Lights, Camera, Action!

I've got some exciting news, everyone! We're casting for a pilot, and we need your help! 

Do you desperately need a decor makeover in your home? Here's one I did for friends out on Long Island, published in Country Living.    

Did you inherit furniture you think is outdated but don't have the heart to discard? This colorful makeover, published in Canada's Style At Home, featured a pair of chairs I'd found at the Goodwill, then updated with remnant fabric and paint.  

Do you have a space in your house you can't quite figure out how to use?  For Real Simple last year, I turned an extra closet off the kitchen in our house into a cool, retro bar.

Do you drool over the pages of magazines and blogs, dreaming of a better, more beautiful home? Here's a bedroom I did for House Beautiful with Quadrille fabric hung from antique church corbels.   

Or maybe it's dearly departed Domino that's more your style. Here's our New York City apartment, published in November 2008.  

Carrying on the torch, Lonny just might be your cup of tea. To hide the plumbing beneath an apron sink in our house, I fashioned a pleated skirt from dollar store towels, trimmed in ribbon.

  

Perhaps your house has beauty and charm, but you desperately need help pulling it all together. In this entry hall I designed for Martha, the console is made from vintage brackets and a discarded marble fireplace mantle.  

So if you live in Connecticut, New Jersey or New York and are looking for a room makeover in your home worthy of a spread in your favorite magazine, click here to apply!

I just found your blog. I am in S. California. That bedroom is the bomb. The corbels are GENIUS! The table, the benches the artwork, the blue silk upholstery on the beds. It is exquisite! If you are doing any re-do's in S. Cal, I would so love to have you over. I am great at choosing furniture, terrible at accessorizing and paint ): Keep up the fantastic work! ~Page

PS I loved your Rose Bowl post too - especially the idea for the chandelier.

[Barbara Marciano]

I've already applied, but now I think the pictures of me and my husband look dull. In all of our good family pics we had sunglasses on. We are so much more fun in sunglasses! I should have sent those pics anyway, drats! . . . Major regrets!
(Still hopeful though - some family will be very lucky.)

You're amazingly creative and talented Eddie! Thanks for the opportunity to apply!

we've got wine ;)

[Christina Brian]

Seriously, I am moving out East now just for a chance of your magical decorative touch:-)

Have a great day!

Hey, I think I saw you on a Whatever Martha episode recently! The episode included preparation of whoopie pies. Your hair was longer and your name was Eddie Roskowski(sp?)

[Stacey @ The Blessed Nest]

How exciting! Not doing anything in Chicago? :( Well, if you guys ever come flea-ing out here to our amazing flea markets, I'd be happy to be "tour guide" and show you my favorite fleas and places to shop!! Oh, and if you wanted to do a makeover on my home too, you're more than welcome! LOL!! Anyway, I know that you all are gonna be amazing!
Blessings,
Stacey

Robin

[tamstyles]

Oh, I wish you were including the South in this offer. I have the perfect home in Alabama that would greatly benefit from your artful eye!

[Lynn]

Yes . . . it's about time they put you on TV with your own show!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you AND spread the word to all my friends at the decorating forums I frequent. The world needs your fresh, wonderful, tasteful-but-fun influence and an Eddie Ross decorating show is just the way to do it.
Go Eddie and Jaithan . . . your fans are behind you 110% !!

[Kristin Gilbertson]

aaawww, it is about time you have a show. when you come to Minneapolis I am your girl. Seriously, consider no one else but me. Promise?

[Nicole Cohen]

Eddie,

I LOVE you. I would love to be part of the show in any way shape or form!!! I CANT WAIT to see you on TV again!!

Seriously!

[Frances Jackson]

I'm thrilled for you guys! Can't wait to see this show, what will you call it? Rip Tuck: Non-surgical Facelifts and Interventions for your Home Spaces, not faces! Okay, I got a little carried away, truly look forward to seeing this. Love your work!!

[Jennifer]

How exciting! I have wondered how this was going, but you guys have been so busy that I haven't asked. What an awesome opportunity. I do wish you were doing this in the south. Would I have a challenge for you!

[Sherry]

This is exciting news! Could I bribe you to come to Richmond? I have one more of those cow hide chairs you liked.

[lynne@lynnesgiftsfromtheheart]

Oh what fun! Wish I lived on the east coast.. I soooooo have a room that could use some help MAJOR.... looking forward to what you do.... hugs ~lynne~

[Jeanne]

Although I wish you were looking for makeovers in So Cal, I would like to say congratulations to you and the lucky makeover candidate...your work is amazing!

[ralphie]

Wow Eddie and Hi this is awesome I can hardly wait to see the show! I am happy for you guys. Should condo owners apply? I wish. I love your style and creativity. So go big for it! Ciao.

[Laura]

I wish it was open to Oregon! I need you Eddie!!
Good luck with your pilot - how fun!!

