Debra Salmoni Career as a Designer
Mrs. Salmoni hasn’t had a very noticeable career before she joined HGTV. However, HGTV is where Debra got her start. Debra works as a Designer in the show ‘Vacation House Rules’ with contractor Scott McGillivray.
The show is originally hosted by Scott, but Salmoni does all the design in the show. Debra’s focus lies on unlocking the full ‘vacation’ properties of a house. Scott offers tips on transforming the most neglected and unlivable of spaces into artful paradise, and Debra Salmoni plays a significant role in making sure Scott’s visions are realized.
The show is still quite new and the first episode of season 1 is set to air soon on HGTV on September 15. Debra and Scott regularly come across challenging renovation scenarios which almost seem impossible, so the show is definitely a delight to watch.
Besides Vacation House Rules, Debra has also worked with TJ Designs (Timothy Johnson Designs) for a while. Debra’s work for TJ Design has been featured in a few magazines as well, one of them being HouseAndHome Magazine. Additionally, Debra also has her own website where she takes direct requests for interior design from her customers.
