By Toyouke(noreply@blogger.com) The morning of the last day brings everyone talking about how they want to win and their dreams of what they’ll do when they win. 2 hours to work today, which isn’t that much time. Ondine is still freaking out. It’s a theme. Her carpenter promised her that the kid’s bed would be done when she showed...

By Toyouke(noreply@blogger.com) Previously on Top Design: everyone had to make rooms out of Jonathan Adler products, which was semi-interesting. Then they designed rooms around giant sparkling chandeliers. Some of them were cool, but Preston’s looked weird. He won, somehow, even though his chandelier was only the cent...

By Toyouke(noreply@blogger.com) Andrea is already freaking out and talking about how she’s an underdog. Oh man, I wish Natalie was still here, she’d have some crazy stuff. Eddie snobs that if he wanted to work at a Jonathan Adler store he would have filled out an application. Not funny, and also the smirking ruins the joke, gen...

By Toyouke(noreply@blogger.com) Margaret starts us off by saying she’s disappointed in Natalie, even though she had a theme. The execution was sad. Jonathan thinks she is talented but too green. Andrea had a better idea, maybe, but India felt it was a cop-out. Keep all the “futuristic” stuff outside so your room can look like a...

By Andy Dehnart Having been demoted to mere judge, Jonathan Adler was a lot more tolerable, even when he said crazy shit, and his stupid send-off line wasn't missed. Margaret Russell grew into one of the best Bravo judges, particularly when she challenged other judges, while Kelly Weastler was more cohe...

By Heather Havrilesky The sun shines a little brighter on this once-great nation of ours today! With an unabashedly intellectual president set to replace the current ignorant frat boy in office, all of a sudden it's not impossible to think that we might crawl out of our slump somehow, that we might re...

By Aaron Krach Long before he became Top Judge on "Top Design," Jonathan Adler held a little gay place in our hearts. Who else turns their crafty passion (pottery) into an empire of stores and sheets and hotels. And they have amazingly talented husbands and are so out it makes us want to come out of the closet...

This week, the challenge is to design one room of a three-bedroom home to persuade the judges to let them finish the home, which will be the final challenge. The designers get to pick whichever room they want, and they get 90 minutes to pick out colors and wallpaper. The contestants have the re...

By Jennifer Simonovic Todd comes by to check up on the designers and Preston is up first.  Of coarse, he's done an amazing job.  Ondine's room actually looks great, regardless of all the drama.  Todd tries to suggest drapes, however, Ondine tried, and failed, to make window treatments.  Eddie, well, there isn't mu...

By Bo Powell On the other hand, I felt bad for him. I thought, this is not me. I would rather take Michael home and mentor him and teach him. But I had 8 hours to finish that room or I was going home. It was the worst situation I have ever been in. He did absolutely nothing.

The most recent episode of Bravo's Top Design ended with a scene that reality TV producers dream about: as the judges prepared to choose who of the remaining five contestants would be packing his or her paint samples, Andrea Schroder (pictured at left) announced that she wanted to go home....

By Christine M The judges talked about the merits of Andrea's room. Margaret said she made an effort that she hadn't made in the past. Jonathan said that the minute she said she wanted to go home he thought, "Bye!" Simon agreed. Jonathan thought it was disrespectful to her fellow competitors, but India stoo...

I went to Los Angeles this past weekend, which is why you got such a quick recap out of me on last week's show (for once) and I met up with Flipit, his friend Tricia, ChickBomb, and MonaMonzano for drinks on Friday night at the semi-famed Abbey, smack-dab in the middle of Boys Town (West Hollyw...

By Donna Oh, and Preston won the challenge. That makes two in a row. Eddie. Well, clearly the guys have it on Top Design. The five remaining designers had to design a room, any room, around an artistic, interesting Swarovski crystal chandelier. Everyone got a different piece - picked out by Eddie, who wo...

Today's challenge looks ahead: The designers have to create the room of the future, for the year 2108. They have raw, three-wall spaces, and they’ll have carpenters to help. It's an individual challenge (yay!), and they get $7,000 and two-and-a-half days to work.

By Christine M Eddie walks into the studio and is immediately repulsed by seeing a color blocked room diagram. India introduces the designers to this week's guest judge, Danny Seo, "America's leading lifestyle authority on modern eco living." Apparently, he's the  green designer from the "Today" sho...

Her refreshingly relaxed approach may have something to do with good role models. Keegan, who currently runs her own design firm, has worked with 2008 National Design Award winner Tom Kundig and raves about the architect's vision, talent, enthusiasm, and the sense of fun that he injects...

Houston-based interior designer Shazia Kirmani (pictured at right) is the latest Top Design contestant to hear from host India Hicks, "Sorry, but we could not live with your design." Shazia's voice got lost in the shuffle of this week's challenge, which divided the contestants into tea...

By Christine M The designers head back to work on their spaces for the last day. Ondine starts decoupaging a wall with prints of different animal species. It was weird. Teresa said her team had a lot to do. Shazia was not confident about the cornice boards she fought so hard for, as they're taking longer to inst...

By Christine M During deliberation, Margaret compared Nathan's window to a "high school art project." Jonathan says that Shazia has been working under the radar and all of the judges agree that she has "been behind someone" since the beginning of the competition. Margaret said Wisit and Kerry were capa...
