AT HOME WITH MEREDITH VIEIRA

THIS IS TODAY -- Page 156
For Meredith Vieira, living in the moment meant rebuilding her family’s home from the ground up. What began for the new co-host of NBC’s Today show as “toying with the idea” of a modest renovation for the home north of New York City immediately morphed into more.

Meredith’s small idea turned into a full-blown, eco-friendly, reconstruction that would leave only one interior wall standing. Meredith called Traditional Home to help with the Tuscan villa-style design and shares the story and beautiful images of her new home in the September issue. Check is out to see where Meredith has been relaxing since leaving "The View" before she starts the "Today" show Wednesday, September 13.
