We were hard at work on this project! The team of artists did an outstanding job putting in hours and hours of work under the most extreme conditions. The end result?.....well worth the effort! You will have to tune in to see the final results. The show will air on September 26th, the season premier!
After a meeting with the Extreme design team we were ready to begin and waiting for the call.
The reveal date had to be pushed back after a storm rolled through and soaked everything. ABC even got a few celebrities on board! The rapper Xzibit was there putting his contracting skills to work. He was such a pro on the build site one contractor
offered him a job on the spot, not realizing he already had a lucrative career in music.
Jillian Harris from the bachelorette was also there putting the finishing touches on one of the rooms.
Take a look below to see some in progress shots:
Hard at work in the 'watercolor' room. This room included several origami birds that would hang over the bed. The room was designed for the oldest girl in the house and was to inspire flight as a metaphor for moving forward in life.
The 'chalkboard' room was designed for creativity. The walls were painted in chalkboard paint and for added interest we drew decorative elements all over.
Ty Pennington in the middle of the crowd (the one without the hardhat)
overseeing the project during filming.
The 'Katy Perry' room was designed to inspire dreams. This room was covered in colorful wall vinyl and has several hand painted accessories including ribbon candy chairs and tables painted like giant cakes!
The 'Paris' room was designed to re-create a french bakery. The father of the young woman who would
occupy this room was a chef and this was in honor of him. We put a funky stenciled pattern on one wall and an old world texture finish on another. The room even had a cupcake display!

An assembly line formed outside to fill the house with all the goods.
People were working around the clock to complete this project.
Interior shots of the construction site.
It was truly remarkable how many people came together to build this house!
The basement was to serve as the lounge area for the girls. Hand painted frames went up in the computer room.
The accent wall was painted in a pink geometric pattern. The design team constructed
modern curved telephone booths that we painted in corresponding purple patterns.
