Saving the Manor: The Untold Truth about Filming a Series for HGTV | My Tiny Estate

A couple of years ago – we took on the challenge of filming a full season of Saving the Manor for HGTV; a show that would eventually be seen around the globe. Ever wonder what’s real and what’s not in the renovation shows you see on TV? Or what really goes on behind the camera? We’re giving you the straight scoop on our HGTV experience – from having a mandatory nurse to waking up with sixteen people wandering through our home and a 24/7 snack table that attracted Borja’s worst nightmare. Join us for a candid look at the behind-the-scenes of Saving the Manor and the surprising moments that never made it on-screen.

I did enjoy Saving the Manor, but to be honest, you do as good a job on this channel!

I'm thankful you are continuing to tell your story even without a big camera crew and budget. Your creativity, work ethic, and family stories are inspiring & bring joy to all who watch.

You may not be actors…but you are great presenters. You draw us in to your work and life. It’s addictive and lovely.

Oh I hope you won't stop My Tiny Estate! I love your authenticity and the personal touch of your shares. I quit watching HGTV years ago (so admit I never saw STM). It's formulaic, dramatizing, boring, and so impersonal. Plus your engagement with fans on here is awesome!

It seems like HGTV made your jobs even harder. I hope the pay was excellent. The experience was a positive one and perhaps inspired your channel. You both deserve all the best because you are a class act!

I'm a fairly new viewer and just felt the need to comment on your amazing taste level and esthetic!
I love watching and love tackling my own DIY projects, and must say yours are a step above.
From this gay Dad to your beautiful new family, keep up the great work!
Can't wait for more❤

The funniest part is HGTV is where I found you first. You were just so sweet and adorable, you made/make a great couple. Your home is amazing and watching you bring it back was great. So when I found you on YouTube I was so happy!
Your a joy to watch and see everything you are doing. Thank you for sharing with us.

Also - you know how I feel about you guys, but I and we were so very blessed to know and work with you. You poured your heart, blood, sweat and tears into the series. You're simply the best!

I loved Saving the Manor on HGTV! But…I’m really enjoying this channel on YouTube it’s so much more up close and personal!😍🥰😘

A season 2 with AcheGTV would be great because it'd mean more money, but I frankly enjoy your productions more.

[lovelyskull]

This is a perfect channel. I enjoy every second and I am enjoying behind the scene. I’m excited to see your home at Christmas. Cheers.

I found this channel before I binged Saving the Manor. I really love both! You're doing such an amazing job on this channel keep it up!

[daynagayle]

Really enjoyed seeing ‘behind the scenes.’ And I love how you say ‘H’. 😊❤. Also your moms are the best !

[trinaayton]

I’ve got to say I love you doing your own thing now ❤

[wendyyoung]

So excited for season two. I was so disappointed when I couldn’t get any information about it. I searched everywhere I could think of. Eventually I found My Tiny Estate. I love this channel as much as I loved the HGTV show.

Borja your mother is so beautiful! Didn't get to see Dean's mom, but I bet she is beautiful, as well judging by our handsome Estate Hosts! You two men are so hard working, I bet the HGTV team were surprised, impressed and must miss you greatly! wow, that was an awesome spread on the table at your celebration of the end of show, looked amazing! Glad you had such a great experience with the HGTV team, says a lot about the show overall! Always enjoy your videos no matter the topic, project, or travel! Thank you for all!

I love hearing about your experience with HGTV. I wish I could have seen the show!!!❤

I first came across you guys on your HGTV show, while visiting my mum in Canada over Christmas.

When I got back home (I live in Iraq) I was so happy to find you on YouTube.
