Network Introduces Unique New Twist on Home Decorating in 'Dress My
Nest'
'Queer Eye's' Thom Filicia Goes
Back Into the Closet for Inspiration in New Home Decor Series That
Utilizes Favorite Clothing Ensemble as Design Blueprint
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/
-- Everybody has that one favorite outfit that makes them feel and
look their best, so what better place to start for home design
inspiration than right in your own closet? That's exactly what Style
Network is doing in the new series "Dress My Nest," a unique concept
that takes interior design to a whole new level of personalization
by using favorite clothing as inspiration for the design of a living
space. Hosted by Thom Filicia, the interior design aficionado from
"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," this half-hour series will
motivate viewers to look at interior design from an entirely new
perspective -- one that is as singular as each of us. The series
will premiere March 28, it was announced today by Salaam Coleman
Smith, Executive Vice President, Style Network.
"Style Network has helped viewers
find their favorite look and style when it comes to clothing," said
Coleman Smith. "Now we are taking those invaluable tips and using
them to design your living space, helping viewers look and feel as
good in their homes as they do in their favorite outfit. We are
especially pleased to have Thom onboard to lead this charge. He is
-- hands down -- one of the best known and respected personalities
in the design field, having helped countless people restyle their
homes in 'Queer Eye.'"
"I'm so excited about 'Dress My
Nest,'" said Filicia. "I love the idea of marrying your style of
dress with your interior design aesthetic to create a unique living
space with your own personal stamp."
In each episode, Filicia and our
resident fashion expert meet with the show participant to see the
space they want designed and to take a look at their favorite
outfit. The two experts then pick apart the outfit to figure out
exactly what it is saying about the homeowner and how it can inspire
the decor of a room. How can a twill hat help you select your
furniture or how animal skin shoes can inform the color of a room?
After they conceive the design,
Filicia presents it to the participant to get initial reactions.
Then it's off to the races as Filicia hits the streets to find the
best pieces of furniture and decorative touches, tracking down rugs,
couches, wall hangings and paint that reflect that favorite outfit.
Finally, the designers present the new room to our homeowner, hoping
she finds it as comfortable and stylish as that favorite outfit.
While the results are sometimes good and sometimes bad, they are
always as unique as our subject.
Thom Filicia comes from "Queer Eye
for the Straight Guy" where he is the resident interior design
expert. He also owns his own interior design company called Thom
Filicia, Inc. that specializes in both residential and commercial
projects. Filicia has been named one of "House Beautiful's" Top 100
American Designers and one of "House & Garden's" Top 50 Tastemakers
for 2006.
This series was developed by Elaine
