Good morning friends! Most of you that follow us on social media have heard our fun news… Our pilot is airing this weekend! It’s called Open Concept and it airs on HGTV this Sunday, September 20th at 1pm CST/ 2pm EST!
To say we are excited would be a bit of an understatement! So… What is the show about?? Here is the description from HGTV.com.
Sisters, Whitney and Ashley tear down the walls of Brooke and Dack’s boxy house. Four small rooms become one large open concept space that is the perfect home for entertaining. They use their mad carpentry skills to fill the home with 16 pieces of custom furniture they make for a fraction of the cost it would be in store. The end result is a stunning reveal of the living room, kitchen, family room and laundry.
Basically, we tore down the walls to bring a family together, and then we built them the furniture to fill it up!
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP! This is a pilot episode for HGTV. If the ratings are good, the network will pick the show up for a series. So, we need you to watch the pilot, and we need you to SHARE the heck out of it! It would mean the world to us.
We will be doing some awesome tool giveaways on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter over the next 48 hours leading up to the show and we will also be doing live Periscope videos before and after the show as well as live tweeting, so make sure to follow us on all of our social platforms!
So many of you have told us you will be having watch parties! That makes our hearts so happy! Please, please send us photos of your parties so we can share them with everyone!
Here are a couple of photos you can save and share!
We had an amazing time along the way.
This was the first day of filming and meeting the sweet family that we helped out!
And demo day…
And the final day when we got to share our work with the family and cut the cake after we wrapped!
We are extremely thankful for this entire opportunity, and so many people that have walked the journey with us. We are thankful for our families. We are thankful for our stepdad (that will make more sense after you watch the show 😉 ) We are thankful for all of you guys and your continued support. We are thankful for RTR Media, our production company in Canada. We are thankful for Lindsey Weidhorn, from Scripps who has surrounded us with a great team. We are thankful for our sweet friends, Lauren and Stephen Alvarez. They were our producers, and quickly became like family.
That’s about it!
Please tune in, and share away! You guys are amazing, and have always been an incredible support for us. We can’t believe that we have been given this opportunity, but we are so thankful for it. We know this plan is none of our doings. It is much bigger than us, but we are thrilled to be along for the ride.
Thanks friends!
Whitney and Ashley
Just caught this by accident. Loved it! Hope there will be lots more episodes. Your designs are great, very talented.
Thank you so much Anna!! 🙂
Thank you so much, Anna!
Sorry, didn’t mean to offend, but it really is time to wean her. On a brighter note, I do like the fact that you two give specific tips/directions on how to make some of the pieces you do. On other shows, we don’t get that information.
Thank you!
I have to comment on the scene in a vehicle. A girl in the backseat, who was at least five years old, had a pacifier in her mouth. Really?! She is way too old for that!
Thanks so much! She had just turned four. If that is the biggest fault I have as her parent that’s alright with me 😉
Loved it – hope they pick up the show for more episodes!!
Thank you Lauren!
I saw the show Sunday accidentally also. I’m so glad I caught it. I love you guys and am watching the rerun I taped right now. You girls are so talented and I really hope this show gets picked up. I love how y’all build all your own furniture…that’s so awesome. And let’s girls know they can do that stuff too.
I’m a huge Fixer Upper fan, and let me just say…you guys are gonna give Jo a run for her money. I would be glued to this show also each week and hope it gets picked up. Oh I’m from Paradise, Tx…so it’s cool to see some Ft Worth girls representing Texas !!!
Such a sweet compliment! Thank you :))
I happened upon the show Sunday too and loved it. I really love that you give plans to make your projects here!!! That is wonderful. I am going to make the harvest table…I love it! And the savings over buying a table are tremendous. HG better pick you up if they know what is good for them! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Hank you so much Carla!! Please send us finished shots when you are done 🙂 good luck!!!
Best show!! Great job ladies!! Here’s my official Open Concept Recap: http://www.thehometeamblog.com/hgtvs-open-concept-the-official-recap-of-episode-1-the-nicholson-house/
how do I watch this show, i missed it
Hey Sara! We have been told they will probably re air it at some different times… As soon as we have an update we will let you know!
I also happened upon this pilot by accident and LOVED it! I don’t think HGTV did you justice in promoting this show, but I do hope they pick it up as a series! So, the big question now is – WHEN WILL YOU FIND OUT?! 🙂
Hopefully soon so we don’t both continue to stress eat :-)) Thank you for your support! We will keep you guys posted!
Loved the show! I’ve been following your blog for years and was so excited for you girls. I’m going to have my husband watch it with me later so that he can see that I’m not crazy in wanting to build my own stuff, have done a couple of things from your and Ana’s blog, but still am not extremely comfortable with using all of his tools on my own, so hopefully once he sees you two in action he’ll be a little more excited about what I’ve wanted to do these past several years!;)
LOVE hearing that Mindi! Thank you so much for your sweet words and YOU CAN DO IT! 🙂
Loved the show today! Will you be doing homes in other area’s? We live in Arizona and would love you to tear down some walls!
Thank you Diana! For now, the plan is to stay here in DFW… With all the kiddos it gets hard to travel 🙂 If that changes we will let y’all know!
I don’t have cable. Do you know if it’s available on Hulu?! I really want to watch!
Watched the showed today and loved it!!! Hope HGTV contiunes to show it.
Thank you so much Luke!
I also found it by accident; loved the show. Hope HGTV picks it up.
Thank you Ceil! We appreciate it!
Found the show by accident today. Started watching, and when they showed you in your homes, I kept thinking some things looked familiar. Googled it and found out you are from this blog. I love everything you make and your style. Fixer Upper is already one of my favorite shows, and I would LOVE for them to pick up your show and make it, too! Texas proud!!!
Awww thank you Julie! So happy you found it and thank you so much for your sweet words!
