And the relationships that happen become so intense, deep, involved and complex and really hard to say goodbye to. The hardest part of the show is saying goodbye when it's all done. It really breaks you.
From Genevieve Gorder
I had the idea for the show like a year and a half, two years ago. And it was all about the things that I didn't like about TV. I was trying to create a positive solution for it. And it actually worked.
It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.
So, to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy, that's a great reward.
The birth of any show is always a rough one.
But instead of that stuff you get relationships with people and neighbors that you would never get in a city. People in small towns are a lot more open.
You need to have a home to go back to, whether it's a hotel room or a barn. It's only home when he's there.
Like I said, TLC has enough of my life. I have to keep some of it for myself.
I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.
There's a big difference between decorators and designers and the training is very different.
