Weekend Reno show seeks interested cottagers

Kevin Browne | Feb 26, 2014

Are you a cottage owner with a renovating or redecorating project that is waiting to be done but you are not sure as to what you want to do with it or how to approach it? Well here is some good news. The TV Show “Weekend Reno” is looking for projects that they can include in their show. This show is produced by Mountain Road Productions (in Ottawa) and premiered on Cottage Life television on January 2, 2014. They are looking for outgoing cottagers with a project that their team can do in a weekend and include in the show.

SLPOA was recently contacted to help get the message out to cottagers on Sharbot Lake and the surrounding lakes to inform them of the opportunity to make a submission to participate in the show. The show produced 13 episodes last year in which one of them is from Sharbot Lake and the others are from various lakes in the Perth, Westport, Cloyne and Bancroft areas - so your cottage could be a new episode.

The Weekend Reno team consists of Michelle Mawby, the designer, Anthony Angelis, the carpenter and Merrill O’Malley, the project assistant. This team works together to take your tired interior cottage space and turn it into your refreshed haven. The best part is that you get to go away for the weekend and come back to the completed project and enjoy it without the issue of having to do it yourself.

The production team will supply the required design expertise, labour as well as substantial free materials. Participants are required to make a minimum financial contribution of $4,000 in support of the project.

Remember that the cottage season is just around the corner so if your cottage could use some TLC, then this could be the opportunity that you have been waiting for. How you need to apply and additional information is available in the SLPOA Forum (http://www.slpoa.ca/forum/) and on the production company’s website (www.mountainroadcasting.ca). Get your submission in as soon as possible to see if your TLC project will be included the next season.
