Design Star Giveaway

Jul 8, 2011 By Layla

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’ve been addicted to HGTV since I was a teeny bopper. I’m 22 now, and while everyone else was watching MTV and Sunday morning cartoons, I was watching home improvement and design shows! After finishing my undergrad in business, I’m making a crazy career choice 180 by choosing to get my masters in design. I’d love to say I won a little piece of the Design Star pie! Best of luck to everyone! :0)

    I’m excited for this season of Design Star. But I hope they bring back some of the classic challenges, like redoing a room for a family in need and such. Can’t wait to see some of the white room designs!

    I am usually unable to watch the HGTV shows I like because of my work schedule (and I’m too cheap to get DVR), but I usually catch the reruns or check the finished room photos online. That’s my favorite part anyways, just seeing the finished photographs.
