Lil' Ol' Me on National TV

Steven_and_Chris_TV_television_appearance_house_tour
Hearing the sound of your voice on the answering machine is strange.  Watching yourself give a tour of your home on national television in the middle of a live studio audience is... surreal.  Today the house tour I filmed a couple of weeks ago and the "on-air" interview I did last week finally aired.  Well, I shouldn't say finally - I am actually sort of stunned by how fast this all happened!  I have only watched it once - my neighbour kindly lent me her keys so I could bring the kids over to see it as it aired.  They weren't even home, but we don't have cable,  and the boys were thrilled to see their rooms on TV.

I will post more about it tomorrow, but I leave you with the link: http://www.cbc.ca/stevenandchris/2012/11/lisa-mackays-wicked-decor.html

Gosh, my palms are starting to sweat just posting that image!  Thanks to everyone at Steven and Chris, they were so sweet.  The videographer was fantastic, the producer kept me calm and succinct, the senior producer had it all organized perfectly, and Steven and Chris were charming and kind.  It was a fabulous experience - one I never would have thought I would be blogging about - and I am so happy my mom got to be there too! Sadly the online clip doesn't show the studio segment with my mom and I, (neither of us had any idea they were going to mic her!), because she looked great. :)  Oh, and in case you are wondering, no - my house never, ever, ever looks this clean.

  7. Lisa that is so exciting and you did a fantastic job!!! I can't believe there is so much of your house I hadn't seen before. You obviously should have been speed cleaning and taking us all on video tours of your house ages ago. You looked so relaxed - it turned out fantastic. Is there a place where we can see your actual appearance on the show, not just the tour?

    1. Thank you Sylvia! However, without the lighting, direction and mad editing skills of the CBC crew, there is no way I am going to be posting videos any time soon! :) They know how to make a girl look good. I am not sure about the show, still searching for a full link. I'll keep you posted! And I must email you about Monday - looks like I can go!

  10. Hello, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.

    When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening
    in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.

    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, amazing blog!
