In January when I went to ALT I had the opportunity to hear a very talented woman named Krista speak. She is the Communication Manager for Nate Berkus. After she spoke I went up and talked with her. Not only is her accent beautiful (she grew up in South Africa) but she was incredibly nice. I threw out some ideas of how I could work with them to help promote Nate’s new show, American Dream Builders. Don’t you just love Nate? I just know we would be antiquing BFFs if we lived closer….
One of the ideas that I proposed was to highlight a room from the episode each week and show how you could recreate the look for yourself. The designers on the show create high end rooms. But I know most of us can’t afford the high end prices. So I will be having a new series here on the blog where I compiled ideas to get the look for less :)
Here is how it works:
I get a sneak peek of the rooms and I pick one to recreate on a budget. The show airs every Sunday evening. Then every Monday morning I will post a picture of the room I picked and all the items I have found that are less that what was spent for the original room.
I am calling the series More or Less and I can’t wait to show you! I have my post all ready for tomorrow morning :) So watch the show tonight (Sunday) on NBC and then tune in here Monday morning.

Looking forward to watching and seeing what you share on your blog. Way to go for it!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is sooo neat!!!!
I do not shop but I did get to go to Target last fall and my daughter picked out all these neat things on their reduced rack–all by Nate Berkus and we loved and got so much of his stuff for her place. I’m setting my recordings!!!!!
Wow!!!
You’ve got the inside scoops into the famous so we can get the cheapo hints to do for less!!! Thank you :-)
I have the COOLEST COUSIN – can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Jay and Nina’s living room. The round beige wall décor on the wall, with the sofa facing it, is what I am Really interested in. Thank you for your help.
