I JUST GOT AN EMAIL FROM THE PRODUCER! THEY ARE COMING ON TUESDAY TO FILM....YIKES! I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO AND THE TIMING COULD NOT BE ANY WORSE BECAUSE I'M WORKING ON A HUGE PROJECT AT WORK! I JUST CALLED THE CARPET CLEANERS AND LEFT A MESSAGE...I SURE HOPE I CAN GET MY CARPETS CLEANED FRIDAY! I'M SO STRESSED, EXCITED, SCARED, HAPPY, WORRIED....
update: I should have mentioned that I will be on a new show based on the HGTV Rate my Space website. They take a room from there that wasn't rated very well and make it over. The homeowner gets to pick inspiration from other homes on the website. Someone chose my armoire as their inspiration...who knows maybe she even reads my blog...I don't know. I put my blog address on some of my rooms I have posted there and I know some of you have found me that way. Angelo from 24-Hour Design is going to be the host of this new show which is starting to air in June!
Here is a link to my place on RMS.

Congratulations, Cindy, and wow was that fast! Don't worry--with all the beautiful things you have no one will even notice the carpet!
Congratulations! I'd be in a dead panic! But what fun....tell us what show you will be on.
Cindy,
What a thrill for you. It will be so fun to be able to feel like I actually know someone on HGTV. Isn't it something that us bloggers feel such a knowing of eachother when few of us have actually met in real life.
It has been really fun watching your journey in blogging and now into another media, TV. We are all so happy for you.
Hugs,
Sue

YEAAAAAA! Congratulations! But, of course, this comes as no surprise to your adoring fans in blogland. I think you are on your way!
Debbie from homewithhospitality@yahoo.com
I to re-read your post because at first I thought you said YOUR room didn't get highly rated. I was going to say there was something wrong with that. Then I read that someone else's room didn't get highly rated and they wanted to use YOUR things for the room make over.
How exciting! Can't wait to see the show. Be sure to let us all know when to watch.
I bet you are so proud. After all the years of hard work you have put into your home you should be proud. I would be.
Joanne
You go girl! Thats amazing! I'd be panic stricken though! You have done so much and been such an inspiration to so many!

This is so exciting. All of us who are regular readers of your blog know how inspirational your ideas and projects are. You have given us all many wonderful ideas. I'm so very happy for you. You are so deserving of this. I will be anxiously waiting for the show. Again, congratulations!~
Congratulations! I visited the site and enjoyed seeing all your spaces. Can't wait to see the show!
Cindy, It's so wonderful! We all are behind you, your home is great! I would say not to stress--however, I know I would too! We all will be waiting to here the air date. Your friend, Deb G.
Congratulations! You deserve to be on HGTV. Your house is amazing.
Hi Cindi, it's deborala from rate my space. congratulations on being selected for the show. A HGTV producer contacted me as well to use my living room as an inspiration room for the show .. however, as you know, the production goes very fast and I am having windows installed this week (actually work is stalled today because of rain) and begin a complete gut of my bathroom next week, then exterior painting. All of these upgrades are really exciting for me because (being a single mom!!) I've waited and saved for years to get it done. The production crew would have to film in my house no later than the 19th of May ... I got really excited about it when I talked to the producer but I just don't want to stop my renovations ... I feel really sad that I'm missing such an exciting opportunity but I will take great pleasure in seeing your house featured. Have fun with it.
Hi Cindi, Its deborala from rate my space. Congratulations on being selected for the show. Your rooms definately are inspirational. A producer from the show contacted me as well to use my living room as an inspiration room for a show that they will be doing. I was so excited and all set to do it until he told me that they needed to have the production crew in my home no later than May 19th. As you know the prodution goes very fast. I am having windows installed this week (actually rain has stalled the project and it will not be completed until later next week), then a complete gut and renovation of my bathroom, then new doors and the house gets painted. (Being a single mom) I have waited and saved for years to do these upgrades to my home and I don't want to postpone them .... so I decided not to do the show. I'm really sad about that but I will take great pleasure in watching your home be featured. Have fun with it!
Cindy, this is all just so exciting. I definitely want to see that show.
Have fun.
How exciting! Please let us know when "your" show will air.
Blessings
Linda
Hi Cindi, I am very happy for you, I love your apartment, I think a new super star born, don't worry. Please let me know the day exact of the show, I don't want missed
That is amazing...congratulations!
Omg. I got butterflies for you. Congratulations and good luck!!
hi
Sorry for all the posts Cindi, I was trying to figure out how to post and I guess i got it right the first time and didn't realize it. So happy for you!!! Deb aka deborala from rate my space.
Cindy,
That is so exciting... I love RMS and I love your blog. You are an inspiration to me also. Last weekend I painted an old white wicker love seat black...a bit unusual for me, but if Cindy can go with black... You can see my attempt at being Cindy at my blog... Women all over the US are looking to you for inspiration! You go girl!
After months of lurking, I have to come out and say congratulations! HGTV has chosen very wisely:)
Hi!
I am thrilled that you are going to be on HGTV. Maybe next you will have your own show!!!!
Of course you are nervous and all of those other emotions that go along with it. But don't feel like you need to do so much--your home is beautiful.
I haven't watched HGTV in a couple of years. They took all my favorite shows off (Country Living, Kitty Bartholomew & even stopped showcasing the viewer's homes on Decorating Cents) .... all the make-over shows just don't interest me much but I'll tune in to this one...congrats!
Oh my gosh.... that is soooo exciting... I know you must be going nuts.... I wish we could all come and help you. I'm glad you didn't have to wait long to hear from them...ohmygosh....Cindy is going to be on TV...Cindy is going to be on TV...wooohooo
Hugs
Linda
Cindy, how wonderful!!! I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see the show. Don't panic, all will be fine.
Cindy,
Be sure and let HGTV know to expect a dramatic spike in their ratings when your segment airs! :-)
I am so happy and excited for you. This honor is well deserved.
Congratulations Cindi
We will all want to be notified when that episode is on! Try to relax and just enjoy the experience. It will be fun.

