tonight is the night. TONIGHT is THE NIGHT. which would explain why i was awake all night last night. awake with my head spinning… filled with a thousand thoughts…big and small (mostly small…i’m a simple girl). awake worried. awake excited. awake nervous. awake. awake. awake.
and awake realizing that we have not extended our huge SINCERE apology to y’all. so here it goes…
we are sorry. we are madly, deeply, sincerely sorry for something that you will witness in tonight’s episode on HGTV.
we. were. forced. against our will to use the word….cola. that’s right. there i said it. southerners everywhere may revolt and not claim us but trust me when i tell ya….it took no less than 27 takes before we could actually say it without stuttering. (in fact, my lips get numb just thinking about it)
{don't they look like a vicious group? just kidding...our crew seriously was OUR FAMILY}
because down here…as it is in most parts of the south, any cold bubbly beverage (barring the alcoholic celebratory kind) is referred to as a COKE. doesn’t matter if it’s a pepsi…or something generic…or even a dr.pepper…we call ’em all COKE. except of course, the amazing and wonderful BIG RED. and that one, my friends, deserves it’s own category.
but i digress…yes, we say the word cola. yes, we were violently forced. but the show must go on.
that’s it y’all…just had to confess my sins before the NATION sees ’em. please forgive us. and please watch us at 7pm PST/EST & 6pm CST on HGTV. that is all. 🙂

ANTICIPATION!!!!!!!!! on second thought most of us know what you girls can pull off!!!!!!!!!! it will be a FANTASTIC TV SHOW!!!!
Thank the Lord for TiVo!! Too much to do today but can’t wait to see the Gypsies on HGTV!! Love everything Junk Gypsy!
Break a leg, girlz……….. xoxoxox Lil Qween E
The horror! The next thing they’ll want you gals to do is drink unsweet tea.
NNNOOOOO! The HORROR!!!! 🙂
Coca Cola??? Been ages since I heard that, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices for fame and fortune! Can’t wait to watch tonite…congrats to you both!
At least they did not make you say ‘pop’
hey, watch out for those mid-westerners. We love our “pop”.
Amen to what Rodney said! Can you say amen?
Amen!
I’m super excited about this!! randaritas and Junk Gypsy!!! Good Luck gals!
You are BLESSED !
Seeing your show for the first time now( commerical is on).
I am loving it! Found your website( signed up) and also liked
you on facebook. You girls R great! Your style is my style!
I am so happy to find you !
Hahaha, I understand. My cousin asked for a coke on vacation and then took as sip once it was brought to her…She nearly spit it on the waitress and demanded to know what was in her beverage. She brought her a Coke, not a DP. She then apologized, but took the time to explain how soda is “coke” to us Texans, but she should have specified. Hahaha. I laughed so hard.
“Cola” aside, you gals are totally rockin’ HGTV! Love it & love seeing my favorite Gypsywear on tv, too. Congratulations!
LOVED the show, except for one thing, it needs to be 1 hour long!
I have never even heard of you, but just stumbled across the show and LOVED it! Ecept, I swear, when you said “cola” I told my husband, – look, they weren’t allowed to say “Coke”! I completely understood. I’m now a huge fan and have already set TiVo to find you again! Congratulations!!!
I ~LOVED~ the show tonight!!!! Will be watching every Saturday!! My husband loved the creativity you guys used to fix up the couples bedroom, too… But I agree, the show desperately needs to be at least an HOUR!!!! Come on HGTV, make it happen!!!! S.S.
Amen to the one hour thought. We didn’t get to see half your cool stuff . Loved the show. Impatiently waiting for MORE, MORE, MORE.
Wow ! You gals looked fantastic on HGTV tonight and you did us proud ! Loved the decor for Kelly and Dan’s bedroom.
Can’t wait till the next show. Yee Haw !!
Caught your show tonight and loved it! It was fantastic…and made me want to make our bedroom a bit more romantic! Can’t wait for the next show!
I would say you are forgiven because from what I saw tonight, I would say you all are very blessed. I was so glad to share just a small portion of the adventure with y’all. Had a blast and thanks again, T
So glad I read your blog because I was a little concerned. I wish you could have seen my face when I heard the word “cola”. All is forgiven & continue doing what y’all do!!
LOVED LOVED LOVED the bedroom makeover. Absolutely beautiful!
My husband says sodacoke for every flavor. You are rockstars and the cola is already forgotten..<3 B
I have gone and went to HEAVEN…..finally a tv show that speaks to my heart!!!! I loved it , every little morsel of it…and my hubby and I just looked at each other and said…hmmm, when you girls called it Cola, my thoughts were …seriously, in Texas we call it COKE…ha, ha!!! Love me some Junk Gypsy’s!!!
I have been waiting and waiting for this show to air…..
The ownly word is ” WOW” !! No 2 words… “Double WOW” !!!
Girls…. Just keep ’em rock’n on and on. Love that gate headboard !
It was so exciting being on ur show . Always out look’n for more Goodies.
You are hilarious! We were just happy that you didn’t say “soda” !
Having lived in that part of Texas for a dozen years (some family still in Horseshoe Bay – not too far), I loved your show and can’t wait to see the next episode. Did you make or find that cow(?) skull that was all blinged out. I loved it!!! I want one!! It would fit right in here in Colorado!
Where can I find the blinged out head with horns? Loved the show . Imagination at its greatest!
Product placement and endorsements aside, I thought it was hilarious they blurred out the wording on the side of the bottle…like that classic shape isn’t as well known as Marilyn Monroe’s. Hey… at least y’all didn’t have to drink ’em outta brown paper bags. Girls I’m here to tell you…that’s the only thing y’all need to ask forgiveness for ’cause the show, the Keen’s the redo and ya’ll were fab to the bone!
Deb
Hey, Y’all!!! LOVE IT!! Watched it TWICE –back-to -back and would’ve watched it again but the pesky NBA playoffs intervined! That’s okay it’s on our DVR!! LOvED the COKE and PEANUTS–my Daddy taught us the same thang! The bedroom make-over was fabulous! THe only problem is that it’s too dang short a show. Love y’all! xxoos
Loved, Loved, Loved the show! So glad to see a great decorating show in our “great state of Texas”! So sorry you were forced to say “cola” – at least it wasn’t “soda”.
I watched your show on HGTV on Saturday and I loved it! Way better than a similar show about two Texas gals that had a shop in L.A. I can’t wait for the next episode! Keep on junkin’!
Hilarious! I am always trying to explain the whole Coke thing, since I live in TN, in a military town, as a transplant! Nobody gets it but good ol’ Texans!
Hi y’all! Love your show! What was the name of that junk place where y’all bought the church pew and Amy did the welding? And where is it located? Thanks so much!
This is awesome! I actually remember thinking what? When my husband and I were watching the show! I knew it had to have been forced..good ole East Texas Aggie (WHOOP class of ’10) Girls just don’t say “Cola” lol Lovve the blog, the show, the awesome warehouse sales in Aggieland && Y’all!
Thank you for explaining that…non-Texans never understand. My husband and his family is from Missouri and they say “soda”….. : /
