I found this notice on a new L.A. community board I belong to, called CityMommy. It's small and lively and chockfull of good insider stuff for families in SoCal -- it's a lot like Maya's Mom and Facebook, only it's limited to the Los Angeles metropolitan area and its neighboring communities. (If you are interested in joining, drop me a line and I'll forward you an invitation.)
So that's where I learned of this intriguing new reality show -- and for the first time in my life, I'm really tempted to apply:

STYLE NETWORK'S REALITY SERIES
"DRESS MY NEST" IS NOW
CASTING FOR ITS SECOND SEASON AND THE CHOSEN FEW WILL RECEIVE A ROOM MAKEOVER WORTH OVER
$10,000 BY CELEBRITY DESIGNER THOM FILICIA.
LOS ANGELES, CA, August 28, 2007—PB&J Television, producers of Dress My Nest are currently casting for the second season of the reality show starring the fabulously talented Thom Filicia (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.)
Is your home a design catastrophe?
Do you have problems making sense of your home decor?
Do you hide your interior from your family and friends?
If you answered 'yes' to these questions, you need Dress My Nest!
Dress My Nest is a unique series that takes interior design to an unprecedented level of personalization. Hosted by Filicia, an accomplished designer, every episode motivates viewers to look at their living spaces from an entirely new perspective. In each Dress My Nest episode, Filicia helps one woman take her home from Design Disaster to Stunningly Stylish! He examines the space she wants rehabbed and draws inspiration from her most cherished personal belongings to determine a home design that best reflects her interests, style and personality. Filicia's unusual approach to design evolves out of a belief that every woman has a strong sense of style, and even if her home does not reflect it, her clothes, accessories and personal treasures can clue him in to her inner design diva.
Design disasters need apply!
Now, I have to confess that I LOVED "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," and that Thom was one of my favorites. I loved watching him transform those guys' pads into tasteful, beautiful homes -- using a lot of the resources I dream about each month in their catalogs.
Which brings me to another true confession: I don't have an "inner design diva." I'm clueless. But I do like the clean, uncluttered look of the Pottery Barn catalog (which you'd never know on a typical day by looking at my home).
So I do whatever I can (within my budget) to make my house look just like that -- and my living room and dining room really to look like a PB catalog exploded there (except for a few scattered pieces I picked up at Z Gallerie and a cheap discount media center that was too big for my living room... so I moved 2/3 of it into the dining room. This worked, because it is amazingly close to a piece I admired in the Restoration Hardware catalog, which actually is too rich for my budget).
Unfortunately, our living and dining areas are pretty good when I have the clutter under control (which is only when we have company coming, I'm afraid). But the walls are bare. We have lots of family photos I would like to display, but I can't seem to decide how or where they should go.
But our bedrooms are a total disaster. My middle schooler's room is especially in need of a makeover. Too bad that's not what the Dress My Nest staff is looking to redo.
So Dress My Nest: maybe next season. In the meantime, I hope you will consider any of my readers who happen to see this post and email you guys.
