We’re wrapping up this year’s Design Star Season 6 cast critique with our last finalist, New Jersey designer Tyler Wisler. Between his scarf, his stance, the sneakers and the jeans, I’m feeling like it’s Michael Moeller all over again. The fact that his bio says he doesn’t hold back with clients if he disagrees with a design decision pretty much confirms it for me. Will he be this season’s diva, or will his portfolio win me over? Let’s see…
With so much satin and shiny going on, this room feels just a knotch below Bobby Trendy.
Dude. Seriously hire a better photographer. This room looks like it has a LOT of potential, but we can’t see very much of it because the camera is focused on boring French doors when what I really want to see is to the right and left of the frame. I have always adored the pendants that are hanging over the superorange Eames lounger–that would’ve been a great shot right there. Then give me one hit of the bed’s backdrop with the ummm…pigdog? …at the foot of the bed and I would probably be a happy camper.
Very…party of one. While I’m a fan of “less is more,” this just looks like…less. This bedroom could be a halfway house for the OCD-afflicted dude I saw recently on Obsessed, who didn’t sleep on his bed because he didn’t want to muss the sheets.
TYLER WISLER ON A BUMPER STICKER: I don’t see shiny-shiny and hyper-minimalism translating into a TV show, do you? My gut tells me it’ll be Tyler who’ll be the one to bring a lot of personal drama into the mix, so I’m not seeing him under the confetti come the finale.
The sixth season of Design Star premiers on HGTV tonight, folks. So set your DVRs for 8pm CST and check back Tuesday for my first episode critique!
Enjoyed the critique and the humor. Can’t decide if I’m more anxious for opening night tonight or to read your thoughts tomorrow.
