In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.

Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.

I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.

I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.

I'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver.

What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.
