What makes a space extraordinary?
This is one of the questions I was asked yesterday during a casting call I attended for a new show on HGTV! I was contacted by a casting director last week who stumbled across my blog and thought I might fit the part for a new design show they have in the works. I've never auditioned for anything and was pretty darn nervous...but I did my best to answer the questions they asked and one of them was "what makes a space extraordinary?" My answer was along the lines of: scale, balance, texture, color...all of these elements play an important part in creating a space that looks and feels amazing. Every space should have a touch of the unexpected or a "wow" factor - something that catches your eye and is memorable. It can be bold such as a graphic wallpaper that pops or something more subtle, like an accessory that makes for a great conversation piece or a really amazing light fixture...I pulled together some spaces that I consider to be "extraordinary" for a various reasons. What do you think makes a space extraordinary? I always love reading your comments and input!

julie! soooooo exciting! i will totally have my fingers (and toes ;) crossed for you! you must have been so smiling after you hung up the phone? i would have been calm for like one second and then started jumping up and down, bigtime. we are all thinking good thoughts your way. and by the way, the "wow" factor, i'm completely in agreement. i believe each space needs that, whether residential or commercial. absolutely. love this post and it your story made my day!
ReplyDeletecongrats, what an exciting adventure that would be. i think an extraordinary space has personality. old collectibles, new purchases, diy project, heirlooms, sentimental items, all things that tell a story!

ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI called once for a casting call, too. And, then I learned that I'd have to leave my family for several months. I'm new to blogging and this world. It's very flattering, but I think they ask too much! Your site is simply fabulous and well...eye candy! I recently launched a blog too (uh, like last week), but up here in Nor.Cal. http://leezadesigns.com/blog/
SO EXCITING!!! I can't wait to hear what happens. : )
ReplyDeleteI think it is mainly the person who lives in a place that makes a space extraordinary. The personality and the interior should harmonize whatever style and design is used in the house.
