It's not Christmas right now, but the Hallmark Channel is keeping viewers entertained with plenty of small screen action during the so-called offseason.
Now, Hallmark is getting into the makeover docuseries business. The company has announced a new TV show, called Home is Where the Heart is, starring actor-woodworker Luke Macfarlane and co-host and designer Olivia Westbrooks.
The series, which marks the first true makeover series from Hallmark, "follows Macfarlane as he channels his woodworking skills to help families in and around Atlanta transform a special room in their home, which has been inherited or holds a sentimental meaning to the owners," according to House Beautiful. "He works with cohost and designer Westbrooks to draw on the past and present to refresh to interiors while maintaining soul and charm."
Home is Where the Heart is only available via Hallmark+. The first two episodes of the series are already available, and new episodes will arrive every Thursday through April 17.
Macfarlane is no stranger to the Hallmark Channel, as he has appeared in the Hallmark flicks Christmas Land to A Valentine's Match, Notes of Autumn, Taking a Shot at Love and more. Being part of a show about building is a perfect fit for the Los Angeles-based Canadian actor.
"Building has always been a part of what my family did together," MacFarlane told House Beautiful. "My father was a wonderful teacher, and when I was 12, my parents did an addition to our family kitchen and my sisters and I were unpaid general labor."
Macfarlane adds that with Home is Where the Heart, he enjoys the opportunity to use his skills for needy families, telling House Beautiful, "The truth is, most people simply do not have the time, money, or ability to transform their environment, but it can make a huge difference in how they feel."
Westbrooks, an Atlanta-based interior designer, tells House Beautiful, "Working with these families to help transform the homes that hold so many memories while also honoring their loved ones was my way of doing just that—giving them what I had longed for."
