Sunday at Your Designer Friend’s loft.  Sometimes a room’s best accessory can’t be purchased from a home decor store.  Timmy snapped this photo an hour ago of Hudson playing (making a soaking mess) in the kitchen sink.

I’ve been horribly neglectful of the blog lately, among other things.  As the filming wraps up and projects come to an end I’ve been focusing on work a bit more than I’d prefer.  Tis the season.  After a week in bed with a cold and some much-needed rest, today I dedicated to Hudson and Timmy, with a few moments to share some holiday tips with you.

The next few weeks will see many exciting updates for YDF.  The filming of HGTV’s Marriage Under Construction is ending next month.  The project has been all-consuming, but spectacularly successful on all accounts.  The design, but more so the show and its reality based yet, almost soap opera style is both brilliant and addictive.  I know you’re all going to love it.  It was a cast and crew which serendipitously came together and documented a couples life and love while renovating an entire house top to bottom.  We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more.  I’m not sure what we’ve done could ever have been planned or scripted.  Reality at it’s best!

The show airs the first week of January in the US, followed by Canada a week after.  Check your local listings for air dates on HGTV,  Monday nights at 9pm.

More design delights coming soon………….
