It was tons of fun - our room is still the same as it was on the TeeVee - we are still in love with it today!
Megan and John, on the other hand, don't get to keep their room as they are relocating to Canada this weekend. Megan gave me all the extra fabric from the couch that I reupholstered for them on the show, and I thought it would be fun to make them an owl using the fabric - you know, to remember us by...
Meet Jackson!
Jackson is made from the two main couch fabrics and the houndstooth fabric that we used for throw pillows... I named him Jackson after one of our favorite guys on the crew - he was one of the first guys to show up on Day One... at around 7:00am... where he proceeded to jump out of his rental car, stand in the middle of the street, and scream at the top of his lungs... this was before he introduced himself to us... we assumed he was part of the show... luckily we were right...
Here's a pic of me and Christi Proctor (and Mike the sound guy) working on the couch and a chair in the afternoon on Day One of our episode...
Here's a pic of me at 3am on Day One of our episode - I had been working on this couch for about 16 hours straight at this point and am totally happy about it...
Wow - what a difference 50 pounds makes, huh? Thanks WW!
Megan and John - I hope you guys have a great adventure up there in Canada-land... and if you ever need somebody to reupholster a couch in two days while filming a TV show... I think I might be busy that weekend...
