Hi everyone! We're watching the first epi of Summer Home at Karen Sealy's studio in Toronto! You can tune in too on HGTV Canada right now!
Karen arrived a few minutes ago and we're all chatting about how authentic all the trials and design tribulations are on the show! Karen: "I'd arrive on location and the contractor would say, 'Karen, we have a problem,' and I would say, Wait! Don't tell me! Tell me on camera!"
So this is real design DRAMZ! ;)
