We’ve got an awesome giveaway courtesy of the folks at Design Star for ya this weekend!
The new season starts this Monday, July 11th (9/8 central) and will once again feature 12 talented designers, all competing for a chance to host their own design show on HGTV.
The show takes place in New York City, and like we mentioned in this post, the fabulous Mr. David Bromstad will be mentoring the contestants this time around.
Host, Tanika Ray is joining the cast this season and she’s tons of fun, so I’m stoked they’ve added her to the show! And, of course, judges Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olson and Vern Yip will be back to critique the contestants designs at the end of each episode each week.
And look! David was right! The judges are smiling and laughing more this time! (LOL)
This season will also include a few celebrity guests such as Nate Berkus, Robert and Courtney Novogratz, Kathy Ireland and Paula Deen.
Here’s a couple sneak peek videos…
And because we all love outtakes…
I’m so excited for Monday night!!!
Alright- now for the giveaway! Leave us (and the Design Star peeps!) a comment on this post and on Monday (July 11, 2011) at noon (Central Time) we’ll randomly select one lucky Lettered Cottage reader to win a $100 American Express giftcard courtesy of Design Star!
Good luck, have a great weekend, and we hope to see you next week!

I think I will have to add this one to the DVR. Looks like so much fun. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oh! I just saw on Selling New York last night the episode where the contestants’ apartment was chosen! It was a gorgeous place right on the river and next to the Brooklyn Bridge. Super jealous!
I CAN’T WAIT for DS to start Monday!! So excited. I seriously {heart} David Bromstad and hope to fall in love with a new designer as well!
I am so excited about the new season of Design Star! My Monday nights just got a little bit better!
$100 giftcard could go a long way!
As for a shout out for DesignStar .. I’m sure there are thousands of fans out there that would prefer to have a room designed rather than seeing you work on a blank space envisioning your ideas rather than working with a real client.
What do you do with the white rooms after you decorate them? Return the items, trash it and re-do? Although I love the show, it seems to be a waste. I think you can do more than just a white room. There are so many people out there that could use some help.
Yay for a new season of design inspiration!
I love designstar!! Can’t wait for the new season 🙂
I really want Candice Olsen to come decorate me house. Love her!
I can’t wait for Design Star to start! (even though my husband hates watching it) 🙂
I can’t wait for Design Star to come on. It’s going to be awesome!!!! Good Luck to all the finialists!!!
I love Design Star! Can’t wait for the new season!
So stoked to start watching the next season! It will be even better with David Bromstad (my fav:)!
love Design Star – I always get a lot of fun ideas…..
Woo hoo! Cannot wait!
I have a ton of projects around the house that could use the help of a $100 gift card. 🙂
Ooh I hope I win. I could use this money to put towards the new nursery I’m working on!
I can’t wait to watch!
I am so pumped for the new season. Can’t wait!
Yay for DS!

Design Star is so much fun. I would love $100 to spruce up my new bedroom!
I’ve never seen the show, but am excited for it! And…we just moved into our first house and could sooooo use this gift!
Wow, looks like a great show and that giveaway sounds awesome!
$100 would be just what I would need to finish up our current master renovation to accesorizing it with towels, decor, and a nice new toilet paper holder!
Oh to have the talent of any of them. I can’t wait to see their ideas and how to use them in my home! Then again … How does my home get selected as a project? Bring it on!!!!
Can’t wait to see some fabulous new designs!
