I {heart} Sarah's Summer House

Sarah’s Summer House

Beach Cottage Decorating

YAHOO! I am so excited and I couldn’t wait to tell you the news. You all know I LOVE Sarah’s House so I am beyond happy to hear that Sarah’s Summer House will be airing in the US starting on Saturday!

I believe this is the series that ran in Canada called Sarah’s Cottage. Set your DVR to record it so you don’t miss it!! Even if you have Sarah’s House set to record, you’ll have to find Sarah’s Summer House and set it separately.

    I saw a commercial for this the other day and got way too excited, according to my hubby that is. I can’t wait!

    Great! I cannot wait! Now, if I can just keep my kids from “canceling” my dvr recording! (which they have done in the past with her show – about half way through -JUST as she is about to show the ‘finished’ part. aarghh…)

    Thanks for the heads up!

    I’ve seen the ad for the new show a few times now and thought I would really enjoy this one. I admire her decoratig style (drool) but don’t warm up to her on-air personality much. I do like her very droll assistant, tho. Will definitely tune in for the first episode.

    I have been a fan of Sarah Richardson since her “Room Service” days. I saw on her website a few years ago that she was filming this…it takes a while for HGTV in the US to air the Canadian shows but this took longer than normal. Thanks for the heads-up. I don’t watch HGTV as much as I used to. They seem to be concentrating on the real estate aspect in their evening programming and I’m not so interested in that at the moment. I’ll definitely be watching Sarah though…have a great weekend. ~Ann

    Love Sarah Richardson! I love how her style has evolved, but is always beautiful. Love the pic of the 4 chairs around the one round coffee table. That’s my absolute favorite arrangement for conversation. Thanks for sharing.

        It’s great that you can get Sarah in the US! We love her here in Canada. If you go to http://www.hgtv.ca, there are videos of her new show. Hopefully you can see them. I know that when I visit US sites, often the video is blocked. It might be worth a try.

    I dvr Sarah’s House and already have Sarah’s new series set on my dvr. I love her designs. And isn’t Tommy a hoot! They both have a wonderful sense of humor especially when things go wrong or deadlines are extended. I would say that Sarah and Candace are the best designers out there.

    I’m one of your canadian fans to – so I’ve watched this series about a year ago. It is so great! Some people poo-poo the silliness on Sarah’s House, but I think that is what makes this series! It’s really funny and light hearted – it’s nice to see Sarah and Tommy giggling and having fun while ‘working’

    My hubby and I actually like watching decorating/renovating shows and have watched some of Sarah’s stuff. I gasped when I saw the summer house starting (although he rolled his eyes–he may be on overload)! I love the beach style–I grew up in Florida! I can’t wait to see the pretty colors, the light and bright feel, etc. We’re moving soon and thinking about how to decorate our next place so I know I’ll get lots of ideas! I’m so excited!!

    Sarah’s House is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly stroked out when I heard Sarah’s Summer House was coming on Saturday. I am definitely DVRing it and watching it about 200 times! Whoooooo hooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
    P.S. Those Canadians really know how to design, eh? ;)

    Very serene and motivating. Perfect place to write a novel. The decoration draws from a log house and country cottage features to result in a modern country house. I like the well-polished wood floor in the second pic. It gives the room a kind of rustic, elegant look. Truly a Summer house because I see green, violet and cream decorate the tones.

    Oh, I love that whitewashed pine panelling! That’s what I want to do with my in-laws’ cottage, but my father-in-law LOVES his high-gloss orangey knotty pine. That said, the panelling in the first photo looks amazing!

    I watched a few episodes of Sarah’s House back when we had cable, and I love her style. I’ll have to see if I can find Sarah’s Cottage (I’m in Canada).

    This is good news . . . I have been watching her for a long time.

    I love the 4 overstuffed chairs all facing each other. That would be my dream room.

    I think that Sarah Richardson (along with Tommy) has the best decor show format bar none. I love that the show goes through one room and shows it from start to finish. So much better than watching an entire episode on radiant floor heating. Why does HGTV Canada do so much better at original programming?

    I watch every rerun of Sarah’s House because there’s always something to glean from each viewing.

    I didn’t know until this morning that the show was going to be on. You’d better believe that I made a b-line to the basement to set the DVR!

    Even though I live nowhere near any body of water, I love coastal/beach cottage decorating, and I have incorporated some of that into my own home.

    I’ve never heard of the show, so I’m going to have to find it on my TV guide, and DVR it.

    Yes, Sarah is our top Canadian export! There are challenges galore in making her cottage become a reality. A few compromises, but in the end…well…as always…Drool worthy!

    I absolutely love this place, I do have a question, where in the world is this house located? I adore the location, her work is wonderful and she ranks up there with Candice Olson, some of the best design work has been seen by these two ladies, at least in my opinion. I hope they air it room by room because based off of the photos on the website, each room is just spectacular. Kudos to the husband for finding such a diamond in the rough, look forward to many great episodes. If anyone knows the location, please post.

      Love Sarah’s Cottage! (I’m in Canada)
      They don’t ever say *exactly* where the cottage is but it is definitely somewhere in “Cottage Country” in Ontario Canada.
      Seeing as Sarah lives in Toronto, it’s likely to be Muskoka, the Kawarthas, or the Haliburton area.
      Hope that helps!

        Sarah’s cottage is on an island in Georgian Bay. It’s a huge “bay” that is technically part of Lake Huron, about 3 hours north of Toronto.

    I love Sarah’s house . . she always does magic! and she & Tommy together are a hoot! I think she has MAJOR Nesting instincts :) – -she restored one house while pregnant with her daughter! I loved the farmhouse, so I was excited over this one . ..only problem is – -I want to sit in those rooms! can she come do my house?

    I watched the Summer Cottage series here in the US, and loved it. My house, built in 1982 also has the knotty pine paneling, and even though I bought the house because of it, after 30 yrs, I needed a change. The first week of Jan, 2012, I had a team of professional painters in and had all my pine whitewashed. I LOVE IT! The great room is 2 stories high, with 12 to 20 ft ceilings, and the ceilings are also pine. It gives the house a whole new look. Everyone who sees it loves it. I have the copy of Country Living Magazine that features this house, and several episodes saved on DVR, so anyone interested, I show them where I got the idea. One big thing, if your pine has been sealed with anything, the stain will not work. Good luck to anyone interested.
