HGTV Boise Idaho

Today I had the pleasure of volenteering for a new HGTV show...

It was taped here in Boise Idaho

Showhouse Showdown

with former Bachelor star Bob Guiney as the Host of the show!

The premise of the show is two local designers compete in decorating a home.

Both homes are newly constructed and are the same floor plan....

Designers have the same budget and same rules for each home.

This morning 150 local folks got to have the chance to vote on which home they liked best! 

They filmed both Designers winning the show and will air the final show some time in November! 

At this point neither of the designers or the public know who the actual winners were!

Filming was done in the beautiful Boise Foothills as a back drop in

the subdivision Harris Ranch

Both Homes were built by Tahoe Homes

Heard Bob Guiney talking after the show and Boise had the biggest reception of guests from the community of any other location...over 1000 releases were signed by folks that they could be on the show!   

He was a pretty ordinary guy....just doing a job....I couldn't believe how down to earth he was ....just like he appeared on TV.....

I wanted to take pictures but they asked that we didn't so that the show wasn't compromised!!!

It was a great experience...I was the last shift so there wasn't a whole lot to do....but \

Hey

I got a T-Shirt!!!

That's exciting Deborah. It sounds like it was a blast. It will be interesting to see how the 2 houses were decorated and which one got the most votes in November.

Deborah, how fun it would be to volunteer for HGTV.    I have had first time home buyers say ok to be filmed for their show, but never got called.

Hello, does anyone who volunteered know what was used for the kitchen cabinets for both houses? Any information would be much appreciated. If no one knows the make or cabinet color, do you know the name of either or both designers? Thanks a lot.
