Remember when we told you a while back that HGTV stopped by to film us for their show Rate My Space? Well, our episode is finally scheduled to air this week! So plan a date with your couch (or your DVR) for Thursday, Dec 18th at 9pm e/p to catch us in live action (does that scare you as much as it scares us?).
HGTV’s Rate My Space is based on their popular website where people can post photos of their homes to get rated by other users (of course we posted our whole house in hopes that people would find our blog). For the TV show, HGTV selects rooms with low ratings and gives them makeovers based on higher rated rooms. And since the episode description on the Rate My Space site kinda reveals this anyway, we can finally tell you that our master bedroom was picked as an inspiration room for its “spa like” qualities. Flattering, right? We’re still blushing.
We haven’t seen any of the footage ourselves so our fingers are crossed that we don’t look like total dweebs on camera. It’s not like we expect to look like bona fide TV hosts or anything, we’re just hoping for a few full sentences and no incoherent babbling. Ah well, we’ll only be on for 3 or 4 minutes anyways so how bad can it get? Wait a minute, don’t answer that. And we’re really excited to see how the final makeover turns out in the room that we helped inspire. They had only started painting when we saw shots of it during the taping so we’re really looking forward to the big reveal.
Don’t get HGTV? Busy on the 18th? Check out the episode page for re-run times and stay tuned (once it’s aired) for a link to the whole thing online (assuming we’re not hiding under a rock somewhere). Plus, we’ll follow up next week to get your take on the episode and dish out some more behind-the-scenes details about everything from the process to the host and the homeowners.

Ooh, yay! I can’t wait!!
(I’m totally surprised they don’t let you view the segment before it airs. I had no idea. I’m sure you guys did great, but I’d want a preview!)
DJ says
Congratulations! It is a lovely room.
Blayne says
Oh wow that’s amazing! I put my house on there but its one of the low rated ones. Maybe if they pick us for the show you guys can be on it again ;o)
Jenny says
You should get a local bar in Richmond to have a “show release” party!

I was just wondering yesterday when your episode would air, so it’s funny you’d post about it today! The DVR is already set, and The Office and Grey’s are both reruns, so you’ll have my full attention, and I can hardly wait!
