Celebrity Guests

Samantha Pynn

Host and Creative Director Pure Design HGTV

Samantha's entry into the world of decorating and design began 10 years ago as a location scout for commercials and music videos in Toronto. Within a few years, she had parlayed that talent into an illustrious career in the design department at Style at Home magazine. Sam quickly became responsible for producing big stories on the hottest decor trends, coming up with design concepts for many of the articles and scouting homes featured in the magazine.

The long hours and hard work quickly paid off and her career skyrocketed. Her flirty, fresh style was quickly noticed by the producers of popular TV morning show, CityLine on CityTV, where she has been a regular guest expert for five years.

Responsible for styling and also creating many elegant-yet-accessible interiors featured in the magazine, Sam has worked with top Canadian designers, and apprenticed with Canadian designer and former design editor at Style at Home, David Overholt. In the course of her career, she's has also interviewed several internationally acclaimed interior designers.

Sam believes in approachable, layered decorating that brings in personal touches for a glam effect. She's also well known for her creativity in developing easy, do-it-yourself projects that any homeowner can do. In the first season of her show, Sam is excited and enthusiastic about taking on the challenge of transforming thirteen everyday rooms into sustainable living spaces with piles of personality and flair. For Sam, sustainability is about making the best choices you can, starting with changes as simple as rethinking what you have or making over a second-hand piece, while still getting gorgeous results.

 

Carson Arthur

Carson Arthur started his television career as a behind-the-scenes prop coordinator for a national garden call in show.  Very quickly, Carson turned an opportunity to host his own show into a landscape design staple.  With international coverage, Carson has become a voice of environmentally friendly landscape design on a global scale.  By addressing outdoor challenges with a keen sense of style and a passion for eco-consciousness, Carson continues to reinvent the definition of gardening.   With his first series, Room To Grow, Carson created inspired outdoor spaces for homeowners and taught a generation of viewers how to increase their own living spaces by expanding outside.  Following on the heels of his first success, Green Force provided Carson with the opportunity to take on some of the largest challenges associated with urban living.  Carson and his team travel throughout a large urban center and tackle some of the most depressing, under-utilized, and forgotten spaces around us turning them into parks and beautiful art installations while using environmentally friendly techniques and products.

Carson takes pride in where he lives and what he does.  As the spokesperson for both the Canadian Diabetes Association and for BluePlanet Environmentals, Carson has made the most of his television career to date by being active in helping to develop a better understanding of green living within a social context.  When not in the dirt, either building, planting or creating, Carson keeps himself busy with his own lines of patio furniture and gardening tools and as the principle designer for Carson Arthur Designs.
