Well, it’s here! We all gathered around the small television in our owner’s office yesterday morning to see our beautiful belle roof gazebo make its debut on the famed morning talk show Live! with Regis and Kelly.
Without getting too sentimental, we were all buzzing with the opportunity. I won’t lie and say we weren’t thrilled about the exposure, but it wasn’t just that that had our hearts racing. We do have a global reach, but at the end of the day we’re still a small business. We know our customers by name, we are consistently calling meetings to make sure we are giving the best service possible, and are truly passionate about helping both commercial properties and homeowners create outdoor spaces to love and enjoy with their families. We’re a business that, no matter how many people try to convince us we should, will never use an automated service to answer our phones or direct calls. Every time the phone rings, some one is going to pick it up. These are all small things, but they’re important to us. Seeing one of our favorite gazebos on a show we’ve all watched before from our couches was like watching a best friend finally land the starring role in her favorite play after helping her rehearse lines.
It looked gorgeous up on that stage, and as we huddled around the television with travel mugs of coffee and that early Monday morning feeling of ambition…it became clear how we got it there in the first place. After the first five minutes of the show, we all realized that we should be working on creating happy customers instead of watching television. So, we turned it off and all scurried back to our desks… ready to make a backyard as breathtaking as the Regis and Kelly Stage.
I wanted to let everyone know the really amazing news! Regis and Kelly of Live! with Regis and Kelly are heading up to Prince Edward Island on July 12 to film a week of destination episodes. What will they call home base? One of our Belle Roof Elongated Hexagon Gazebos!
We hope that if you’re not a regular Regis and Kelly viewer, that you’ll catch one of their shows filmed from the gorgeous Prince Edward Island in dynamic Eastern Canada. The gazebo will be the show’s home away from home in Confederation Landing Park within historic Charlottetown, the capital city of Prince Edward Island.
The producers of ‘Live!’ were looking for an outdoor structure that could provide the perfect covered yet open venue for the hosts and their guests. We were selected based on our ability to create the traditional look the historical setting demanded as well as our ability to meet their tight time frame and international shipping needs. The gazebo will be assembled on site and measure 10′ x 20′ to accommodate the show’s conversational style staging. The Live! gazebo will be constructed of the weather resistant and most requested vinyl material with classic cedar shake shingles and cedar flooring. It’s no surprise that set designers chose the striking Belle Roof gazebo, as its romantic and eye-catching silhouette is a favorite with any institution with people constantly snapping photos.
Want to see what it might look like? Get excited by checking out how other people have used a similar style. Regis and Kelly will be putting their own unique touch on their gazebo (just as everyone does!) but here’s a sneak peak of how other people have used their belle roof gazebos!
They’re all so gorgeous; I can’t wait to see the lovely Regis and Kelly sitting in one!
