Movie #2078 ........................."Love in Design"(Hallmark)

 Movie #2078 "Love in Design" ( Hallmark)My favorite Hallmark actors together at last!  I am not a big fan of HGTV, but  people who are will absolutely LOVE the storyline.  I enjoyed learning a bit about what  goes  into  renovating successfully a historical landmark --- that's the conflict here ---a modern decorator with integrity  is renovating an old building  and comes into conflict with the historical guy who  has been hired to preserve the integrity of the prized building. Two stresses are added---she  is doing all this work  on camera;  he and she had a past relationship, so they have locked horns a lot in their past!  The humor works, and the two are very likable and congenial competitors. Throw in a trivia night  and a focus on people not agreeing but meeting each other on common  ground, and you have a fun, inspiring  watch for these times.5  out of 5 for this one!

Hannah McElroy is the host of Los Angeles based Love in Design, a nationally broadcast home renovation show, where she completes one home renovation per episode. Hannah's design style is modern, she seeing it as not having any design boundaries to whatever the possibilities for a space. Despite strong albeit slightly declining ratings after four years, Wally, the head of the network, wants to try a different format, where Hannah will do a more extensive renovation over several episodes, the first taking Hannah back to her small New England home town of Lewisburg to renovate the historic Lewisburg Manor, the owner, Margot, wanting to convert it into a bed and breakfast. Hannah would have five weeks to complete the renovation, Margot wanting a specific completion date to reopen for the manor's sesquicentennial. Despite this renovation not being up Hannah's alley being a historic building, she has no other option but to agree to appease Wally and the network.
