Announcing our Home Expo Celebrity Guest!
Tanya McQueen from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. She will beappearing Saturday, March 15th and leading 2 workshop on thatSaturday too. Her seminar "So, do they really build a home in 7 days?" Learn the steps they take to go from idea conception to final construction, all within one week.
Tanya McQueen graduated from Texas A&M with a degree inEducation and went back to her home town teach school. McQueenwas later elected to the local school board and served several terms.And if you'd told her back then that she'd be designing homes ontelevision, she never would have believed you.
In fact McQueen's career began almost by accident. First, shedesigned and built her own home, working hand-in-hand with architectsand contractors. She enjoyed the process so much, she decided tocontinue. With the help of her cousin, a licensed interior designer,she founded Tattered Hydrangea. The goal was to find tattered properties that could be improved with a wave of the magic wand and lots of hard work.
TheTattered Hydrangeas purchased homes that lacked style and turned theminto jewels - often doing the work themselves. They installed floorsand cabinets, hung drywall and painted. LOTS of painting. And she mightstill be running Tattered Hydrangea, renovating houses and resellingthem to happy buyers, except for one videotape that changed everything.
McQueen and her cousin taped one of their Tattered Hydrangea properties and submitted it to the TLC show Property Ladder.Producers selected the tape from among thousands of applicants, andsuddenly a documentary crew was following the Tattered Hydrangeasthrough a complete renovation. The episode featuring McQueen aired in2005, and it caught the eye of ABC and the producers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.They were impressed by her personality, poise and unique approach todesign, as well as her willingness to get arrested for the sake ofdesign (seriously, check out the Property Ladder episode!).
McQueen is now a designer on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,ripping down and rebuilding a new home every Sunday night. It's reallyjust Tattered Hydrangea on the most massive scale imaginable! It alsoallows her to meet amazing families and change their lives, somethingshe feels honored to do. As she says, "it's a privilege to combinepassion for design with compassion for others."
