Summary

Spring cleaning might feel like a chore - but talking to Emmy winner Julie Kaye Fanton about her work on The Middle was anything but! In episode 218, “Spring Cleaning,” our fabulous set decorator shares how she was the one who took the photo for the iconic “Hang in There, Kitty!” poster, what items of her actual son’s ended up in the Heck house, and her special fondness for the front porch geese. It’s a delightful peek behind the curtain!
