We’re excited to have Chelsea & Cole DeBoer of HGTV’s Down Home Fab appearing at the Minneapolis Home + Garden Show on March 8th and 9th! We had a chance to catch up with them prior to their appearances and ask them some questions. Check out Chelsea’s answers below to learn some fun new design tricks and a sneak behind the curtain into her life & design strategies:

Are you a plant fanatic, or is your green thumb lacking?
“I recently entered my plant era, and I’m obsessed. I used to think I didn’t have a green thumb to save my life, but over the last few years I’ve found a lot of joy in gardening and caring for plants!”

What's in your bag or purse?
“Oh man, I am someone who travels around with a LOT of things - but things I ALWAYS carry with me in my work tote are, my laptop of course, gotta have my go to lipstick and liner, a little travel perfume, usually have a Celcius or 2 in there for energy, and a mini hair brush!”

What's your favorite HGTV series?
“Down home fab of course!! But another show I love is Rock the Block!”

Tips for incorporating a new design trend into your home?
“I would say to start small, incorporate the trend with accessories- throw blankets, pillows decor!”

What home project are you currently working on?
“We are currently working on our kids rooms, our teenager has been begging us to redo her room and our little girls have been begging to share a room. So those projects are in the works!”

Tell us about your pet(s).
“We have a TON of pets, chickens, cows, goats, 3 cats, 3 dogs - and all of them have silly “human” names (Patrick, Dale, Barb) we love them all! Our kids are all huge animal lovers.”

What's your favorite paint color?
“I use all Sherwin Williams colors, my favorites are Tricorn Black, Pewter Green, Black Fox, Black Bean, Shade Grown.”

What is your favorite type of music to listen to when you're working?
“We both LOVE country music, old country, current country, anything country!”

Ideas for a home-themed hostess or thank you gift?
“I love putting together a themed gift basket. You can get a cute basket and make it “cozy” themed with throw blanket, a candle, little mug. Or go host themed with wine glasses a little charcuterie board, and some cheese knives!”

Which HGTV star would you most like to work with and why?
“I gotta go with Joanna Gaines, seeing what her and Chip have done together and in their careers is so inspiring.”

What do you enjoy about being at a home show?
“We absolutely LOVE seeing all the upcoming trends for the year, love seeing everyone showing up proud of their businesses and of their work. We love meeting knew people we could potentially work with in the future, so many things!”

What is an outdated home trend you hope doesn't come back?
“I really hope the orangey oak wood NEVER comes back around.”
