Jelly Belly on TV!
One of my dear friends is a interior design student (from Kuwait) and she was picked to be a part of an interior design show on HGTV (Home & Garden Television) She has to design a bedroom for a young newlywed couple...she called me up a week ago to ask me if I would like to be a part of the show and help her out...at first I was a bit hesitant to be on TV...although my major is broadcasting management, I like to work behind the camera not infront of one...so I decided at the end to help her out since she really needed all the help she can get!
I got there early in the morning and our job was to paint the walls...I have never painted a wall before but it was a fun project and a pretty good workout too ;)
although we painted the walls, tomorrow the pros will come in to finish up the paint job and add different colors to it for the final look (I can't wait to see it)
She decided to go with a Moroccan theme to the room and I'm in love with all the pieces she got (Although I think the stuff she bought was overly priced even after the discount...I kept thinking how cheap she could find these stuff back in Kuwait) she has to work with a budget of 3000 dollars and get everything for the room within the budget...I have to say I'm impressed she did very well (al7emdallah) so tomorrow or I should say today since it's almost 2:30 AM I need to go there and help her again for the finale!
I can't wait to see how everything will turn out...I'm very proud of her...she's very talented and gifted...so people you have to watch the show on HGTV...they said it should be aired sometime in November! for all the rest of you back in Kuwait I will post pictures of the room when they broadcast the show...I can't show the pictures until the show is on air!
But I have included some pictures of yesterday's work.
This is me "screwing" LOL
I was putting all the pieces togetehr for the ceiling fan.
posing for the camera with one of our friends mom ;)
The two contractors for the show...really cool guys...they were my smoking buddies...LOL
our local ABC News showed up for the story.
My friend and the TV crew.
