Style Network Introduces Unique New Twist on Home Decorating in 'Dress My Nest'

'Queer Eye's' Thom Filicia Goes Back Into the Closet for Inspiration in New

Home Decor Series That Utilizes Favorite Clothing Ensemble as Design

Blueprint

    LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Everybody has that one favorite
 outfit that makes them feel and look their best, so what better place to
 start for home design inspiration than right in your own closet? That's
 exactly what Style Network is doing in the new series "Dress My Nest," a
 unique concept that takes interior design to a whole new level of
 personalization by using favorite clothing as inspiration for the design of
 a living space. Hosted by Thom Filicia, the interior design aficionado from
 "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," this half-hour series will motivate
 viewers to look at interior design from an entirely new perspective -- one
 that is as singular as each of us. The series will premiere March 28, it
 was announced today by Salaam Coleman Smith, Executive Vice President,
 Style Network.
     "Style Network has helped viewers find their favorite look and style
 when it comes to clothing," said Coleman Smith. "Now we are taking those
 invaluable tips and using them to design your living space, helping viewers
 look and feel as good in their homes as they do in their favorite outfit.
 We are especially pleased to have Thom onboard to lead this charge. He is
 -- hands down -- one of the best known and respected personalities in the
 design field, having helped countless people restyle their homes in 'Queer
 Eye.'"
     "I'm so excited about 'Dress My Nest,'" said Filicia. "I love the idea
 of marrying your style of dress with your interior design aesthetic to
 create a unique living space with your own personal stamp."
     In each episode, Filicia and our resident fashion expert meet with the
 show participant to see the space they want designed and to take a look at
 their favorite outfit. The two experts then pick apart the outfit to figure
 out exactly what it is saying about the homeowner and how it can inspire
 the decor of a room. How can a twill hat help you select your furniture or
 how animal skin shoes can inform the color of a room?
     After they conceive the design, Filicia presents it to the participant
 to get initial reactions. Then it's off to the races as Filicia hits the
 streets to find the best pieces of furniture and decorative touches,
 tracking down rugs, couches, wall hangings and paint that reflect that
 favorite outfit. Finally, the designers present the new room to our
 homeowner, hoping she finds it as comfortable and stylish as that favorite
 outfit. While the results are sometimes good and sometimes bad, they are
 always as unique as our subject.
     Thom Filicia comes from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" where he is
 the resident interior design expert. He also owns his own interior design
 company called Thom Filicia, Inc. that specializes in both residential and
 commercial projects. Filicia has been named one of "House Beautiful's" Top
 100 American Designers and one of "House & Garden's" Top 50 Tastemakers for
 2006.
     This series was developed by Elaine Brooks, SVP, Style Development &
 New Series and will be produced by PB&J Television Production.
