TV show looking for area homes
“Designers’ Challenge,” a remodeling show on cable’s HGTV network, is coming to the Seattle area and is looking for homeowners with a nonconstruction design project that has a minimum budget of $35,000.
On each episode of “Designers’ Challenge,” the homeowner meets with three local designers who make a presentation on how they would design the project room. The homeowner chooses his or her favorite design, which is then completed. The designer of the chosen plan donates time and talent in exchange for national exposure.
Once the project is complete, “Designers’ Challenge” returns to videotape the final results.
