High Point: The Candice Olson Collection

You didn’t think we’d leave High Point without giving you a peek at Candice Olson’s new pieces, did you? We stopped by Norwalk Furniture’s showroom yesterday and were greeted by her incredible new color scheme of truffles and ice. Candice’s combinations of serene blues, grey-browns and bright whites create a relaxing, yet sophisticated atmosphere.

The Ollie Sectional is the newest piece of her popular Ollie collection. With it’s sleek style and versatility in fabric, arm and leg choices, it’s the perfect addition to any family room.

My favorite new pieces is the Calvin chair. One of the things Candice does best is taking a classic style and adding her own unique touch to it. The Calvin chair is a tribute to the timeless wingback, but the deep pitch and exaggerated curves bring an updated, sexy vibe to the design.

We have an exclusive interview with Norwalk experts coming soon. Just wait until you see the Calvin chair in white leather!

  5. Candace, you are my favorite designer. I would love for you to redo my master bathroom and master bedroom! I love to watch your show.

  6. Hi Candice fans, can you help me? I am redoing my office and bought Candice’s “Margo” chandelier by AF Lighting. It comes with a 6″, 12″ and 18″ chrome rod extension to let you choose the right height. Unfortunately, the 12″ and 18″ rod are now missing and the 6″ is too short. The manufacturer is sorry but they absolutely do not sell replacement parts. Did any of you buy the Margo chandelier and not need either the 12″ or 18″ rod (18″ would be best)? I will gladly buy it from you and pay for shipping. Right now I have a stunning chandelier I cannot use. Your help would be very much appreciated!! Please contact me at twonoisyboys@msn.com

  9. LOVE, love Candice’s, designs. she is one of the best, I wish HGTV, shows more of her shows on prime TV, as they do other shows, (House Hunting) , I love her team, they all bring brilliant work to the projects. My favorite designers are Candice, David Bromstad, Nicole Sassaman, Jaymes Richardson, and Kenneth Brown. They are all top Designers. P.S. My daughter Cindy, is also a huge fan of Candice Olson.

  10. Candice, I love your interpretation of clients' tastes and needs , along with your brilliant design sense. If only you could train and mentor a host of interior designers in our part of the world to use the same sense of taste with humor! How can I tempt you to come and use your magic in our part of the world in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.? I have a small apartment that needs your magic!

  12. I would move to Canada just to have Candice design my home, you are simply amazing, talented and gifted. No one on HGTV can beat your sense of style…please help your neighbors to the south, we desperately need you in the USA too, we'd like to be awed just like your Canadian customers too! Millions of us are tired of envying those lovely rooms you do in Canada! Love your team too…

  13. Love the show. I'm looking for ideas to create a Colorado inspired interior. Can you recommend any specific book or website to investigate?

    Bonnie on September 1, 2009 at 2:46 AM
  14. Hi Candice, You are one of my best friends. I have a couple of bad condishions that make it impossible for me to do to many things…but you make me happy everyday. You are the best on hgtv. I know you live to far away to even dream that you could help me with my kitchen,but it would be a dream come true. I would give anything for you talent. Stay Gold.

  15. Hi Candice:

    My family and I are in the process of buying a house that was built in 1901. It is a three story home. Just about everything in it is original. This was always my dream house. My dream come true would be for you to decorate this home. I would settle for you to decorate one room in this home. Would you be interested in visiting my home in New Jersey? We love your designs!! We love you!!!

    Gina from New Jersey

  19. I live in North America and am in search of an interior designer. Candice is exactly who I am looking for. How do I contact her. I would like to hire her. Please advise me on how to do this. Looking forward to hearing from anyone who has used her to beautify their home.

    claudia on December 28, 2009 at 3:01 PM
  20. I love her style of make over, whether its a basement, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom or living. She is an awesome designer. I would appreciate if I could get her to come to my home. Her and the crew are clowns. Please I need you.

