My Aunt and Uncle had the house built to their specs, and my grandmother wrote to Kenneth Brown, who had a show called reDesign on HGTV up until this fall. Kenneth agreed to decorate the house for one of his episodes. My Aunt&Uncle paid for the materials used in the decoration and they had a lot of say in the final design ideas - at first Kenneth suggested an all-white look that would have been completely moronic considering two dogs and my kindergarten-aged cousin go traipsing through there all the time. The show aired on HGTV while Bryan and I (and my mom and Bryan's parents) were on a vacation together over the summer, so I never even got to see the show. :(
