My 15 Minutes of Fame (okay, a minute and 40 seconds, but still...)

If you follow me on social media (and you should!), you already know I was on WCCO last week sharing tips for holiday decorating and host/hostess gift-giving. I shared photos on social media but wanted to also share with you what the experience was like. Being a TV newbie, it was all incredibly fascinating.

I woke up that morning excited to get the day rolling, both literally and figuratively. My general M.O. is to panic for several days prior but then be filled with calm the day of a big event, and this was no different. I began by meeting with my PR gal Madeline Johnson at Tapis Decor to review what I was going to say and do. Next came introductions to both Bob the camera man and Natalie, the woman who interviewed me. We had a brief chat about what they wanted to get on camera and what they were hoping to achieve with this segment, then the camera began rolling. It all happened so fast—clearly this was not their first rodeo! Natalie was wonderful in helping me explain what I had created for the camera, and she kept asking questions to continue the conversation seamlessly. I’m so pleased with the end result, I wouldn’t change a thing (except for all the awkward “umm”s!).

Watch the segments here:

Renae Keller, in a black sweater and floral skirt, adjusts her microphone in a cozy room with wooden floors and modern decor. Mood is focused.

Gettin’ miked.

Camera crew films two women conversing in a cozy, well-decorated room with a white couch and chandelier. One of the women, Renae, tips to the right while gesturing. Warm tones and modern decor.

Why do I look like I’m about to tip over here? Am I shaking water out of my ear?

A person films two women discussing in a stylish living room. Elegant decor and large windows set the scene.

Rolling!

Two women in a stylish room. One, in red, observes while the other arranges table decor with candles and pinecones. Bright, cozy interior.

Can we talk about how great Natalie’s dress-and-boots combo is in this picture?

Decorative display with pinecones, candles on stands, and greenery on a table; cozy store setting with earthy tones and furniture in background. Adding wintery touches to things you already have makes decorating painless and pretty.

Beige couch with two patterned cushions and a thick knitted gray blanket draped over it. Cozy, inviting setting with wooden floor.

Pretty winter pillows and throw.
