We are well into Summer! Here in California, we’re experiencing a bit of “June Gloom”, as they call it when the fog rolls inland during the morning hours. Generally this keeps the temperature really nice once the fog burns off. As I speak to my friends around the country though, I can tell it’s already really warming up everywhere else.
I recently completed shooting my third webisode, “Hayneedle Your Home with Eduardo Xol”. For this webisode I focused on awkward and uncommon spaces. I have one of these spaces- a long, narrow one right outside my dining room- so I thought it would be a perfect place to practice my philosophy. Notice the concrete pavers I set into the gravel to create the “room”. Once I did that, I placed the Sandstone Akro Hose Pot/Planter next to the water faucet. This would dictate where everything else would go.
Next you can see me shooting the “10 Second Tip” as we get ready to place all of the furniture. You can’t tell by this picture , but there were a LOT of people filling that small space to shoot the webisode. To see the video and get more information on the great products I used to transform it into a functional space, click here.
I’ve also been preparing for future webisodes, including one I will shoot in my sister’s backyard, since I’m already giving her a bit of a makeover. Many of you might know that my sister was diagnosed with lupus several years ago. It’s a very mysterious condition. An important element in maintaining the symptoms at bay is relaxation. On Extreme Makeover Home Edition, I help people in need all of the time all over the country, so when I’m home, I really do my best to help my own family out when I can. My sister is a busy, young mom who works as a teacher, so I want to give her a space where she can relax and find personal health and balance. Here’s a picture of the space I have to work with. Stay tuned for this webisode to see the makeover!
Speaking of personal health and balance…I’m doing my best to do the same as I manage a very busy summer schedule. If I’m not committed to attend a public event, I tend to my plants and garden almost every day before dinner. It really does keep me in check!
On the nights I have an event, and there seems to be many these days, I have to get myself cleaned up.
The next webisode coming up will be about poolside living. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the summer!
