  1. Emily – your show was terrific – I enjoyed every minute. I loved how you changed the furniture to match his style. You seem very comfortable in front of the camera

  2. Since I didn't see you do anything of note, on "Design Starved," I looked at your portfolio. Don't give up your day job!

    • Hey Dpisme, do you literally sit around all day and think of hateful/hurtful things to comment?

      Alexis on September 1, 2010 at 5:02 pm
      • No. I just have a natural talent for telling the truth, though I guess that does seem hateful/hurtful to hypocrites, liars and , in this case, the design, uniformed. Thanks for asking. It's good to know you really care.

        • I agree with you, and I'm sure Simon Cowell would too!…I liked the room before she started…She adds too much crap for my taste…Who has time to dust and clean all of that?

    • Dan's a handyman/carpenter at best.

  4. Dan, my apologies for the jackle that seems to be posting here.

    Congrats. You should have won the whole thing.

  5. I'm so glad you won… I don't think we got a chance to see enough of what you can do, which is why everyone voted for you!

    Along with "how to make that thing I saw in the store," I'd love to learn about how to design a custom piece based on your needs. (Eg, a piece of storage furniture for classroom art supplies that is actually useful and stores what needs to be stored… er, not to be too specific or anything.) And maybe a little intro as to how to use different tools and what they're good for. I'm always watching these shows and thinking, "How do you use that handheld jigsaw without it going all over the place? Is it heavy? Lightweight?" And so on.

    Good luck!
