Getting Ready to Film for This Old House

Well the date is set and the producers have asked me to prepare design boards for an upcoming segment featuring the decoration of the first floor.

Of course I am happy to ablige, but it’s been a long time since I’ve done design boards.
To prepare: we ran errands, and more errands — got the glue sticks and the double sided tape, went to the hardware store for paint chips, got some photos made, and purchsed some fabulous color printing paper.

Last time I did design boards, you had to get catalogues and make photocopies and that was labor intensive with trips to get recent catalogues and may tries to get the photocopies just right.
Now a days, a good printer and some downloads of manufacturer’s products and you are good to go. How did we ever do anything before the internet?

Here are snap shots of the boards and some close ups of layouts. You’ll notice the layouts on the left, fabrics on the right. On the bottom are lighting choices, furniture and finishes. The kitchen layout also shows tile for the backsplash. (Click the images to see larger views)
