HGTV Design Star: LOVE this show!

Do you watch Design Star? I started watching a couple years ago, and I completely love it. My favorite TV genre is reality with a creative element. Anything real-life where people have to make stuff is the best! Add a dash of competition, and I’m sold. Design Star is all about HGTV’s search for the next host for their network. Contestants must be able to design a great room and be able to present the room naturally on camera.

The room in this photo is from Season 2 when they did a… wait for it… 99 CENT STORE challenge! This was my favorite room in the challenge. Can you spot any of the dollar store raw materials?

Season 6 of Design Star starts tonight, July 11th at 9/8c!

Will you be tuning in?

If you’ve never watched it before, don’t worry, because you can catch up on ALL the previous seasons at HGTV.com. That’s what I did when I discovered the show (three years late). I love watching a whole season of a show in one or two days. Am I the only one who does that?

I’m excited to meet the new contestants!

Ugh. I hope you don’t do too many sponsored posts like this in the future; they really kill off what’s cool about your blog.

It would be much more appropriate if you put that detail upfront, as well. As it was, I skimmed this, going “where’s the craft.”

I can totally understand wanting to make cash from your blog, but this is just tacky and gross.

I saw last night that this is going to be on again and will be watching it.(I love David Bromstad!) I watched it 2 seasons ago and the winner I did not like lol Me and my hubby use to watch HGTV every night all the time. I wish they would bring back some of the older decorating shows, my fav was Design on a Dime and FreeStyle.

Girl, you are too funny! I used to watch the show but am now into the Master Chef, etc. Showcasing the .99 cent room just made me ROFLMAO. You are true-blue and we love ya’ for it.