[Mona Thompson]

I just have to say you are SO TALENTED!

[Rachael Anne]

First, congratulations on a well deserved pilot. However, I got my hopes up. As I scrolled past every photo and caption I almost audibly stated "YES!" Therefore, when I went to the application page and saw you were going no further than New Jersey I was saddened. No help for the girl in Tennessee with retro blue tiles and ton a unsure ideas.

I look forward to hearing about the lucky applicant!

[my favorite and my best]

do you mind if i do a post on this?
also, do you mind if i apply? i rent my house though, is that a problem? i don't think landlord cares what we do to it.

[kathysue]

Yay!!!! You were made to do this. I think this is your destiny!! I am so excited for you!!I see stars in the skies!!! Terri's Mom's mudroom would be great!! I think that would be a wonderful idea!! Hugs Kathysue

[Iman]

Congratulations!!! Can't wait to see this.
Are you sure you don't want to come the beautiful Pacific Northwest!?!?
If you do make it out west, lemme know :)

[Jana]

My name is Jana and Jacks (Country Living living room makeover) is a dear friend and a colleague of mine at Glamour. I am moving, with my husband (Mr. Adam D...you know, the Miracle Management referral ;)!) and 3 small children + dog , to a fantastic house in Hastings, NY in July. It would be such a treat to work with you on a makeover to be featured in a magazine. We are a young, fun family with lots of ideas and not enough direction. Or time. Help us, Eddie and Jaithan! xx

[sheista]

Very Exciting! Can't wait to see your story unfold.

[Padgett Hoke]

Congratulations on this exciting venture! Finally getting you back on camera! I am so jealous of the people that live in your areas, I am assuming Wyoming isn't on the list? Anyway, I look forward to it!

[Stephanie Lynn]

Wish they were looking for candidates a little bit south of NY {boohoo} You work is amazing, simply fabulous!Congratulations on the pilot. ~ Stephanie Lynn

[Lila Ferraro]

Those are beautiful twin beds pictured from Domino. Stunning.

[Deborah Milne]

A huge heap of congratulations on the filming of your pilot. I'd be watching no doubt about it. I appreciate your design abilities scouring flea markets for the next fabulous find & and your creativeness re-purposing vintage pieces. You make it all work beautifully. Wishing you both the best on this upcoming pilot x

[Therese Long]

I have the perfect room for you!!
It's a "mud room" space in my Mom's house that is full of amazing potential!!!!
You could really make into something incredible. It's got Eddie Ross written all over it!!!!!!

[grace]

if i lived on the east coast i'd be all about this! you guys are the best. good luck with the casting for the pilot etc. also, have fun in palm springs! so jealous:) xo

[Karena]

Eddie I am constantly making changes, with paint colors, pillows, etc. I want a couple of great lanterns to replace some fixtures in the condo. I do need to get it all pulled together!!

[Tammy@InStitches]

awwwe, I wish you could come to NC ! I think I hate my living room.

[suzanne spina @cestsuzanne]

I'm in!!!

[Barbara at Daisy's]

OMG, I so remember that mantle. I get green every time I see it. My house has way too much wood to pull it off but it is truly amazing and I should have put 2 + 2 together. Of course you did it.

[Bailey@peppermintbliss]

Yeah Eddie! When you see all of your work like that back to back, damn gina! Can't wait to see what this pilot turns into!

[Lauren]

wahoooooo!!!!! cannot wait to see you on TV again!! so happy for you!!!
xoxoox

[Suzanne]

My whole house could use some Eddie essence. If you ever consider doing a mid-west based makeover, my entire home could be your playground, just sayin. ;)

[Sara Jane]

Boohoo! If only I lived closer.

[Darci]

Will you be doing outside spaces i.e. a small backyard with a great patio that needs help?

I will be sending in an application just not certain which space to pick for your special touch.

[LindsB]

CONGRATS!!! That is so exciting for you two, it could not happen to two nicer people (although we still haven't met yet)and I cant not WAIT to see all the new tips and tricks you have up your sleeve!

[Pam]

Are you sure you can't come to Raleigh, NC?!?!?!

[Jamilyn]

Oh my! This is so exciting! What a great idea. I am going to apply and send pictures! I need help for sure!

Thanks Eddie!

~jamilyn

[White Cabana]

Congrats! This is going to be fabulous. I can't wait to tune in...soon?!?!

[Kimberly]

I am jealous of everyone living in the areas for this great opportunity. Cannot wait to see your pilot. HUGE NEWS!

[beth]

Oh how I wish you could come to Chicago!

[Kerry]

Come to Australia...pleeeease! You guys have all the fun!

[Dagny @ Beautiful Living]

So I'm guessing you're definitely taking applicants from Norway, right??

[Zena]

What an awesome opportunity! Is this casting only for homeowners or is it also open to apartment dwellers?
