Swapping furniture, that is! (Get your minds out of the gutter! This is not Marina del Rey, people.)

Some of your very own Mar Vista neighbors will be featured on the Oprah Winfrey show Monday, April 27th. And what are we doing? Swapping furniture! It’s a budget makeover on 4 houses in Mar Vista, so to save money, we went shopping in each other’s houses instead of at the store.

Here we are with Nate Berkus, the designer who made all our houses look so fabulous. And, for the record, he’s JUST as nice and as devastatingly handsome in person, by the way!!

Mar Vista Mom was indeed one of the 4 lucky ones! (That’s me in the denim jacket.)

In fact, it’s because of this blog that we got to be on TV. The show was looking for a group of neighbors who knew each other well and would be interested in having home makeovers — and they found my previous posts about our block parties and chili cook-offs and movie nights. We are a very close-knit neighborhood!

Tune in Monday, April 27th to see it all in action! Oprah is on ABC, Check local listings for showtimes. (Gee, it just doesn’t get old saying that.)
