Design Star Giveaway

By

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!

    So excited for Monday! I love David! But I love Candace too! OH and Genevieve and Vern are both favorites from way back to the Trading Spaces days. Oh how I used to wish they would come and design my dorm room at the time. Now that I have a house, I could still use their help (or yours!). Nate Berkus?? SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Seriously. This season looks like it’s going to be amazing!

  3. Katie

    Never seen this show but definitely intrigued. I remember some of the designers from Trading Spaces…looks like it is good times!

  4. Shirley L

    Yay for Design Star! It is the only “Reality TV” show worth watching. Can’t wait to see all the designs this season for inspiration!

  5. Wendy

    Thanks Layla, Kevin and of course Design Star. So looking forward to the changes in store for this season. I love some of the new guest judges, Love, Love, Love Nate Berkus he has such a liveable down to earth easy style, I love when he worked with Kirsti Alley on her kitchen. Robert and Courtney Novogratz I think are amazing, I love there lofty mix on vintage and modern. I don’t know how they balance all those kids and thier designing too. Oh and of course Paula Deen might inspire some of that beachy what I call “Layla Style”. Love her place in Tybee! Now a $100 card would just be icing on my cake!

    We no longer have cable or satellite – I really wish there was a way to view HGTV online, even for a small fee. So disappointed to miss the show this year. 🙁
