When Trista Sutter emailed me and asked if I'd be interested in sharing the details of her new HGTV pilot, Rocky Mountain Reno (premiering Sunday May 31st) I had to say yes!
She and hubby Ryan (yes, they're one of the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise couples who really seems to be living happily ever after) are taking the opportunity to show why they love Colorado so much and helping families find and renovate their idyllic mountain homes in the process.
Trista promises lots of banter between a couple married for 11 years (when my husband of 14 years and I renovate together I wouldn't exactly call our conversation "banter", so let's hope they keep it clean!) as well as cameos from son Max and daughter Blakesley.
With Trista's love of interior design coupled with Ryan’s background in architecture and building, they bring a lot of expertise to the show, and I personally find the two of them just so darn likable - making them perfect HGTV stars, just like our Canadian faves such as Drew and Jonathan Scott, Sarah Richardson, and another former Bachelorette Jillian Harris.
I couldn't let Trista get away without asking for her take on Bachelorette Kaitlyn's season so far, and here's what she had to say:
"I try to be supportive of all Bachelorettes since I was in their shoes (a VERY long time ago!), but I don’t have to try very hard with Kaitlyn. I love her!! I LOVE that she is a combination of beauty, brains, humor, charisma, and spunk! She is fully committing to the process and I just hope that her commitment proves successful at the end and she finds her way to a happy ending!"If you missed it, you can find my Happily Ever After momterview with Trista Sutter here,
