HGTV is looking for amateur designers for a new show where HGTV fans can be a "HGTV Designer for a Day" Guess what? I'm applying for it! You get to work along side an HGTV host to make over a room! I think Joan Steffend from "Decorating Cents" would be the best fit for me! How much fun would that be??? Part of me sees this as an exciting opportunity but another part of me says it's way too scary and I'm out of my league. I'm going for it though because I'm all about living life to the fullest! You never know what your full potential can be unless you push yourself! Right?
Cindy, this is an AWESOME idea! Good for you for taking the chance. Lots of people wouldn't. I can see you working with Joan, that would be a really good match. Good luck!

Cindy...this is great...go for it! I hope you get it, too! :-) Susan
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I'm pulling for you.
ReplyDeleteI am so the opposite of you, Cindy, so thank goodness I can live vicariously through you! You were so calm on the RMS TV show... When I'm nervous I talk too fast and my voice gets high-pitched and I stutter! You'll get it for sure with your decorating talent and with your natural ease in front of a camera!...Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
ReplyDeleteGood luck Cindy! Who knows this could be the start of something BIG!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Joanne
OMGosh, that is so neat! I'm excited for you. Just to have the chance and GIFT to apply is wonderful. You know we are all rooting for you. 'Our' favorite decorator already! The best part of the whole thing is -- that YOU CAN DO IT! Your that good. Praying your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteWendy
Definitely go for it Cindy! You have an amazing talent! Let us know how it goes. Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I think that you would be GREAT!!! I wish you the best. You know thier ratings would go up because we would all watch it.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Ginger
I think you'd be perfect for the job!
ReplyDeleteThat's right!! Go for it!!
ReplyDeleteGo for it Cindy go for it!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the doors that would open for you after this!
How exciting!
Cindy, I think you would be FABULOUS in that!!! Is there a contact person at HGTV who we can email to lobby for you? I know we would all LOVE to see you on a show like that. :)

In no way is this out of your league. Believe me, I have seen what some "designers" do on some of those show, and you would bring much more class in your style. I hope you get it.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Cindy! That's why you are so interesting to us all-you're not afraid to try something.
ReplyDeleteYep, live it to the fullest.
ReplyDeleteYou can never tell.
Ciao
Go for it.
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting, Cindy, but I truly think you under-estimate your talents. You may not be a "trained professional" but in many ways, you are better because you have an amazing natural gift for creating beauty that can't be taught in a classroom. Put your power of positive thinking to work here girl and expect to dazzle those HGTV people just like you have all of your many blog and RMS fans. Best wishes and I do hope you are chosen because I would love to see you get the recognition you are so deserving of!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl, I think you would be grrrreat. Your home looks better that anything I have seen on HGTV and I watch all the good shows. I'll be pulling for you. Wouldn't Joan be fun to work with, I think she is so laid back and down to earth. I'll be putting good vibs out for you.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Pat
Cindy, that is wonderful! I have my fingers crossed for you, I know that you will do a great job!! Good luck and happy decorating!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your thinking and braveness.
ReplyDeleteGo for it girl!
So nice for us that are not as brave to live through you.
Thank you for that!
I hope they pick you.
Bodil.
Good for you, Cindy! I'm proud of you for stepping out of that comfort zone. You would do a GREAT job!!
ReplyDeleteYou go for it girl! Wish I had a bit of your courage to step out of my comfort zone!!
ReplyDeleteAlison
I am positive that you will be on the show!
ReplyDeleteLet me know, when to watch!
Dont' underestimate yourself.
You are so creative and inspiring.
I'm sure it's scary but you are sooo not out of your league.
ReplyDeleteI'll cross my fingers & toes for ya. (I have really long, funky toes so I can do that! ;o) )
Go for it! I'm so excited for you. You would be so great on HGTV! Can't wait to hear more updates from you. :-) ~Arleen

ReplyDeleteYes, Do IT!!! You are wonderful and it will be great to showcase your talents. Please come decorate my room.....LOL...Lorri
ReplyDeleteGood luck~~you're so brave! I'll keep my fingers crossed & say a little prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteAs a fairly new reader to your blog, I am in awe of your beautiful decor and was inspired by your heart giveaway enough to do one of my own! So there's another heart up for grabs over at my blog ladies (and gents!)~this one is a little more "country" though. Thanks!
Cindy,goose bumps came over me as I was reading this.I am so thrilled
ReplyDeletefor you.This could be (will be) the
start of something big for you. You
are so talented!!!! You know we will all be rooting for you. Mimi
Good Luck, Cindy! You would be an absolutely perfect choice! I like Joan Steffend, too! She is my favorite HGTV gal.
ReplyDelete~Jill
Go for it - and keep us posted how it goes. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think this is fantastic idea! GO CINDY!!!
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Cindy! You can do it! I love Joan Steffend!
ReplyDeleteFabulous. You would be awesome at this!!! We will be right by your side rooting for you...I was able to pop into Vintage and Vogue when I was down visiting...and drove past Ebay...I laughed..I had no Idea there was a building. What Salvation Army do you hit? Next time I would like to stop in. Laurie
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Cindy!!! Maybe you can bring my Friday post and the comments with you!lol If we can get you in there maybe just maybe they will listen!!!! Sincerely, Jeannette
ReplyDeleteCindy - you would be perfect at this!
ReplyDeleteYOU MUST GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you need ANY help getting ready, call me. I'd be thrilled to help you with anything at all!!!!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm SO excited that you are doing this, Cindy!
I think this is the perfect venue for you. They are looking for an amature decorator. You are one the more professional amatures here. Just look at Kim Myles, she was a hair dresser.
ReplyDeleteBY ALL MEANS CINDY, DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a major TALENT and should show it off and share it with everyone!!! Going outside of your "comfort zone" is such a brave thing to do; BE PROUD OF YOURSELF GIRL:)
P.S. The toile heart arrived today and it's even MORE BEAUTIFUL than I had imagined. I hunt it up IMMEDIATELY!
Thanks so very much Cindy,
Karen
How exciting!! I'm sure we will be seeing on HGTV AGAIN! :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
~Liz
How fun and scarey! Joan would be the one I would want also. I love to watch Decorating Cents! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be so fun! So glad you are taking the risk to even apply!!!

