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 absolutely love David Bromstad – he is incredibly talented and has such a fresh approach to everything! He will be the PERFECT coach for the contestants because of his fabulous personality. And Candice Olsen does some of the most amazing work I’ve ever seen – the judges are going to be great. Absolute heaven! Good luck to all the contestants!!!!
Hooray for a new season! I <3 Candice Olson!

I’d love this to add some cottage board and batten to my master bedroom!
The DVR is already set…just in case I get stuck in traffic or something equally awful to make me miss it! So excited! (but a little sad that Clive won’t be back.)
I’ve never watched a full season of Design Star. Maybe this time! 🙂
I haven’t watched Design Star since the season David won but you’ve got me psyched about this season!
Thanks for the great giveaway 🙂
Thanks for a GREAT giveaway. Love Design Star!
Yea…soooo excited about the start of a new season…..my money is on Leslie….just like all the other winners in Dallas….gooooo Leslie…your a slam dunk….!!!!!!!!!

LOVE Design Star and LOVE giveaways…thanks!
I’m stoked about the new season of Design Star. Its always so much fun and so inspirational.
Can’t wait to start watching again!
I know what to do with the prize. Spend it with one of your advertisers from last month. I saw some really cute pillows.
I love Design Star! And this gift card sure would come in handy right now for painting the ceiling on the porch of my 1865+ yr old house!! Just had the porch roof and ceiling replaced but sadly, we are out of money for now!! :/
Oops! I meant to say “for” instead of “to”. Oh well, I’m excited either way.
I’m definitely going to be watching…even if I have to go to my in-laws home to see it! 🙂 (We don’t have cable.) I would love $100 to buy paint for my living room!
Design Star–one of my favorite shows!
I can’t wait to watch the show.
I’m setting the DVR right now, wouldn’t want to miss a minute of the new Design Star! Thanks for the contest Layla and Kevin!
Really looking forward to this season!!