Betty in Oklahoma
How exciting! Tuesday? Boy, they don't waste any time. Be sure to keep us posted on how the filming goes and when the show will air. Good luck!
Before I found your blog, I never even saw one before but you got me hooked. I absolutely love to see everything that you've done on your home - especially knowing that you do it on finds from garage sales, etc. I adore garage sales but up here in NY, we don't have them year round -- more like from April to October. I love going to the "rich" areas and getting gorgeous expensive pieces for very little. Even though are homes are very different (yours is cottagy, mine more old world), I love seeing how you take your items and fix them, paint them, display them, etc. I laugh 'cos you love to paint everything white while I practically paint everything black. Talk about opposites. But, we each know what we like and how to make something what we want it to be. Congrats on HGTV contacting you. I hope that everything goes well. I'll be thinking of you on Tuesday. Don't fret too much -- remember, they already like what they saw! Joanne
Hi Cindy -- I have never even seen a blog until I saw yours. Now, I am addicted. Your home is so beautiful and, the best part, is that you've done it all with bargain pieces at bargain prices. I'm up here in NY and we don't have garage sales all year long -- just from April - maybe October. Winter can be very long when you're waiting for the "thrill of the hunt". Your decor is so different from mine but I love your home and what you do. I laugh when you paint everything white 'cos I practically paint everything black. Congrats on being chosen. Well deserved.
Oh Cindy way to go girl, I stopped by the other day on RMS and told her you would make it, your home and all you do is just beautiful and I am so glad that HGTV see this also. How super for you. I will be watching you on TV. Congrats and you rock girl.
WOW!!! What an honor!! That's so exciting!! Congrats, and I can't wait to read about the experience!
Hi Cindy,
Congratulations & good luck.It will be fine stop stressing.I'm so happy for you.
Take care
Chris
be sure and let us know when it will be on. this must be so exciting for you!
CONGRATS Cindy,
I cannot wait to see you and your lovely home on HGTV. Please keep us posted as to when you will be on. Don't be nervous, you have alot to be proud of! Chris
Congrats, Cindy! Can't wait to see your episode on HGTV. We'll all be watching.
Rhoda
Congratulations Cindy! :) You totally deserve this! It wasn't until just a couple days ago that I found out that your home is an apartment! This whole time I thought it was a huge house! Just goes to show how lovely your sense of design is that you could make me think that! :) Enjoy it!
Mere
Wow! Congrats Cindy! I've always wanted to be featured on HGTV - although I've always joked that my husbands and my projects start out as "Weekend Warriors" and then turn into "DIY to the Rescue". Anyway, congrats again - please let us know when the show will air. :-)
Cindy, I am so happy and excited for you. What a dream come true. First magazines now tv. Your landlord should give you a free months rent just because~~~~~~ Please let us know for sure when it is on.
Best of luck to you,
ginger
Way to go, Cindy! You will have to let us know when the show will be airing!!...Donna
74 comments. I couldn't believe it. I started not to make a comment thinking 74 was enough, but shucks. I decided why not be number 75. That sounds like a good number. I'm so excited for you. I can hardly wait to see it on TV. Be sure to keep us posted on when it will air.
Hugs & Blessings,
Charlotte
Congratulations! I love your decorating style. :)