Tell us what you need us to do and we'll cheer you on....Ann
ReplyDeleteGo for it, Cindy! I think you would be fantastic. And Joan is just the best, too! You've already got SUCH a following on your blog, you can tell HGTV that you can assure them of success when the show airs!!! You do have your groupies, ya know?!?!
ReplyDeleteBig TX Hugs,
Stephanie
Angelic Accents
You should definitely go for it! You set a great example!
ReplyDeletemmmmm...what's that yummy smell...it's the sweet smell of success, that's what it is!
ReplyDeleteTake the risk! I bet you'll be all sorts of happy that you did!
Years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"
ReplyDelete~Author Unknown
You'll be absolutely brilliant at this!!! Dare I say perfect!! If they check out your blog and the comments you get, they'll know they're on to a good thing. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteJackie
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteCongrats - Leaving a comfort zone allows for growth! I'm very proud of you for taking this step.
You certainly have the talent and style to do a great job!
I am new to your site for about a month and I luv it!!! I'm always calling my husband to come and see what I've discovered on it. I am doing my headboard and footboard like the white one you did with the cupid on it. Only I have to wait for one of my boys to move out so I can have a guest bedroom. I am also now hunting down finds at Goodwill, Salvation Army and garage sales. You have turned my creative mind back on after having five kids. Thanks!!! I hope you get your own show!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will soooooooo be pulling for you for hgtv!!! what do you have to do to be selected?
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted!
Wish you all the best!Nothing ventured nothing gained.You would be perfect-their ratings would go up for sure!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn

ReplyDeleteLinda Q
You go girl! I'll have my fingers crossed for you! When will you know?
ReplyDeleteI really don't think you're taking a risk, a chance, or going out of your comfort zone. Otherwise you wouldn't have such a popular blogged focusing on home decor. I think you'd be a natural :)
ReplyDeleteCindy, How exciting!!!! Go for it. I agree, I think you will do fabulous!! Hope you get chosen!!
ReplyDeleteAlright ! Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteYAY, Cindy! And thanks for telling me about it, I had no idea it was happening. Like I told you, I sent my application in too, but I don't think I'll blog about it yet. I bet they will be inundated with people trying to get in there, so I'm not going to hold my breath either, but wouldn't it be fun if we both got picked?!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely HAVE to do it!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Live life BIG!
ReplyDeleteGo for it girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou would be great!!!
Cindy.... you are so humble! What makes you think that Joan Steffand wouldn't be out of her league with YOU? I've never seen her do anything but push a paint roller! You owe it to yourself to apply. We'll all be waiting to hear!
ReplyDeleteCarol
YEAH, you go girl!!!! CHEERS! Michele
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteWow that is such a great idea for a show!! Think positive, that seems to work good for you (; I really believe you'll get it, especially since they already know who you are and how good you decorate!! Good luck!
Hugs~Kelly
Oh my...I just checked the post on my blog where I tried to link to yours and it was WRONG! I fixed it though lol~I'm not a technological wiz. Ooops;)
ReplyDeleteCindy, I'm proud of you!! It's easy to sit back and wish for things but you are jumping right in and giving it your all.
ReplyDeleteNow where do I write to tell them you have to be selected!!!
Best of luck!!
Oh, I particularly love that designer. She's my very favorite! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Wow! Cindy, that would be fantastic! How exciting this would be for you. Hmmm, we could say..."we new her when..." lol

ReplyDeleteand "Break a Leg"
You would not be out of your league! They would probably learn something from You!! I could see you on Decorating Cents! I hope you get to do it!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you. I've thought all along that you have SOOOOOO much talent, it's just a matter of time until you are "discovered." And all your fans are cheering for you!
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it - you remind me of Joan!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I hope you get to do it cause you'd be so awesome. Mimi
ReplyDeleteCindy, GO FOR IT!!!!!! I think it would be fun.

You would be perfect. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting. I really hope you get it.
ReplyDeleteYou got talent-we need people like youon HGTV. Go for it!!
ReplyDeleteCindy, I think you will do just fine. You have done all of these wonderful things in your home and people love to read about them on your blog. When you are unsure of yourself, remember that! You are one talented lady and you have a gift that many people would love to see! If it doesn't work out, well, then, you gave it a shot. You would still be talented. I have a hunch you will do fine-just be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI auditioned to be a showhost for QVC a few years back. It was very exciting!
Good luck!
That's so great, Cindy! I think you would do a fabulous job, and I hope you get it!
ReplyDeleteCindy, it sounds perfect for you!! I hope you get to do this!! :)
ReplyDelete~Becca~
It'd be perfect for you! I'd so watch it!!
ReplyDeleteAnd.. just a thought but, when you run out of room in your home.... have you ever thought of renting a booth at an antique mall/store and selling your projects and treasures?
Michelle, you are the second person today to mention that! I'm going to look into it this week!
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!!I hope you get it! You inspired me ad I applied too! :)
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP!!! You better get it and when you get it . . . YOU BETTER WORK!
ReplyDeleteYOU can do it! I really hope you are chosen.
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! Yes! You would be perfect! I think Joan is a great co-host for you...decorating on a budget. Fingers crossed and many prayers!
