Lynette jennings where is she now

S ome pieces were kept, some discarded, and changes were made to make it all work together better and a few accessories were added. A nother dramatic transformation with paint on the walls. Amazing what editing, changing, and painting will do. This is what decorating our homes is all about….. Thank you ALL so much for the well wishes on my new business venture! I refer to your blog on my blog today! I love this book and how Lynette reminds us to trust our instincts.

I don't know why they even include Garden in the network name, there are zero gardening shows. I loved the craft show with Carol somebody too, designing for the sexes and Sara Richardson and I just finished reading a Lynnette Jennings book I checked out from the library! Oh, I love this post! I also enjoyed Design on a Dime. It was amazing what they could do with rearranging stuff, although I always wondered if the other rooms were empty after they finished.

Design on a dime. Loved the show. And I am still proudly designing on a dime. Thanks for reminding me. Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I too enjoyed each and every one of these shows and the calm they would bring to my hectic days.

I would love to see a HGTV reunion show with all those mentioned above. Paige was, indeed, fabulously perky. I'm a sucker for competition shows so I loved Design Star.

The fact that my favorites from Trading Spaces, Vern and Genevieve, were judges was icing on the cake! Well, that was fun! I still have several sets of Chris Madden sheets I bought from JCP for our bed many years ago, and will heartbroken when they become threadbare. Yea, I miss those shows. Have a great week. Enjoy that spring tease! Trading Spaces! I had forgotten about that show! I didn't really watch any of the others but now I love House Hunters.

I absolutely love seeing what houses go for in other parts of the country and the world! To see what kitchens are like in Barbados or how the bathrooms are designed in Ireland SO interesting, and I usually end up feeling very grateful for what I already have. There isn't anything worth watching on HGTV anymore! I do love your blog! Dawn R. Many thanks to Katie. A lot of others don't either.

We can't all be anachronistically wrong. Chuckle , chuckle. I not only miss the personalities of past HGTV, but the variety! It was actually Home and Gardening tv, not real estate tv. We watch one show on that station - Home Town. What's interesting to me is that every time I go to the doctor's office clinic , they have HGTV tuned in on their tv's. I would rather watch the weather channel Real estate tv. Such a pity you can't afford anything you are see. Or the obsessive compulsive food channel.

I dentist office has it on too. But my stay in the waiting room is always short. So I don't mind. Thanks for the chuckle :. I miss the good old days of HGTV! Maybe one day HGTV will bring back the favorites of those of us who have been watching since the beginning. What a great post! I had forgotten about those shows.. I SO relate to this post Katie, I could have written every word. In fact I just googled Kitty B. I smiled at all these old pictures and felt a pang of regret about the 'good old decorating days' hahaha I no longer watch HGTV, besides Fixer Upper I haven't found any thing I'm loving enough to record.

Hope all is well, hugs, Leslie. I definitely relate to it too. My condolences to the young people currently looking to establish their own traditional American middle class style. HGTV doesn't seem to be the place to find help doing it anymore. I was recently trying to remember Kitty's name and now you have provided it. Thanks so much. This was a fun. You mean Matt and Shari weren't married? Just kidding but I was pretty convinced at first that they were.

You know that was the first time I remember a show like that. Loved, loved Kitty!! I have her book around here somewhere. You reminded me of others I had forgotten. Wonder where they are now.

LOVED this post!!! Christopher Lowell probably influenced me the most and taught me not to be afraid of color!!! I do not watch HGTV now at all. I am so not into the new "Farmhouse " look. Too bland for me I miss the old HGTV!! Hugs, Deb. I was a habitual HGTV watcher too. It was a pleasure to watch these shows in the evenings after a long day. BUT I guess all good things must come to an end. Oh my gosh, I remember every one of these shows and loved them all.

I can still hear their voices and tag lines. My husband and I were new homeowners in the middle of renovations and we watched intently. Thanks for this fun post. I just found this blog and all the comments. I was googling Lynnette, who I loved, and found this page. I loved Christopher Lowell's show too.

I still have a faux marble top coffee table that I painted after watching one of his episodes. And Trading Spaces! Another fave! Thanks for all the memories! I also just found this blog and got a kick out of the blast from the past shows. I was totally addicted to HGTV in the 90's. I often wonder how we transitioned from actual decorating shows to marathon house-hunting! Although I do still enjoy an occasional viewing of the Scott brothers or the Gaines so there is still talent out there.

I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home. I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, 1 and 2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie.

I love hearing from my wonderful readers. You can contact me at: preppyemptynester gmail. Reactivate it to view this content.

J Crew Factory JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Search Amazon. Hello, dear friends. We woke us to sunshine and about three inches of snow on the ground.

I can't complain though because the weather peeps are forecasting temps in the 70's for a few days this week. Nothing I like better than a little tease of Spring. Instead of today's Real Housewives' rants and tossing of tables, the sounds of hammering and perky designer hosts filled our home in the 's. I looked forward to seeing my favorite decorating shows every week with the same enthusiasm that I had for meeting an old friend for lunch.

My first and lasting crush was on Kitty Bartholomew. I adored her sense of style, in both design and size double-zero wardrobe. I even thought about putting a grey streak in my hair, but the Mister nixed that idea. I can't help but get a warm smile on my face from perusing pics of Kitty's darling cottage in California. I couldn't get enough of Kitty's clever use of color as well as her mix of checks, chintz, and toile. I could move into this room today and not change a thing.

The Mister would be bothered by all the clutter in her darling kitchen but not me. He would like Kitty's philosophy of cookie in each hand , though. I would wake up in a good mood every day in this peaceful, bright room. My next favorite designer show was Chris Madden's. She was another one where I admired her personal style as well as her interior design.

I bought all of her books and still have them. Candice Olson and her quirky crew always made me chuckle. My Sista and I used to joke that Candice experienced a continuous growth spirt.

In some scenes from her show, she looked 7 feet tall. Speaking of perky, Paige is coming back with a Trading Spaces revival in April. My favorite part of the show was when the receivers of the makeover first see their renovated room. It was so much more interesting when you could tell that they were going to throw up as soon as the camera went off. Remember Michael Payne from Designing for the Sexes? I used to get a kick out of him when he would declare in his crisp British accent, "Let's go shopping!

Even though I watched Lynette Jennings, I wasn't that crazy about her. She reminded me of that PTA mother that liked to encourage "healthy snacks" for field trips and delivered a twenty-minute diatribe categorizing what was healthy and what was not.

I really enjoyed Chris Lowell's show. He was entertaining as well as talented. And last but perhaps least were Shari and Matt from Room by Room. You couldn't find two people more awkward with each other, let alone the television camera. Even though I didn't learn one solid thing from them, they were fun to watch.

Besides, Shari and I shared the same taste in clothes. Did you have any old HGTV faves? Any current ones? Until next time Email This BlogThis! Preppy Empty Nester. Sandy February 18, at AM.
