hgtv design star...series 5...episode 3...

another strangely weirdly amusing concept/task set by the judges this week on design star...

the show opened with the contestants walking onto the roof of trump towers to the sound of a jazz band...

vern decided that the ladies needed one of the men to even up the tally on both teams and so the ladies quickly chose dan...

vern then let them know the challenge ahead...the challenge was to design a 200 square foot patio space inspired by music and the instruments they had chosen...

dan, now one of the gals, and his team had chosen the following...french horn, trumpet, trombone, guitar and the xylophone...


the spaces are amazingly blank canvases and dan his team get straight to work...funnily enough dan brought a sense of calm to the team...there was very little of the snideness and bickering from the previous week...surprisingly the girls all agreed on the furniture (suggested by dan)...


dan and the women's team won this challenge with their cohesive design...despite my lack of lurve for nona and her artfulness i thought the scheme together pulled together really well...the jazzy purple walls work really well as a bold statement, and they are set of perfectly with the calming effect of the votive candles and low slung furniture...



i think dan, once again brought much needed carpentry skills and outdoor experience to this challenge...each person managed to make their statement known and heard through the space, but everything as i said came together and read as one coherent space...

and lastly here's a before and after shot from the losing team...
