I Feel Like I Want More Vern Yip

Lately I seem to have a lot of HGTV on and I just don't seem to see Vern Yip on as much anymore. I know he has a design business and does a lot of non-profit work and also hosts up on HGTV Star, but it's a short show. Sure, most of the higher rated shows are diy/reno/house hunting/flipping shows where they do a lot of the design, so I wonder if it leaves room for much else, but maybe there's a room for something a little different (Vern + questions from online viewers + tips and tricks?).

Kim Myles: HGTV’s Design Star

In the world of Reality TV, Kim Myles was just recently crowned as this year’s Design Star for HGTV - and from watching the show and the final “design-off” - definitely deserved to win. Cool, calm, neat designs - and a person of color helming their own show on a major cable network channel - here’s a little more info on Kim from her profile down at HGTV:

Three favorite styles:

1. Modern

2. Boho (bohemian chic)

3. Contemporary

A design do: Texture and color.

A design don’t: Bare, white walls.

Favorite designer: I’m inspired by all kinds of designers — interior, fashion, furniture, pottery and jewelry. I could never choose just one!

That’s a busy Asian - Vern Yip: Design Star & Designing Spaces

From the HGTV website:

One room at a time, Vern Yip is designing his way across America, having knocked down walls and made over countless homes and restaurants during his four seasons on two design television shows as well as through his private practice. He is now spreading the word on digital home makeovers through AOL and promoting the designs of Stainmaster carpet, Moen faucets and Procter & Gamble’s Bella & Birch Division and the integration of high-end electronics through Best Buy’s new Magnolia store concept. His most recent projects include his return as a judge on the exciting second season of HGTV Design Star, in which he’ll help discover America’s next great design talent. In addition, he will star in his own HGTV show, Deserving Design, premiering on Wednesday, September 12. Also in the works is his soon-to-be-released book for Regan Books/Harper Collins titled Designing Spaces and a new home product line with a nationally well-known company

Like the title says - that’s a busy Asian….
