In 2007 Amy Devers hosted the first season of DIY’s groundbreaking interactive hit series, Blog Cabin. Viewers voted on features for a log cabin and she went out to the Smokey Mountains and built it according to their specs, along with twin contractors, Simon and Chris Hodshon, and some guest experts from DIY network. Devers blogged during the whole process and then the finished log cabin was given away in a sweepstakes.
Blog Cabin is the groundbreaking multimedia experience based on a very simple idea: You Design It, We Build It, You Could Win It! This truly interactive series asks Internet users to vote on the design features for a real vacation getaway.
