That sounds interesting, actually. I've always been a little fascinated by set design.

Thanks for the tip, TheFoxesPad. I'm not sure if I'll remember that next week. If you think of it, would you please remind us next week.

Here's a great website if you like set design. It has a couple of those shows on there. I'd love to hear what HGTV says about the set for The Middle. The color scheme in that house is wild.

And they have been advertising a couple of other new shows....keeping our fingers crossed.

What I have noticed lately (now that I'm around the TV during the day sometimes is there are decorating and gardening shows on during the day....it's at night when they do those HH shows over and over.... And the weekends seem to have more variety too. I guess if you have a favorite, it might still be on, just at odd times.

I think I'll tune in just to see the sets of The Good Wife. Now if they would only have their wardrobe people, too.

Chickadee, thanks for that link.

Loved this one ... reminds me of some of the discussions here. ;)

If you are interested in the set decoration on these TV shows you should go directly to the source to read about them. The Set Decorators Society of America website has info on the set decoration process for film television commercials and other media...

Maybe it's my cynical nature, but TheFoxesPad comments on this and other threads sound an awful lot like product placements.

mjlb, TheFoxesPad is our own TTodd who recently changed her name. Her posts are not spam.

I'm glad you mentioned TTodd changed her name. I had not Idea. That's why I felt like I knew TheFoxesPad, but couldn't remember that name from before. Thanks Fun2BHere.
It sure would be nice if HGTV made a good comeback. I do still try and check out new shows now and then.
Thanks for the heads up TFP!

That would be fun to see! Thank you!

The White Room Challenge debuts tonight, those were my favorite challenges on Design Star so hopefully it'll be a decent show worth watching each week.

mjlb, maybe it's my cynical nature, but TheFoxesPad (ttodd) shares as much, or more, of her own true decorating, than most posters here. I have never noticed her spamming.

Let's see - we've seen her awesome flat-screen gallery wall, her beautiful pink painted table, just recently after changing her name. And hundreds of posts showcasing her talents under her old name ttodd.

Although I am tired of the same old shows on HGTV, I did watch Laura Spencer's (from Good Morning America)design show last Saturday night. I can't remember the name of the show, but she likes to shop thrift stores and estate sales to create a room. I thought it was a good and something different.

I saw that show too with Lara Spencer...It was some flea market flip or something like that.

I think tonight a new show starts-The white room challenge or something like that. I'm pretty sure it's HGTV.

Thanks guys - I'm quite humbled by your lovely words of my attempts to cobble things together and create something out of almost nothing!

Would def. like to check out the Laura Spencer show. Will have to google that. I have the White Room Challenge DVR'd. Will watch it tomorrow during DD nap.

There was another new show that was to be on HGTV and I had it set up to record but they aired an episode of HH International instead. Was kind of bummed but didn't dwell.

Hooked On Houses is a fun blog to visit!
