Last night I was flipping through the channels in search of something to watch and happened upon “My House Goes Disney”.\u00a0 Have you seen it?\u00a0 Basically, it’s like a mini extreme makeover on your home, Disney style.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this premiere episode, a family of seven gets a backyard makeover and the three bedrooms that the children use get these amazing Disney inspired makeovers.<\/p>\n

The premise of this episode was:\u00a0 From fairies to fish, the seven members of the Hinson family love everything about Disney. So when it came to this passionate family’s home, we couldn’t keep the Disney transformation limited to the backyard. HGTV’s designers, with the help of Disney Imagineers, take over the Hinsons’ house inside and out for this special episode of My House Goes Disney. Join host Brandon Johnson as the HGTV crew transforms the kids’ bedrooms with Crush, Cinderella and Lightning McQueen. Plus, there are surprises for Mom and Dad with a new pool and an outdoor kitchen!<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the exciting parts of this kind of makeover is that there was not a lot of demolition as you sometimes see in other home makeover shows.\u00a0 This made me think “I could live through something like this!”\u00a0 With rooms themed around the movies “Cars” and “Finding Nemo” and the last one taking on a split between Cinderella and Tinker Bell, the young children were thrilled with their new spaces.<\/p>\n

As I sat and watched I had to take a moment and think “What would I want done?” and unfortunately, I would need the big demo!\u00a0 My house and yard are not conducive to such magical works.\u00a0 Plus, my kids are older (12 & 20) and probably would not find the joy in having a Lightning McQueen bed or Nemo smiling down at them while they slept!\u00a0 Oh, but the pictures I would take!<\/p>\n

A team of Imagineers do most of the work and each room was treated to their full creativity:\u00a0 life-size murals, custom made furniture (most of which were used in the new Art of Animation Resort) and Disney-theming to the extreme!\u00a0 Of course, as in most of these home improvement shows, the parents did participate and assist in the work.\u00a0 A small price to pay for such an amazing experience.<\/p>\n

This new show is an off-shoot of the original “My Yard Goes Disney” where families had their backyards transformed by a team of Imagineers.\u00a0 Now that could be fun, too!\u00a0 In these episodes you’ll find pool areas turned in to “Pirates of the Caribbean” pool areas, or tree houses with hidden Mickey’s on them and even life-size tea sets representing the Mad Tea Party!<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong, friends, you know I love Disney.\u00a0 But the thought of having it around me all of the time – especially inside the house (the Lightning McQueen room done in dark\/bold red was too much) might take some getting used to.\u00a0 But I think, should Disney or HGTV choose me, I’d be more than willing to give it a shot and take one for the team.<\/p>\n

Perhaps a Beauty and the Beast inspired library…<\/p>\n
