Renovation Raiders

It may be a little known fact, maybe because I don’t talk a lot about myself on my own blog – imagine that – that I am an HGTV junkie. So much so that with this new project we’re undertaking, Zach is ready to turn off the satellite dish so I will quit having countless ideas and options flow through my head. As if Pinterest doesn’t contribute at all. Phhhhhhffffttttt!

And seriously, as my artsy brain works, I put rooms together then take them apart and proceed to remodel them in my mind without the help of HGTV, so he can unplug the dish if he wants, it’s not going to solve my “problem”. Ask my mother: I have the uncanny ability to look at a color, and go to the store, sans color sample and match it to something else. It’s weird really. Or maybe I’m just lucky. Or is it talent? *shrugs shoulders*

But I’ve digressed. There’s a new show on HGTV called Renovation Raiders. If you haven’t seen it and you love realty TV this is just that – combined with the awesomeness that is HGTV.

It’s filmed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and it’s really quite something. Here’s a a 2 minute clip from the premiere episode.

Will all the other HGTV junkies please stand up?

Spread the Love!

About ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~

Jenn Zeller is the creative mind and boss lady behind The South Dakota Cowgirl. She is an aspiring horsewoman, photographer, brilliant social media strategist and lover of all things western.

After a brief career in the investment world to support her horse habit (and satisfy her mother, who told her she had to have a “real” job after graduating college), she finally took the leap and stepped away from a regular income; trading the business suit once and for all for cowgirl boots, a hat, and jeans. She has not looked back.

When Jenn first moved to The DX Ranch on the South Dakota plains, she never imagined she’d find herself behind a camera lens capturing an authentic perspective of ranching, and sharing it with others. Jenn has always been called to artistry, and uses music, writing, images, home improvement, and her first true love of horses to express her ranching passion.

Horses are the constant thread and much of her work centers around using her unique style of writing to share her horsemanship journey with others in publications such as CavvySavvy, the AQHA Ranching Blog, the West River Eagle, the family ranch website, and her own website.

Using photography to illustrate her stories has created other opportunities -- Jenn’s brand “The South Dakota Cowgirl” has grown to the level of social media “Influencer”. This notoriety has led to work with Duluth Trading Company, Budweiser, Wyoming Tourism, Vice, Circle Z Ranch and Art of the Cowgirl, to name a few. She also serves as a brand ambassador for Woodchuck USA, Arenus Equine Health, Triple Crown Feed and Just Strong fitness apparel. Her photography has been featured by Instagram, Apple, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Oprah Magazine. Jenn’s work has been published internationally, has been seen in several books and has graced the covers of several magazines.

Jenn became a social media influencer by accident when she started to explore Instagram as a way to share her life on the ranch with folks that don’t get to experience it. It’s grown into an incredible platform that she uses to empower women, create an environment for self improvement and share life on the ranch.

When she’s not working, she loves to drink coffee, play with her naughty border collie named Copper, start ranch colts, and run about the country chasing cans. Her mother still thinks she doesn’t have a “real” job.

Give your horse or dog, or cat the gift of mobility.

    I don’t have cable (only Netflix) so I can’t become an HGTV junkie… but I get plenty of ideas from Pinterest, Dwelling & Craft Gawker! ; )
