Kim Myles is a Pro on the Today Show
It is hard to believe that it was less than two years ago when Kim Myles was named the winner of Design Star. She is a testament to how quickly and how completely the title can change a life — not to mention influence millions of TV viewers. Kim has become one of HGTV’s most loved designers.
This was Kim then.
This was Kim recently when she served as a guest judge on HGTV’s $250,000 Challenge. The host of Myles of Style was on hand to challenge and encourage the contestants vying for the quarter-million-dollar prize. She knows a little something about designing a room on a deadline when there are big stakes at hand.
Kim Myles is flanked by HGTV stars Kristan Cunningham and John Gidding.
And this was Kim just last week on the Today Show when she was asked to tackle a timely topic: how to decorate a bedroom on a budget.
Kim's bedroom design got a thumbs up from the Today show's late morning hosts.
Kim’s ideas included: repurposing an old lace tablecloth as a headboard, framing tin ceiling tiles for simple art that shines and making lighting fixtures with twine, glue and a balloon. She described the look as country with clean lines and contemporary with rustic touches. Good stuff.
Alongside Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, Kim was a delight to watch, as confident and charming as ever, rolling with the punches of live TV — a true professional on camera and I’m told, off camera as well.

Congrats, Kim! How fun to watch your Design Star rise higher and higher. Will the next design star hopefuls be as bright? We’ll soon see! T-minus 26 days and counting!
So, HGTV, WHERE IS KIM MYLES? Why should we take the time to watch Design Star week after week, vote, get addicted to a show and then just have it disappear. Heck with this, I don't even bother with your channel any more. Too many shows about buying a house (in a poor ecomomy), too many changes in personnel (how many stars have hosted Design on a Dime?!?!) and now NO KIM. HGTV has definitely gone downhill.
I understand HGTV deletes negative comments. I see there is ONE from six days ago… I believe Kim is an example of the reality show contest of eliminating potentially fantastic contestants one by one and then being left with those who hid in the middle all along. Mundane all the way. They ought to keep ALL contestants on and choose the winner based upon overall achievement. Having America vote? Not the best idea (Bush) , perhaps letting them vote but not be the deciding factor. Especially when true talent is a requirement.
I agree with all of the above comments on brings Kim back. I don’t even watch Dear What’s her name and it was a sham to have her as a judge on Design Star. Is that how Antonio won? I WANT KIM BACK!!!! She has style, ingenuity, she is GREAT hostess and her designs were for real people. Please, please bring her back you will then have an almost perfect line up.
I guess she must really be gone. Now I will go back to watching HGTV.
Today, I saw an ad with Kim in it. I miss her. Do you know how to email her or HCTV to let them know how much we want her back. Maybe she will be judge on the next season of Design Star. We should flood HGTV to let them know how great Kim is.
