One Shining Star
**Spoiler Alert** (For those that have DVR'd the Design Star finale but haven't watched it yet, do not read until you have done so! or do and pretend your surprised when they announce the winner.)
Well, I did not predict the next HGTV Design Star correctly, but I got very close. Although Michael Moeller did not win HGTV's Design Star Sunday night, he did rank second in the competition and I still believe he's a great designer but...
So is the new HGTV designer Emily Henderson!
Her design was lacking star quality in the beginning of the competition, but she really came out of her shell the last couple episodes with some great ideas and excellent design.
In fact, as Justin and I watched her shape her final room on the show, I said to him that the color palette was exactly what I am trying to exude in our office. So thanks Emily for helping me hone in on my palette!
I'm already looking forward to the next season!

Seeing stars in the future
What are you doing at 10 EST/9 CST on Sunday, June 13? I hope you are saying, "watching HGTV's new season of Design Star," because that's where I'm going to be!
Since Amazing Race and Desperate Housewives have concluded, I can't wait for Design Star to begin so Justin and I can reinstate our Sunday night ritual of watching the tube. Look at these designers, just waiting to have their dreams smashed by the panel of judges (Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olson, and Vern Yip). I love it!
In anticipation of the season premiere, I scoped out the contestants on HGTV's Design Star site and perused their portfolios that scored them a spot in the challenge. Here are a few of my favorites.
Rugged-western cowboy America
(Can anyone guess what retail store this is? I have no idea.)
Relaxing, beachy patio in the city
Urban, industrial work space
(I immediately added this to my inspiration folder for my office redo this summer.)
Southern comfort, welcoming outdoor oasis
Gotta love color!
Mid-century modern man
(I especially enjoy the window treatment.)
Symmetrical sophisticated simplicity
(Say that 5 times fast.)
Based on their designs alone, my favorites are Julie Khuu, Michael Moeller, Tom Vecchione, and Trent Hultgren. Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and make an extremely premature prediction for the next HGTV Design Star, I elect Michael Moeller. Who is your favorite to win?
