I chatted with Vern Yip, one of the judges of HGTV’s Design Star a few days ago. Vern has been wowing the masses with his innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs on television for nearly a decade. On TLC’s Trading Spaces, he was a fan favorite, often requested by families to transform their ho-hum homes into visually stunning and comfortable living areas. His ability to bring richness, function, and beauty into a home on a budget and under time constraints made him a household name in the home design community.
After launching his line of home fashions, hosting his own HGTV show Deserving Design, Vern joined Design Star. Design Star gives decorators a chance to host their own on HGTV program by competing in a series of design challenges each week.
Vern’s latest project is one that will surely garner the attention of all you Dee-Talers. HGTV is giving away a $1.5 million apartment unit in downtown Manhattan, designed by Vern!
Listen to our interview for details on how to win this home as well as budget friendly design tips!
Here is a sneak peek of the apartment!
Seriously, I'm drooling just looking at these pictures! To enter the contest click here. If I'm chosen who's down for cocktails with me and Vern?
Until next time!

I just love Vern! The thing about him that made him different from the other designers on Trading Spaces was that he really seemed to care about the homeowners. He would say stuff like, "They are a great family and they deserve a really nice living room." It never seemed to be about shocking the homeowners (Hilde) or being bitchy to get his own way (Doug).