  21. CANDICE IS SO TALENTED! EVERYTHING SHE CREATES IS EXCEPTIONAL IN QUALITY AND FUNCTION. I WISH SHE WOULD COME TO MY HOME IN TENNESSEE AND HELP ME WITH MY KITCHEN-LIVINGROOM. THAT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR THIS OVERWORKED NURSE-MOM! MY FAMILY LOVES YOU AND YOUR CREW! PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING ! THANKS FOR ALL THE IDEAS

    KIMBERLY on February 2, 2010 at 3:15 AM
  22. My mom is looking to make over her kitchen. My father passed away unexpectedly this summer and it has been a blow to our family. I think if Candice would come and do over her kitchen it would pick up her spirits somewhat. She watches every episode and is a huge fan of her work! Please contact me by email if you would be interested. We are in South Carolina. Thanks for listening… Christine Gloster. :-)

  23. HGTV is addictive, I watch this program as often as I can. I absolutely love, love ,love David Bromstad, Candice Olson, Kimberly, Vernon Yap. This is not by any means all the designers that I watch and love. You know I have never saw such caring, loving and considerate people. They treat their clients with the utmost respect. Another thing I wanted to mention is that the man Holmes is a miracle, he would never not complete a messed up job (by someone else) until it was done right. I don't know what I have to do to have a designer help me out with my living room or room of their choice. I do live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. We bought a one story cement block home 5 yrs ago, 3BR, 1.5 bath and aprox. 1100sq ft house space. Thanks for your time and listening. Love you guys and I am always bragging about your family of designers, Clive too, Ha! Ha! Cindy Mulrooney

  24. Candice I love your designs!!!! You are my ULTIMATE favorite designer of all time!!!! It would be a dream come true for you to makeover our home!! Love your work!!!!

  26. Hi,
    I have been watching your show for soooo long….and now want you to visit my home in Pompton
    Plains New Jersey and make a change that will be our dream kitchen. We currently share a large
    kitchen with my parents. The home was originally owned by a family with ten children the kitchen
    is soooo big and soooo very outdated…can you help us?

    Pauline Midthassel on August 14, 2010 at 1:41 PM
  27. Saw the kitchen makeover for the gentleman who is in the fashion buisness and had a fabulous house and all the rooms were great except the kitchen. Candice removed the bathroom in the kitchen and did white cabinetry, crystal chandelier and I can't find it on line. Want to replicate…how do I find it? Best Kitchen I have seen…

    lisa kornhauser on September 25, 2010 at 11:53 PM

  30. Candace is one of my favorite TV designers but her new show isn't cutting it.

    Sally on January 23, 2011 at 4:48 PM
  31. Hi Candence. I just watch the episode on "Rythym". I loved that sectional in the sitting room. Can you please tell me who made it and where I can buy it. I love you show and watch it all the time.

    Thank you so much.

    Rod Tymus on March 12, 2011 at 8:42 PM
  32. Candice has always been my favorite all time designer on HGTV. The things she does are timeless and done with such class. I love her new show, but miss the old one so very much. Her team felt like members of my family. Chico, Terry, Lorne, Edward and so many more. They made learning so much fun. I hope they never cancel her show for one of the new, far-out and faddish ones.

    J. Viglini on March 20, 2011 at 1:01 AM
  33. Candice Olson is my favorite designer but David Bromstad is amazing too.
    House Hunters is my favorite program – I love how you get the most interesting variety of people and how you include animals.
    You are my favorite channel.

    Brenda Ross on July 11, 2011 at 6:31 PM
  34. Hi Candace,

    I just love your show and your sense of humor. I have watched just about all your shows. I would love
    to know where you buy your crystal chandeliers. I am looking one to install in my bathroom. Love your crew
    and just everything connected with the show. Keep up this fascinating career.

    Vickie Taylor on September 17, 2011 at 6:04 PM
  35. What was the name of the artist that you were so thrilled with on your "nature' inspired show? He put in a lot of "light" dots
    into his painting. The show aired Jan. 16, 2012 in CA. Thank you.
