Vancouver's Karin Bohn gives web audiences a behind-the-scenes look into the daily drama of running an interior design firm.
“You couldn’t have your own business if you didn’t love it. I think it would kill you.”That’s interior designer Karin Bohn keeping it real in the premier episode of her new web series, Seriously Behind the Scenes. The six five-minute episodes will follow the Vancouver designer and her House of Bohn team through the daily ups and downs of running an interior design business on the B.C.’s West Coast.“It’s not always as glamorous as people think,” says Bohn (whose glam hair and glam outfits might lead you to believe otherwise). The “obscenely busy” entrepreneur told us she wants her new YouTube series to show the gruelling business side of design and how challenging it can be. So far, we’re loving the chance to follow a local designer inside ongoing Vancouver home and condo projects. And bonus: webisodes are short so you can peep them on your lunch break.Next week, episode two shows the designer working on a full-gut reno of her mother’s townhouse in North Vancouver—for free. The epic eye roll her mom throws the camera in the preview is absolutely priceless.You can catch Episode 2 of the design drama Monday at 7 p.m., but in the meantime there’s no time like the present to catch up on Episode 1:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoM18Cdzjcs
