The Glickman's home, the smallest house in Santa Clara County, will be featured on Home and Garden Television on July 3. Judy said they were contacted about two months ago by someone from the station and asked if a camera crew could film their home in a week.

"We got a kick out of the idea," Judy said.

Judy said during that week she was finally able to get those finishing touches done around the house.

"Did I hustle around, cleaning and planting flowers before they came? Oh, yeah," she said.

As promised, a cameraman and interviewer showed up at their doorstep a week later. She said they spent about eight hours in their home, filming the kitchen, living room and neighborhood.

"It didn't take them too long because there's not much to see," she said.

Judy said they also focused on a chicken theme, appropriate for a house that was originally a chicken coop for a neighboring house before it was turned into a cottage in the 1920s. The Glickmans also have a rooster theme at their house, and their neighbors have a pet chicken.

The 514-square-foot house, located on a 956-square-foot lot, was renovated after a 1996 fire that severely damaged the house.

Los Gatos architect Gary Schloh redesigned the house, using whatever tricks possible to make the home appear bigger than it was. He found room for a hot-water heater, double-deck washer and dryer and a walk in closet.

The house also boasts hand-painted cabinets, granite counters in the kitchen, vaulted ceilings and a deck, and is up to modern building codes.

Judy said she and her husband moved there because they wanted to be closer to downtown.

"We traded space for location. It's just the two of us and our cats," she said.

She's excited their home will be on television, but is also a bit nervous.

"You're never sure how you will look on television," she said.

The show will air on July 3 at 6 p.m. on HGTV.
