Hearts of Winter

Ah.

You've done a fantastic job on the house, Bethany.

Thank you.

The Wilsons think it's just beautiful.

And meaningful.

Beautiful and meaningful.

Mm-hmm.

And now that we've appreciated the house we should go.

You know, I just want to take another look

at these throw pillows.

Wait, why? They're perfect.

Well, don't you think your eye would be more drawn

around the room if the striped pillow was placed to the left?

No, I think it's perfect and that we should go.

Hmm. I don't know.

No, no. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

If we don't leave for Denver right now

we're gonna hit some serious traffic.

Can you believe that I'm gonna be on Hello Today

to talk about my book on interior design?

Well, we gotta get there first though, let's go, let's go.

Alright, alright, alright, alright.

Let's go!

I'm Sullivan Davenport and this is Hello Today.

I am so excited to welcome today's guest,

local interior designer, Bethany Cain.

Welcome, Bethany.

Thank you so much for having me.

Hi, everybody.

Bethany has developed a system

for home design and organization called M.A.P.

The MAP System.

Can you tell us a little more about it?

Sure.

The MAP System uses creative visualization

to help people bring meaning, abundance and peace into their homes.

It's pretty simple.

Just put the name of your kid on the outside of the jar

and you would be surprised.

It's like magic.

All of a sudden...

Dad, this is a good idea.

What's a good idea?

This candy thing with the cute jars.

You know, your grandma used to try and hide the candy from me

by putting it in a cracker box in the pantry?

She thought she was so sneaky.

You've been promising we can finally get some stuff

to decorate the kitchen.

What're you talking about? What's wrong with the kitchen?

It's functional.

Don't forget I have skating practice after school today.

How could I forget?

I washed your skating dress last... night.

Hey, Zoe?

How would you feel about being a flamingo instead of a swan

for your exhibition?

Dad, not again.

A-ha. There is the culprit.

Sorry.

Can you flip your pancake?

Yeah, yeah.

Hold on a sec.

All right.

Perfect.

Hey, Dad?

Can you tell me the bowl story again?

Oh, the bowl story?

Ah.

Well, your mom used to make pancakes

in this bowl every Sunday.

With chocolate chips.

So many chocolate chips.

One day I was washing the bowl and it slipped out of my hands,

of course, 'cause I'm a klutz,

and it hit the edge of the sink and it chipped.

I was gonna throw the bowl away and your mom said

"what're you doing? It's just a chip."

But now the bowl has a story

and it makes the pancakes taste even better.

They do taste pretty awesome.

Good, 'cause I'm hungry.

This is the book.

And I believe you had one more announcement?

Yes, I do.

In conjunction with my book

I am very happy to announce my New Year,

New Home makeover contest.

So I am offering a local Denver family a complete home makeover

using my MAP System.

And we'll be posting regular video updates

so all you guys can follow along too.

Okay, so how do we enter this fabulous contest?

Just go to my website, BethanyontheMAP dot com.

There's a little icon that says

"New Year, New Home makeover", click on that,

it has all the information.

Oh, man, we gotta go.

Wait, I wanna see the rest of this.

I can't, sweetie.

I've got a full day of tours at the lodge, okay?

You got all your school stuff packed up?

Yep.

Okay, I'm gonna warm up the car.

Meet me outside.

Okay, you heard it here, folks.

Go to BethanyontheMAP dot com, enter the contest.

Thank you so much, Bethany,

for coming on the show and for all of your great ideas.

I'm Sullivan Davenport, this is Hello Today.

We will be right back after this break.

Bethany, this is big.

I know, she shook my hand.

No, no, this is bigger than being on Hello Today again.

What're you talking about?

I just got a call from Beautiful Homes magazine

and they wanna feature your book in their next issue.

Tell me you're not kidding.

I'm so not kidding.

And... and they're gonna tie in the contest, too.

They say it's perfect

for their "getting a fresh start "in the New Year issue".

They're gonna do a spread on the whole transformation.

This is a national magazine.

I know.

This could be a game changer!

There's just... there's just one little hitch.

Oh no, what?

In order to get into the issue

we have to get it done in three weeks.

Three weeks?

Mmmhmm, yeah.

Wait a minute.

That would mean we'd have to pick the winner

in like two days.

Mmmhmm.

And then we've got prep, we've got demo.

I mean, that leaves absolutely no time for tweaking.

Or eating or breathing or sleeping,

but we can get it done.

Okay, okay, we can get this done.

Okay. We can do this.

- Can we do this? - Yeah.

We can do this.

- We're gonna get it done. - We're gonna get it done.

We're gonna get it done.

- We're going to get this done. - We're gonna get this done.

All the snow cabins are booked to capacity

for the next three months

so let's add more shuttles to the ski runs,

a few more snowshoeing excursions,

some winter hikes, and let's open the fire pits

for marshmallow roasting.

I'll order some more roasting sticks.

Good call.

Also, have you had a chance to inventory

the snow sleds and tubes?

That'll be on the schedule for today.

Okay.

It's my first year as activities director, you know?

I just... I just wanna make sure everything runs like clockwork.

Hey.

I noticed we've got 35 guests reserved for the Snowflake Tea

but we only have seating for 30.

All right.

Can we squeeze an extra five in?

Not unless you wanna open up a window

and attach an igloo to the side of the restaurant.

Could be cute.

Okay, um... let's do a second seating.

That way we can accommodate more guests.

I forgot to tell you, we have to cut the sleigh rides.

The sleigh lost a runner and it's gonna take a month

to get a replacement.

What?

Okay, I just need the final headcount for my staff.

Yes, um... can't we get another sleigh?

Everything's booked.

Let's brainstorm about it later, all right? Thank you.

You doing okay?

Yeah, yeah. Great.

You seem pretty stressed.

Yeah just... you know just busy.

I got everything going on here

and then I'm playing both parents to Zoe.

I just feel like there needs to be two of me.

Hey, Grant, I've been your best friend since high school.

You know I'm here if you need any help.

Yeah, I appreciate that. Thank you.

I'm trying out some new stuff for the winter tasting menu.

Will you and Zoe be my guinea pigs tonight?

Uh, a hundred percent.

That way I don't have to make mac and cheese again.

I told Zoe I'd give her a cooking lesson, anyway.

Speaking of.

Hey Zoe, everything okay?

Did you get the book?

Uh, what book?

For my book report.

If I don't show the teacher tomorrow I'll get points off.
