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!

Design Star is the best. Love it. Also love everything you guys do. You are both so talented.
So fun looking through all the behind the scenes photos…can’t wait for the new season to start!!
If I won I could play “Design Star” at home!
As a married graduate student on a budget all projects are DIY and usually the time we spend together. $100 = over 100 hours of homemaking/designing fun!!
I can’t wait for the new Season of Design Star to begin. I love, love, love the show!
Yay! Can’t wait for the new season! So super excited!
I LOVE Design Star, and I’d LOVE 100 bucks!
Can’t wait the new season to start. I’ve DVR’d it.
Can’t wait to watch my first-ever season of Design Star – recently entered the world of satellite tv (goodbye bunny ears!) and am addicted to hgtv!!!!
Wahoo! I love Design Star and great giveway!

I love HGTV Design Star and it sounds as if this new season will be the best one yet! Can’t wait!
With TV becoming a dead zone in the summer
design star will be something great to view.
I hope it is on demand as I like a mini marathon
