Design Star Season 8 Auditions
Between my chronic knee issues and the two hours of horror stories I heard off the record from one of last year's cast members, I had no desire to try out for Season 8 of Design Star. I've interviewed so [...]

Design Star All-Stars: Out With a Whimper, Not a Bang
Ever since I watched the finale of Design Star All-Stars, I've pursued my final Skype convo with finalists Matt Locke and Jason Champion only half-heartedly. Nothing against them, of course. I'd talk to those two any day of the week. [...]
Skype Interview w/Design Star S6 Finalist Kevin Grace RE Design Star All-Stars
Kevin Grace brought a lot of personality to Season 6 of Design Star, so it is no surprise to have a great time chatting with him today. In this video, we cuss and discuss last night's episode of Design Star [...]

Design Star 7: Something About Colors
Top 10 things I chose to do with my day yesterday, instead of writing a blog post about this week's Design Star: 1. Finished staging a $1.25-million color-happy house in Tarrytown (listing photos to come). 2. Ate seared tuna, Thai green [...]
Design Star 7: Cramped Kitchen Styling
HGTV calls this week's episode of Design Star "The Ultimate Kitchen Challenge," but I beg to differ."Ultimate" implies a showcase experience with lavish details and luxurious, no-holds-barred features. The word "ultimate" immediately sets up the designers for failure. After all, [...]
