Design Star, episode 3

This was long due, Design Star on HGTV already completed 7 episodes. Sorry for being so late. But it's better late than never right?...so I'll quickly update all with all the episodes right NOW. I have already shared episodes 1 & 2 here and here.

Task: this task/challenge was named 'old room, new life'. The finalists worked with real homeowners to redesign four underused rooms in their homes. The finalists were teamed up to redesign rooms such as the basement, living room and bedrooms into livable, functional spaces. Guest judges Robert and Cortney Novogratz joined Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip to determine which team created the most successful space.

Design Star, episode 2

Remember I posted about the HGTV Design Star and promised to update all with this?? Well, I have already talked about week 1 here, and here is what happened 2nd week.


Task: HGTV Design Star's famous white box challenge in which contestants have to create an over-the-top, customized room that represents their style as a designer. They have to express their design ingenuity with materials found at a restaurant supply story, also must complete a creative how-to tip or technique used in their white box design. The design and creativity is a must have for this task, not utility.

HGTV Design Star

It's been one year now since I am here in USA and I have already told being glued to HGTV in my previous post here. I was already in love with different shows on HGTV and recently came to know about the reality design challenge show HGTV Design Star. It is the 6th season of the show which started just 2 weeks back, and of course, I am in love with this show too. The 12 contestants compete for their own design show on this. Each week, the judges decide whom to eliminate one. Each week, the remaining contestants participate in an interior design challenge such as designing a living space or creating a space in an empty room. David Bromstad won the debut season of Design Star, now he is the mentor of the contestants. I'll definitely talk about him in later posts. Since, this a weekly show, I promise to update you all week-by-week starting today!
