I’m really enjoying HGTV’s Design Star now that the contestants have been narrowed down to those with both talent and good personalities.
One of my favorite designers is Mark Diaz. While I would love to see him design a room where his wood projects are not the only things that stand out, I did love the space he designed on this weeks show.
The sofas were a little lack luster to me, but his pillow choice livend them up a bit.
Undoubtedly, Mark is gifted when it comes to turning a piece of reclaimed wood into a work of art. The dining table is magnificent and I really like the wall panels.
The wood room dividers were incredible and helped to define the two spaces without taking away anything from either.
Don’t get the two area rugs?
Love the bench. This could work in so many homes.
The whole trend on using reclaimed wood in home design is hotter than ever and Mark’s talent may have come at the perfect time for HGTV. The question is, would I like seeing “wood projects” week after week if he won design star? Probably so, because David Bromstad’s big, colorful art hasn’t worn me down yet.
Do you love reclaimed wood or is it a trend you’re ready to see go?
Here are some beautiful spaces, using reclaimed wood, that might sway your opinion?
Thoughts?
Hi Shelly! Did u apply to be on HGTV’s Design Star?
Hi Kristina,
I thought about trying out a few years ago, but now the desire has worn off. I’ll continue to admire the show from afar.
p.s. Love the frames in your Etsy shop. Lovely!
