HGTV....and Design Star

I'm a HGTV junkie...and I'm raising future junkies.  When my girls are at school and Mr. Incredible is at work...I turn to HGTV and watch all kinds of "home" shows. Proof I'm a junkie..I watch; Divine Design, Design to Sell, Curb Appeal and Curb Appeal, the Block, Property Virgins, My First Place, among others.  Mr. Incredible loves House Hunters International and I like the original House Hunters.  Now they have House Hunters on Vacation.  Not only that I have our girls tuning into HGTV too. Oh my gosh I'm raising some junkies!...I guess there could be worse things to be addicted too? Lately one series I did not jump on right away was DESIGN STAR..I heard from Layla at The Lettered Cottage for years how she has tried out for Design Star and I would LOVE if she made the show and she has been on board from Day 1.  This season my girls and I have watched from the beginning and now it is down to the last two designers..............

 
Karl

Age: 42    Hometown: Chicago, Ill.
As a kid, Karl says his love of design was "there from the beginning." By age 10, he frequently rearranged his parents' furniture while they weren't home and was mesmerized by building blocks and floor plans. Karl, who studied architecture at the University of Illinois in Chicago, has more than 10 years of practical design experience and says that he can excite people with his passion for design. He characterizes his personal design preferences as "ultra-modern minimalist," but often completes traditional designs for his high-end clientele. As the youngest of six, Karl says he is extroverted, loud and loves to live in the moment.

 
   Meg        Age: 33 Hometown: Chicago, Ill.

Meg says she began her career in design the moment she decided not to attend law school. After she earned a degree in criminology, she soon enrolled at The Art Institute of Chicago where she earned a B.F.A. in interior architecture. The interpersonal skills she learned during her criminology studies help her develop profiles of her clients and uncover their true design preferences. As the owner of a design firm and a home decor store in Chicago, Meg characterizes herself as a determined, direct and high-energy competitor. She describes her design style as a preppy mix of modern and traditional, but she also counts the vibrant pastel colors of "Palm Beach chic" among her favorite looks.

Who else is watching?  And who do you pick to win this season on Design Star.  I really liked Kelly and was sad to see her go but I think my vote is for Meg...I like her style and her energy!  So I vote for Meg...

Thanks Andrea for your comment. I like them both too...but I think Meg's style is more up my alley..I also liked Kelly too...I wasn not happy when she did not find old lockers for that li'l boy..for his room.

Have a good day.
