Design Happens

Candice Olson‘s ears must be burning — she was one hot topic in the comments for our June 17th giveaway. We wanted you to reveal to us your design crush — the style-maven you’d let redesign your entire home while you sit blindfolded with no say whatsoever. Well, Ms. Olson reigned supreme. Other HGTV stars like David Bromstad, Antonio Ballatore and Genevieve Gorder were mentioned, as well as some new designers we’re going to have to check out! Our winner, Noel, wants to combine the talents of HGTV design divas Candice Olson and Emily Henderson with the star power of superdecorator Kelly Wearstler for her dream home. That sounds like a stylish concoction we can get on board with, Noel!

Noel wins two of our favorite Thomas Paul pillows to spice up her living room. I’m sure Candice, Emily and Kelly would approve of these chic linen lovelies. Noel was super excited to win the pillows and promptly responded to my congratulatory email, but note, we always give our Freebie Friday winners two weeks to respond before we have to choose another random winner.
