The Art of Us
HDDr. Harper Higgins is an Adjunct Professor of Art History at the Cambridge Institute of Fine Arts. To make ends meet, she also teaches an adult painting class at the Arts Collective. She once aspired to the life of a painter herself, that is until her last show a year ago resulted in a scathing review by an esteemed art critic named Rick, who also happened to be her boyfriend at the time, that review which led to them breaking up and she putting down her paint brush for good. Although she never aspired to the life of an academic, she, as appointed curator, has managed to secure a famous artist for the Institute's upcoming Art Exhibition, it being a success which she hopes will lead to a promotion to a full time position. When that artist backs out, Harper scrambles to find a replacement. Who she hopes will be approved is the man she literally stumbled onto who became her dog walker, Tom Becker, his artwork which she truly admires. Untrained Tom only began to paint as therapy when he was in the VA Hospital (dog walking which was also therapy), he now not ever believing he could stop painting, but it being something he only does for himself. Regardless, partly in his attraction to Harper but mainly to pay the repair bills on his crumbling houseboat, he agrees to put his artwork forward for the Exhibition. In the process, Harper ends up telling two lies to her boss, Dr. Martin, to convince him to display Tom's work at the Exhibition, the bigger of the two lies, stemming from an anecdote told to her by Tom, which ends up being the focus of Tom showing at the Exhibition: that he is the great-great-grandson of Vincent van Gogh (the truth being that his great-great-grandmother grew up in the same town in Holland as Van Gogh and may have had a relationship with him). As it gets closer and closer to the Exhibition, Harper and Tom begin to fall for each other, and what is shown of Tom's artwork in preparation does catch the eye of some influential people in the art world. But the lie being discovered would not only ruin Harper's academic career and possibly ruin the reputation of the Institute, but could threaten her and Tom's relationship in the pressure of maintaining the lie, perhaps unless Tom's work truly can stand on its own merit.

Blueprint to the Heart
HDTiffany hosts and her friend Liz produces Renovation Project, the Home Design Channel's platinum standard - in every respect - television show, which is all about presenting restrained elegance, including of Tiffany, as shown by their high end sponsors. The show was originally produced by Tiffany's former boyfriend Haiden, who discovered her, the two who drifted apart as their careers progressed, Tiffany at the time working on perfecting her on-screen image. With increasing competition eating into the show's ratings including from Haiden's newly produced show Flip It Up also on the channel, Kimberly, one of the network executives, without telling Tiffany or Liz beforehand, brings back Haiden to co-produce, he to help usher in a repurposed show which in its current form may now be seen as repressed rather than restrained: instead of just a renovation of a house, the show would be a "renovation" of the homeowner as well, a complete lifestyle makeover if you will. Kimberly also demands that the first subject be Brooks, the last minute replacement carpenter for what was the last taped show in the old format. Kimberly liked the butting of heads between Brooks and Tiffany from unused footage that she saw, has already focus group tested Brooks, whose numbers were high, and that he seems like the type of person who needs a makeover in outwardly looking like he doesn't care about how he presents himself. Tiffany needing to dangle a carrot in front of him, Brooks is a reluctant participant in not believing he needing a makeover, which in turns leads to on camera torment purposefully by Brooks toward Tiffany in she tormenting him purely by being the boss of the process. Once they let their guard down and discover more about the other including why Brooks' house with the good foundation largely sits empty, Tiffany and Brooks seem to be teetering on the verge of romantic feelings for the other. What may prevent them from taking that leap on the personal side are Haiden's admission to her that he returned to the show largely in wanting to get back together, and if Tiffany makes a major decision with the renovation/makeover that hurts Brooks in favor of good television, a strong possibility as she learns this show with Brooks will be the deciding factor whether Renovation Project: Lifestyles or Flip It Up will be the sole survivor into HDC's new season.
