer for 5 of those years. The show had 3 parts, I was in the middle.

In part 1, Joan Steffend, our bubbly red-headed hostess, themed a room with the help of a designer. About 12 minutes into the show was the segment that I appeared on, "The Re-Design."

I enter, tell the camera what I didn’t like about the layout of the room + the furnishings get removed. The pieces then get put back as I see it + explain to the viewers the where and why of the new layout. We always go on a “find” + uncover a piece in a different part of the house, usually in the attic or garage. And yes, lots of editing of possessions. Not everything makes the cut back into the room.

When the room was completely Re-Designed, it looks astonishingly different. It’s sometimes hard to believe, even for me, that it’s the same room. In the last segment of the show, Rob got creative with ‘Trash to Treasures'.
