what you get for the money – cincinnati style
Posted by cincinnatimodern on November 11, 2007
Last year about this time, a crew from HGTV’s ‘What You Get For the Money’ spent a week in Cincinnati filming houses to feautre in upcoming episodes. They contacted me because ’viewers like magazine ready interiors and mid century modern homes.’ Who knew?! I guess it’s no accident that so many commercials are shot in modern houses! Anyway, it was kind of a thrill because I got to hook them up with 3 great mid century modern houses in town (…including mine) and I got to do the commentary! After thinking these episodes were never going to air, I finally got word that the first one will be on this coming Sunday, November 18, at 11:30 p.m. on HGTV, episode #607. I believe it’s about a 3-4 minute segment that should be on toward the end of the show. It’s the home of Kari and Mike Keifling in Madeira. Mike is an architect with FRCH and their home was also featured in the February 2007 issue of Cincinnati Magazine.
Upcoming episode #703 will feature my house and #708 features the Amberley Village home of Rick Kay and Jim Kelly. No air dates are set for those yet, but they told me to expect them in January. I’ll let you know! Other Cincy homes were also shot while they were here, including a grand old North Avondale estate and a downtown condo. I’m not sure when they will air. The weather was absolutely horrible while they were here – windy, cold, rainy, gray. The segment producer and the photographer were a lot of fun and kept wondering why the show’s producers sent them to Cincinnati in December! Anyway, I’m curious to see the city scenes they got to spotlight Cincy!
