Here is the video from Bumpshack’s exclusive interview with interior designer/TV host Jennifer Farrell, on the eve of her second appearance on The View. We were fortunate to sit down with Jennifer at her beautiful Hollywood home this week.

We asked Jennifer about a wide range of topics ranging from designing a small room, taking care of one’s self, her future endeavors, and small steps in how to be eco-friendly with your home.

Here are a few of the things Jennifer had to say in our interview:

“There is a lot you can do to help improve the planet. I am very frustrated in this country that not every city in America has recycling.”

“Think about what you can take out of your trash. We put a lot of things into the garbage that don’t need to go into the garbage. For example instead of throwing away your water bottle, why don’t you refill it with water from your fridge. I use the same water bottle for about a year at a time.”

“The biggest thing is how you treat your body.”

The View might have been Jennifer Farrell’s coming out party to millions of Americans, but fans of home design/makeover shows have been watching her for the last couple of years on A&E shows like  Merge, Find & Design, and currently on The Big Fix.

Television host and lifestyle expert Jennifer Farrell is a familiar face to audiences who have enjoyed her makeover shows and home furnishings. Her most popular venture has been The Jennifer Farrell Collection, featuring hundreds of furniture and décor pieces at nearly 1400 Big Lots stores nationwide. Jennifer became a household face traveling the country hosting the long-running A&E home improvement series “Find & Design,” and also hosted A&E’s “Point, Click, Design.” She now hosts “The Big Fix” for A&E, where she shares fun, easy design tips.

Prior to joining A&E, Jennifer was best known for her three exciting seasons as co-host and designer for Lifetime Television’s hit home makeover show, “Merge.” She enjoyed a great run with Fox Network for “Renovate My Family” as well as Fox Television’s “Design Intervention.” Jennifer was also a part of Style Network’s hit, “My Celebrity Home.” She has been featured on such shows as “Before and Afternoon Movies” for USA Network and “Outer Spaces” for HGTV, Jennifer’s own award-winning gardens having been highlighted on the network as well. This March, Jennifer makes a guest appearance on “The View” to chat with the ladies about home decorating.

While enjoying her globe-trotting television adventures, Jennifer continues working with select private clients through Jennifer Farrell Designs. Her signature style balances an inventive flair for the theatric with a sense of cozy comfort to create inspired living.

Farrell is a graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago.  She came to Los Angeles as an actress but quickly became one of Hollywood’s youngest film producers.  She has also written several screenplays that have been purchased for development.

Her popularity has even crossed over into pop culture as a band recently popped up on MySpace (listen at your own risk) with the name ‘Jennifer Farrell Collection.’  It should also be noted that the band is unsigned and ‘in need of gigs.’  Perhaps they are just in need of the actual J-Farrell to either manage or better yet sing and play instruments for them.

Jennifer is one of the most talented and creative women I have spent time around. She is a close family friend and was even a part of the remote and secretive Bump wedding a few years ago.  Her resume is rather extensive, especially for an ex-cruise boat entertainer (yes, she can sing and dance), but she is just now hitting her stride with her own design collection, new TV show, and appearance on The View.

You can check out the Jennifer Farrell Collection at your local Big Lots.
