David definately had the better room. Alice's room was a kids room? I didn't see it and it had too much white in it for me.

I voted for David because I liked the flowing canopy over the bed and the lighting. The browns and earthtones in the room made it seem restful. I usually don't like brown but I loved David's style. I could sleep in a room like that so it was a good design IMO. The white headboards and storage unit in Alice's room made the room look cheap not whimsical. The only thing I liked in her room was the light fixure.

I could definately live in David's room. Actually sleep there. It looked so peaceful and calm. It is so easy for me to picture his bedroom as part of a very luxurious master suite. I would have no problem watching and listening to him host his own show. In my opinion he is definately the better designer. To me, Alice's room was just OK. It looked like she bought a bunch of things just to fill up the space. Even though the headboards were "custom" built they were just OK and nothing special. And the pictures she and Temple made were a waste of time that could have been put to better use.

Did anyone think that David's room reminded them of some of Vern's from Trading Spaces? That same elegant use of neutral tones, clean lines?

I did and I think that is why Vern was so gaa-gaa over it.

LOL You guys nailed it! It DID remind me of Vern's style now that you mention it. I wonder if David took the idea from one of Vern's bedroom re-dos and ran with it? I don't mean that in a bad way a lot of decorators take certain elements and incorporate it into their own design.

It reminded me of Vern too. He was always my favorite on trading spaces and I haven't watched it since he left. I'm glad David didn't do a room that would remind us of Hildie. The time she covered a living room's wall with hay I almost lost it!

Design Star has been renewed for a second season, will air a mini-series following the winner HGTV’s Design Star, which concludes Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET, will continue in November with a spin-off series that follows the winner. The series has also been renewed for a second season, which will air next year. Four episodes of Making of an HGTV Design Star will debut November 2 at 11 p.m. ET, airing Thursdays at 11, concluding on Thanksgiving. It goes “behind the scenes with the winner of ‘HGTV Design Star’ from the very first moment the winner is announced” and shows “what it takes to create the pilot of the designer’s new series.” That will follow either David or Alice, whoever was selected the winner yesterday, when the pre-taped finale was filmed. As to the second season, casting has not yet begun. The show’s web site simply says, “we’ll be accepting audition tapes for the next season soon,” specifically in the fall. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/design_star/2006_Sep_07_renewal_spin_off

David has been my favorite from the beginning and tonight just sealed it for me. His room DID look like a Vern room and that's probably why I loved it so much! David has GOT to win!

Thanks for the memories Lady and Zummat. Does anybody watch Trading Spaces anymore? Anyway that was a really good idea for Alice to host the new show and David design. TVCH members have better ideas than the tv stations.

I was SO hoping when they were handed the paint cans that it said that they both won!! What a lovely show. All the contestants were nice people that I enjoyed watching. Yes, there was a little snarking, but none of the usual 'lets make good tv' type of junk. Loved all the out takes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alice got a show out of this, too.

I did the happy dance last night. Glad David won. Alice's career will really be helped from this show. She was really good, but David was better! Can't wait to see his show. Maybe he will have Alice as a guest on one of them.

I was hoping they could be co-hosts, but this too is a game and there has to be one winner. Alice will be fine. She will be a sought after desinger now. It's all positive. I loved the car keys in the paint cans. They both looked a bit scared, lol

Just came across this update: Making of an HGTV Design Star "The four half-hour episodes crackle with energy as we follow our winner from the moment he won to the moment he starts shooting his new series. We'll get a behind-the-scenes look like never before as we watch Bromstad create his fantastic new series for HGTV." The first episode of this premiers on Thursday Nov. 2! Oh, and they're advertising all over the HGTV website for people to audition for a Season Two of this show!

Who, I watch a lot of HGTV and they've been advertising it for a couple of weeks now. I can't wait to see it! David was my fave from the beginning.

LOL, well I watch HGTV from time to time. But not all the time. I was fortunate enough to see the ad for this on whatever the heck I was watching yesterday (can't remember for the life of me right now what I was watching). Can't believe I saw the ad in time to see it! My luck usually doesn't run that way. I've got my DVR all set for it!
