New Orleans Designers to Appear on HGTV
"Brothers Take New Orleans" Casts Sarah James Moss of Moss Manor and Kelly Sutton of Sutton House to Join Drew & Jonathan Scott for Four Episodes on HGTV
[New Orleans, Louisiana, USA], November 7, 2016 - New Orleans-based designers Sarah James Moss and Kelly Sutton will appear on four episodes of "Brothers Take New Orleans" this fall. The designers served on design teams for Drew and Jonathan Scott, known also as the "Property Brothers," as they compete for winning designs.
"Jonathan and I have designed homes all over the country and we love working with amazing local designers to help us really bring a true local flair to our transformations" says Drew Scott. The brothers draw inspiration from the local culture, people and landmarks to renovate distinct neighboring homes in Treme near the French Quarter. The homes will be given to families selected by SBP, a New Orleans-based national nonprofit.
The episodes will air each Wednesday on HGTV at 8 PM CST:
November 23 - Living Rooms
November 30 - Kitchen & Dining Rooms
December 7 - Bedrooms & Bathrooms
December 14 - Exterior
Moss and Sutton were identified by the Scott brothers for their previous design work. Following a series of interviews in May, the designers were brought onboard in June. The homes broke construction in July and the designers were filmed sharing design ideas, sourcing local vendors and sharing laughs with the brothers throughout the project.
Sarah James Moss worked under Drew Scott on his rustic modern renovation with Louisiana ties. "Serving on Drew's design team was fun and rewarding, and being on HGTV is a dream come true" said Moss. "Drew's standards were very high, but the end result far outweighed the challenges. Drew was passionate about the project and genuinely wanted to infuse local elements into his design. Both of the brothers are down to earth and genuine. They were generous with their time and very gracious with their fans."
When asked about his experience working with Moss, Drew says "Having a local designer on my team was not only a huge asset in bringing an organic New Orleans charm to my design, Sarah also shares the same high level of quality with every project she takes on."
Kelly Sutton worked under Jonathan Scott on his vintage remix of a classic New Orleans home. When asked about her experience, Sutton says, "Jonathan was so much fun to work under. It was exciting to see his vision come to life. There was a lot of work to be done in a very short time but it made it all worthwhile to know that in the end we would be giving back to families in the New Orleans community."
"Kelly was amazing to work with and kicked butt in helping me hone in on that authentic Louisiana style. She not only brings professionalism and creativity to the table...but is also just a blast to be around," says Jonathan.
