Watch Nicole Gibbons on HGTV’s My Favorite Place! from Nicole Gibbons on Vimeo.
I’ve been getting a ton of inquiries from people asking where they can watch my recent HGTV appearance. I posted it in the video section of my blog but I thought I’d post it here too for anyone who missed it. Enjoy!…
Since my episode of HGTV’s MY Favorite Place has aired I’ve gotten tons of emails, comments and tweets about some of the items from my apartment that were featured in the episode so I decided to devote a special edition of Ask Nicole to answering your questions.
