Color Splash Takes Over!!

Posted on by

Sorry it’s been a few days since my last post. Things have been koo-koo here at Casa De Gold.

So, last week, as you might know from reading my posts, Color Splash from HGTV came to our house. They gave our living room the most amazingly Muchy make-over in the history of Muchy make-overs. (There is a looong history of muchy makeovers… trust me on this… or don’t)

So, for those of you not obsessed with HGTV like I am, or, if you live under a rock, HGTV is Home and Garden Network. It is the default channel of my life. Nothing on? Turn to HGTV. The way foodies watch The Food Network, or Sports fans watch ESPN, or geeks watch Star Trek.

The star of Color Splash (hence forth referred to as CS) is David Bromstad. This is is him:

This picture is like eye candy

OK- I used that pic because everything in it is like Eye Candy. 😉

David is awesome- so friendly and nice and down to earth and most of all,  TALENTED. He just seems to be able to tap into whatever the homeowner seems to want and deliver it with so much style and class and sophistication. What did he deliver to me? MUCHNESS. I <3 it.


I told David about our loss and how I was using sparkle and color to help me make my way back from the depths of grief. I didn’t go on and on about it because, let’s face it, dead babies don’t really make for great TV, but I did want him to know where I was coming from, and the journey I was on. Before the reveal he said that he’s never done a makeover that was as “homeowner inspired” as ours. That made me feel awesome. The film crew also told my husband that this was the funnest makeover they feel they did this season. As well it should be!!! haha

I want to post pics soooooooo badly but I can’t- not until it airs (which feels like it will be in a million years)

I will say this: Remember my post about Teeze? Well, One of the most popular bags in my collection makes a surprise guest appearance and in a BIG way!!!

Remember to take some time today to be In Touch With The Much!!!

Heading to the crayon factory with the kids while Color Splash invades our home. The Devine Miss Molly sits in the back seat with her itouch playing spin art- obviously, the glitter brush is her favorite.
(yes- my three year old has an itouch. Don’t judge!!!! Elie bought me the itouch on Sunshine and Daisy’s expected due date- he’s a sweety. A couple months later my boss got me the iphone. My Sentimental Itouch sat untouched for months till I realized Molly was asking for my phone to play games. So I downloaded apps for her to the itouch. It’s almost like a gift from her sisters. So there. 🙂 )

Color Splash coming our way!!!

Color Splash is coming in just 9.5 hours!!! OMG- I am psyched.
I cleaned out the room, left little post-it’s on stuff, even left the whole crew ceramic coffee mugs from my office. But ya know what I really want??? (besides an awesome, amazing kick-ass living room) I wanna share THE MUCHNESS and get it on national television!!! The only thing in the room when they arrive will be the kids easle. What do you think?

Do you think theyll show it? I hope they do!!!! By the time it airs my goal is to be #1 on google for the search term MUCHNESS. It’s a lofty goal, but my hubby is an SEO guru and I KNOW we can do it!!

I also left them another note on the other blackboard:

Before I found my Muchness that would have read “Welcome. Please don’t make it too nuts. Sorry if I’m being annoying”

Color Splash on HGTV is coming tomorrow to give us a living toom makeover. I had to find a new spot for my Sunshine and Daisy print. Nowhere felt quite special enough until I thought of this spot. This feels perfect.

The first night it was there, as the mobile music played and I nursed their little sister to sleep, I felt like all my babies were together with me in that little room. (molly is a big girl! Not a baby!) it was one of the most emotional moments I’ve had in a long while, and it felt good to cry for them. I miss them.
