Edelman, the production company of the hit show "Sleep On It" on HGTV selects Georgia Interior Solutions, LLC to stage a home for an upcoming episode. And we couldn't have been more thrilled! What an honor and a privilege to have our home staging work showcased on TV!
For those who may not be familiar with the show, here's the following excerpt from the HGTV web site:
A buyer knows he loves a house, but just can't make that leap to buy. After touring two homes, our buyer - with the approval of the sellers - chooses one house that he and his family will sleep in. They get the run of the house for 24 hours to "kick the tires" and experience (hopefully) the trials and the joys of living in that house and in that neighborhood. We find out if they are going to buy the house or pass on it based on their sleepover experience.
As with most shows, beauty shots (which are stills taken before the filming begins) are done days prior. Here are a few of the shots I had taken with my own camera. This is just a sneak peak of the home and by design are just a handful to give you an idea of how the home turned out for the rooms we staged. And yes, HGTV will be passing over their shots for use on my web site. The actual filming begins today.

And one of the living room:
And the girls who helped make the home look beautiful:
From Left to Right: Kathy Nielsen, Owner & Founder of Georgia Interior Solutions; Middle: Kristi Oliver with Staging in Atlanta; Abby Reillywith ALR Home Staging & Showcasing.
Last but not least - here's a picture of one of the producers of the show; Jasmine Manzer. Jasmine was such a wonderful host. We were treated like queens. Thanks Jasmine for having made our day so special.
The show is due to air in either late August or early September. As soon as I know, I'll be sure to update.

Joyce
Congratulations Kathy ~ what a coup for you and your company! I can't wait to see this episode and will watch for your update. LOVE your photos of the house and the "crew" too. (P.S. I know the guests sleep in the beds .... how will you handle this?)
That is absolutely thrilling! Congratulations to the 3 of you. Joan
Very cool! I'll have to make sure to watch for it! Congratulations!
that is so awesome! congrats to you and the team. this is so fabulous for your and the entire industry. WAY TO GO! keep us posted. I know they will pick your house! kh
Beautiful work, is that term overused, but when I say it I mean it. Lovely, understated elegance. Perfect for the home and perfect for TV, should all your fans call and tell them for you? Pick them, pick them, pick them...
Janis - I was (and still am) so excited having been selected and can't wait to see the show!
Thanks, Joyce!
Maureen - Thank you. If they choose my home to sleep in, then as I told the producer, they're going to have to bring their own sheets (smile).
Thanks, Joan.
Melissa - I'll be sure to post so that everyone can see it.
Kate - The producer just called and said that the filming has gone extremely well. I'll definitely keep everyone up-to-date. And I agree, this IS great for our industry.
TerryLynn - No, beautiful work is not overused (smile) Just keep saying it and I'll be just fine with that.
What fun! May I ask some more questions? How did you handle things like the towels and sheets? Were you paid for your time, or was it a supposed publicity event for you? Do you win any kind of bonus if your house is picked?
Hearty congrats, Kathy. Jj
Congratulations Kathy! Great accomplishment & well deserved. Thanks for giving us a peek at your photos. Looks great!
Kathy, congrats for being selected for this amazing experience. And, thank you, AGAIN, for the opportunity to assist you with the project. Looking forward to the episode!!!! =)
How wonderful to be recognized for good work. Congratulations...
Hello Kathy N! How exciting and absolutely thrilling! I want to be like you!! : ) I am very proud of you and your work looks awesome per usual! Thanks for sharing the photos of you gorgeous gals! You do your industry with lots of golden shine! BTW-How many times did they have you change the fireplace mantle accessories? I noticed and was curious....Excellente! Go RESA! Regards-Kathleen G
Hi, Juliet - The buyers were informed to bring sheets in the event they stayed at this house. As for payment; we were given a small budget from which to work from. I used that to cover the leasing of the furniture and the accessories. And no, there's no bonus if the buyers select the house we staged. I'm sure that budget amounts vary by show; by location/project.
Thanks, Michele.
Abby - You're very welcome. I enjoyed having you and Kristi there! And by the way, that color looks fabulous on you.
Renee - It does feel good.
Kathleen - You are so kind. Thank you. As for the mantle... the pictures of us were taken mid-day. The picture of the family room was taken at the end of the day. I believe we changed it around at least three or four times.
Kathy
Wow Kathy! What a wonderful opportunity for you and Georgia Interior Solutions! You are very deserving of this....It doesn't surprise me that HGTV was able to see how incredibly talented you are!
Congrats and keep us posted as the air date gets closer!
Love the team uniform! Do you know who staged the other house? Or do they just stage the "sleeper"? Congratulations and well done - Julie
Kathy,
Congratulations! All of your hard work has paid off, and you deserve it. Can't wait to see the show.
Teresa - I'm blushing. How kind of you to say such nice things. Thank you.
Julia - I thought it would be fun to have a team uniform. All clothing was purchased at Old Navy and we had a blast picking it out. FYI - we began with green capri's and brown shirts. The color combination we ended up with (turquoise and black) worked great! The "other" home was an occupied home and according to Jasmine did need staging. Unfortunately, it wasn't in the budget to do both so... we did the vacant home (not all rooms, just the key rooms).
Thank you, Patty!!!
OH MY GOD! You are incredible and of course your talent always shines through in every staging. So, did the in the sleep over did they pick the house you staged?
I'm so PROUD of you!!! What an opportunity, and you did such a beautiful job. Lets cook up some popcorn and watch the show together. Applause to you Sissy and to Kristi & Abby, you all look marvelous in your outfits.
Kerry Sue
Terri - Thank you!! As for whether or not they slept in the house we staged? Well.... we'll know when the show airs (smile).
Thanks, Sissy. I'll bring the popcorn!
Kathy
Kathy, what a great opportunity for you! The home looks beautiful, I love the photo's, nice job! Thanks for sharing your success.
Congrats! The rooms looks great! Keep it up!

Thanks, David.
