Vern Gets Some Sugar

Congratulations to Vern Yip! HGTV’s Design Star judge and host of Deserving Design was recently named Favorite Male Designer of 2008 by www.casasugar.com. The award is the latest in a long list of accolades for the Atlanta-based designer. No wonder.

Vern has been wooing audiences and homeowners alike since he began sharing his designs with a television audience nearly 10 years ago. As seen especially in his newest show, Deserving Design - Vern designs as much with his heart as he does with his eye for design and architecture. He clearly loves what he does – as evidenced by a great big smile.  I know what makes me smile. A Vern Yip-designed space. Check out some of his latest creations:

  1. Vern deserves this honor! He is so likable and soooo talented. And yes, he has a huge heart!

    Other HGTV hosts I love would have to be Candice Olson, Lisa LaPorta and Tanya Nayak from Designed to Sell.
