The balcony gives pause unless it's enclose-able in winter. Contrary to popular belief ATL is not in Florida and it can get below 30F and at 37 floors up, the wind can be daunting even in July. Of course, the DR furniture would have to go and some other ideas come to mind in the LR as well. KIT and Baths are great, sleek and moden as are the BRs. Realistically, it's a lifestyle change; no more dashing out on a whim or easily having friends running in and out.....

This headboard goes with most design styles, be it traditional, transitional or contemporary. Swap out the fabric color to suit yourself and you've got a winner. But there is a tendency for HGTV to push the real estate side. Nice to see a design star you can believe in and who is relevant.

It'd look great equally in a man cave or a DIY BlogCabin environment as well possibly in an outdoor covered space with nice faux or stone floors.

I was sort of expecting modern elements to dominate and they don't. It is so warm and a great blend of what works together with traditional as well as contemporary pieces placed correctly to facilitate but not overwhelm the space. Since both my Italian grandparents were born on the lower West Side in the Washington Sq park area not too far away, it of course would be emotional to win and live part-time there. That is even though the HOA fees and property taxes might be over the top. I'd surely have to sell it at some stage. It is so well done though.

It was a show biz moment and not a real issue.

Liked the big chicken last week!!!

Who would have known..its a FOX...not a CAT!!!

Maybe Anthony G would have been a much better choice than Antonio as he is 10X better than Miss Kim Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:10:08 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34555339 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34554962 That is why one of Dan's last segment carpenter's agreed as well and commented on the Challenges Blog yesterday leaving his personal LAX telephone #. Must be really outdone! And we was there too.

However, I just tried for the 3X today to cast a text vote on an iPhone for fave Design Star after voting 10X online and the response from 44881 was ...Sorry this voting session is over....so maybe we will see a prescribed result there as well. Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:01:08 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34554654 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34549110 Exactly!!! Well Put!! Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:45:04 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34549110 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548832 You do know that Scripps wouldn't want that...the edgy comments make the ratings go up up up..they are all probably delighted! That is why there are blogs Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:40:37 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548832 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548617 Agree...Let's see what the outcome is for the voting for the fave designer!!! Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:37:50 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548617 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548470 You are right and one of the carpenters that worked on Dan's house commented yesterday felling the same and even posted his home phone # in LAX on the comment so it is all very strange an outcome. Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:36:27 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34548470 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34547968 You are probably right on target....As the Donald said when he got into the deal with Ms. California, its all about the ratings... Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:29:17 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34547968 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34547593 Maybe so; however, It was a very valid comment nevertheless.... Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:23:37 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34547593 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/challenge-9-meet-your-new-design-star-part-2/#IDComment34546547 I hit a diatribe yesterday so today, I'll back off the 3 judges as after thinking about it & reading some of the 4000+ comments, it is apparent they are just aping as they are directed; it appears as a sham and all about the ratings. Hopefully, Dan will get a show as result of the popular vote option on the website. He was though robbed of the DS mantle based on the new method of having the network decide, not the customers...or ..viewers. But that is over and we need to move on. However, if Scripps/HGTV wants to save their credibility with a segment of customers, they need to not be so blatent. It's apparent after watching Food Network and the Iron Chef and Slapdowns, etc., they are implementing, the trend is to attract a neurotic, nail biting, texting while driving segment not there at present.

It's now all about Real Estate resale & way too much staging and not much entertainment. Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:20:42 +0000 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34435182 http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2009/09/14/davids-vlog-welcome-to-hgtv/#IDComment34431695 You are absolutely correct!! And that is why Sir Clive was miraculously dancing around the set with the $5000,00 in his padded pocket. How convenient was that!?
