Look who showed up as the guest judge again this week. It’s Jeff Lewis, from Bravo TV’s Flipping Out. I’m not sure where Kelly Wearstler and her big hair and crazy outfits have been, but Jeff was such a great judge that I hardly missed her fingerless gloves and leg warmers this [...]

Believe it or not, last night I finally had a chance to watch “Top Design” for the first time in several weeks. Their challenge was to design a room around a Swarovski chandelier. These aren’t your typical chandeliers, however, so it forced the designers to get a little creative.
Take a look at [...]

At the beginning of last-night’s episode, Eddie Ross says he wishes they would be given some individual challenges now. So do I! I understand that group challenges bring on the interpersonal drama, but it’s hard to know what someone’s style really is if they’re always working as part of a team.
Tonight our [...]
This week’s episode of “Top Design” is the one I’ve been looking forward to the most because they promised “Project Runway” alums. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been a die-hard PR fan since the first season. I was especially excited to see Andrae (“What happened to Andrae?!” as Tim Gunn would say) and Santino from [...]
Did you guys catch the second-season premiere of “Top Design” last night?
The biggest makeover was on the show itself. This was a hundred times better than last season and totally blows “Design Star” out of the water.
I’m thrilled to see the changes that they made:
India Hicks as the host is a huge improvement over Todd [...]

Oh, boy, you guys. We’ve been through a lot together these past 8 weeks, haven’t we?
Let’s see. We witnessed fake-out challenges (”Build a house by the lake”–just kidding!), fake hair, and fake travel (”Pack your bags and come to the airport”–then design a room inside the hangar to look like Mexico!). There were missing sofas, [...]
Well, guys, here I am, broadcasting from my vacation because I just couldn’t stand to miss the second-to-last recap of the Design Star season. I’m not sure how well I can pull this off with “live TV” (I usually use my DVR to pause the show and take photos and write notes). But for you [...]
I realize that this has nothing to do with real estate, houses, or decorating, but I just have to mention that one of my favorite TV addictions, Project Runway, starts a new season tomorrow night on Bravo (Wednesday, July 16). This is a photo of the new cast. Have you missed Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn [...]
Well, now that I have your attention with this screen shot of Mikey V, let’s start this week’s recap. In episode 6, our Designtestants must face The Dreaded Kitchen Challenge.
If you watched the first two seasons of Design Star, then you know that no team has ever completed a kitchen challenge in the time allotted. [...]
