Kitty Bartholomew has made her name on the motto "It's not what you don't have, it's what you do with what you do have." That spirit is epitomized in her book "Kitty Bartholomew's Decorating Style: A Hands-On Approach to Creating Affordable, Beautiful and Comfortable Rooms." For years, fans have admired the beautiful hand-knit sweaters she's worn for her television appearances, and her second book, "Designer Knitting with Kitty Bartholomew," shares the secrets of her beautiful work. 
"Reality Decorator"Kitty Bartholomew was involved in "reality TV" long before it was a media catch phrase - you could call her television's first "Reality Decorator." Kitty launched her television decorating career on ABC-TV's The Home Show. During her 6-year stint as the resident interior designer and decorating correspondent, she led her viewers on countless decorating adventures and even built a house from the ground up in 5 months by working side by side with contractors and tradespeople. Kitty hosted her own show called "Kitty Bartholomew: You're Home" on HGTV for 8 years, as well as a number of HGTV's most popular specials, including, to name just a few, "Great Gardens of Hawaii," "Great Gardens of Costa Rica," a Christmas Special at the White House, a live Christmas segment from the Vice-President's home with Marilyn Quayle, and her memorable "Treehouses," which took her back to her Michigan youth and the treehouse she built behind her childhood home. She traveled all over the country, finding and showcasing unique treehouses and interviewing the people who design and build them, and who live and work in them. She's created specials for PBS, on topics such as "Earthquake Safety," and is a favorite on "Oprah" - she'll be included in Oprah's anniversary DVD series "Best of Oprah," coming out this fall.
