TV clip with MINWAX

May 16, 2012 By Stacy 7 Comments

I had a great time meeting the spokesman for Minwax, Bruce Johnson. He is so incredibly nice! He travels all over the US visiting TV stations and sharing tips on staining. He hasn’t ever had another person with him and I have never gone on with another person so I will admit I was a little nervous about how we would go back and forth with out stepping on each others toes, so to speak. Add in 2 hosts that are asking question and it had the potential to get a little crazy. BUT I think it went really well! There was a ton of info we were trying to squeeze into one short segment. One day I will take the time to do a FULL post on my staining tips with pictures and video. But until then, here you go!

KUTV Fresh Living TV CLip : Staining Pine and other soft woods

(Between you and me I think it is annoying that thet don’t have it set up to where I can embed the clip here…..)

Have a great day!!!

KUTV 2 Fresh Living Clip

March 19, 2012 By Stacy 7 Comments

KUTV :: News – Fresh Living – Home Improvement – Turning Shabby Into Chic!.

Here is my clip from today. I hope it isn’t too obvious that I felt terrible. And totally unrelated, they have the highest tables there. It cuts me off at the boobs (my widest spot) and is totally unflattering.

It went pretty well. There are always things I forget to say and things I wish I would have said differently. But It is always a fun experience :)

TV Clip

January 20, 2012 By Stacy 8 Comments

I had fun today! The people at KUTV Fresh Living are so laid back and a lot of FUN! I actually ended up with 2 clips. We split it up. I don’t have a clip for the second segment about the pillow but I can share the main clip with you. They have their video clips set up differently and I can’t embed the actual video clip here. But the link will take you directly to it.

Our family had so much fun with our day out :) I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!

Studio 5 Clip: Outdoor Decor

July 21, 2011 By Stacy 5 Comments

There were a few awkward pauses this time around. But, that’s live TV for ya! I haven’t watched it yet because of that. I am always so critical when seeing myself. I think I will go eat some lunch and then watch it. :)

I can’t get the actual clip to post this time. I am going to try it again but for now you can go HERE to watch it.

Good Things Utah Clip

July 11, 2011 By Stacy 9 Comments

Here is the clip from today! I love doing this show because they make you feel so comfortable. Getting ready for this show made me realize it has been quite awhile since I have built something. I may just have to change that very soon…

Studio 5 clip!

April 27, 2011 By Stacy 8 Comments

I just got home and I haven’t even watched this myself yet, but here you go! I think the segment went pretty well but I embarrassed myself after. I have never had a cell phone before but my husband got a new phone and there is another month left on his old phone si I have used it when I need it. I took it because the producer said to give her a call if anything happened (remember last time???). I am not use to having it and wasn’t thinking about the phone when all of a sudden I get a text from my husband to tell me good job. They were filming the next segment and it was loud! I ran off stage and turned it off. After the segment was done taping Brooke (one of the hosts) yells “WHO”S PHONE WENT OFF!!!” I wanted to die…. I felt so bad.

But over all it was fun and I got to go to lunch with some awesome friends after.

Thanks for linking up your great projects! Don’t forget to enter to win the Epic Letterpress too. Have a great day!

Good Things Utah Clip

March 29, 2011 By Stacy 11 Comments

I think I did better this time around. I am pretty sure I only said “yep” 3 times instead of the 49 times like last time. I didn’t get all the info in there but it went pretty smoothly. They are all so nice over there! Everyone from the producer, to the interns, to the hosts :) LOVE them!!! I am planning on posting a staining guide and also a painting guide that will be on my sidebar all the time. But not today. I got all the garbage bags full of laundry out of the garage last night so today is a laundry party.

Studio 5 clip

March 10, 2011 By Stacy 15 Comments

So my day was a bit crazy. I knew it was going to be a rough one when my baby pooped in the tub. I was trying to hurry and get ready and then had to disinfect him and the tub and then me. My sister came with me and while driving to Salt Lake, someone cut us off and to avoid an accident she slammed on the brakes. My tall lamp went flying and broke in half! I was dying. We were already running a titch late as it was. We stopped at the closest Home Depot (good thing there was one at every exit) and I bought some 1 minute epoxy. We go running into the studio late and with a broken lamp. Nice. I am frazzled and trying not to hyperventilate. I was able to glue it back together and it is actually stronger than before. Everyone was really nice. When it was all over I was able to relax. I am home and all I want to do is take a nap!!!

For some reason the clip has disappeared. But you can still watch it on their site HERE.

Here is the Good Things Clip! It ended up being a lot of fun :)

February 15, 2011 By Stacy 25 Comments

It was a lot like riding a roller coaster. I was scared, nauseous and thinking “What the crap have I gotten into?” and while I was filming it was a kind of an adrenalin rush. Then when it was done I couldn’t wait to do it again :)
