'The Bachelorette''s Jillian Harris On Designing for 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" traveled to Slaughterville, OK to build a home for the Skaggs family, whose son Jhett survived a heart transplant at just 10 months old, and "The Bachelorette"'s Jillian Harris went along to help with the design elements.
The Skaggs' house is moldy and termite-ridden, which means it poses a serious risk to Jhett's weakened immune system, so the "Extreme Makeover" team builds them a new house in just seven days. Jillian is responsible for Jhett's five-year-old sister Merit's bedroom. ET talks to the former "Bachelorette" to get her take on switching from restaurant design to interior design.
