Anyone know if ANY of these people are doing ANY TV at all now.
(Please add names or any info about them to this list. These are just the few names I could think of off the top of my head.)

- Chris Casson Madden
- The various designers on "Decorating Cents," there were several
- Joan Steffend
- Kenneth Brown
- Lisa LaPorta
- Michael Payne
- carol Duvall
- Cindy Piccoli (Deorating Style)
- Peter Fallico (This small space)
- Tatiana (Property Shop)

- Lynneette Jenkins (had a furniture and paint product line I think)
- Christopher Lowell (does some videos, has a website)

- The Designer Guys (Steven Sabato (This Small Space) mad Chris Hyndman) host a talk show out of Canada that's carried on U.S. cable systems.

I'd LOVE to see any of these people on TV again!

Joan lives in Edina, Mn. Goes by Joan Steffend Brandmeier. She has written 2 books. They don't appear to be about decorating. If you google her there is a facebook page.

I soooo wish I could see Peter Fallico's show.... Frown

Hey clbselah. The only two I know about are Michael Payne and Kenneth Brown. According to a designer who works with Michael, he's been concentrating on his personal business. Kenneth moved back to Baton Rouge and opened another office there in addition to his L.A. office and seems content with his private work and raising his two kids. Over a year ago, he hinted about the possiblity of a new show on the Style Network but nothing else has been said about it.

Oh for the days of better TV with real designers like the ones on your list.

I think they were all too old for HGTV's youth movement. With few exceptions all hosts/ designers are under 40.



here we are now, entertain us

We got two of Peter's show's, but years ago. Nothing recent, to the best of my knowledge.
