Secrets from a Stylist + Design Star

My hands down favorite show on HGTV is Secrets from a Stylist (followed by Selling New York).   Hosted by Emily Henderson, after winning last season of Design Star (I rooted for her all season), her presence on HGTV is a breath of fresh air.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, I love her style diagnostics where Emily sums up your style after you pick a few choice objects: the objects are always different whether it is a set of tiles, flowers, or wallpaper.  Saturday night, she summed up a couple's style after having them choose their favorite towel and chair from a set of miniature dollhouse chairs complete with Eames recreations.  I often pause the TV and have my husband pick out his object to see if our tastes match.  My husband is such a good sport to be subjected to most of my TV whims :)

Then, she diagnosis your style based on these items and sets out to design a room first by incorporating only one style and then layering in the second style to create two complete looks.  Emily Henderson also documents a lot of her sources on her blog, Style by Emily Henderson, after the show airs.  The second season of Secrets from a Stylist just debuted on Saturday night, and I think Emily Henderson hit it out of the park with the first renovation of a Master Bedroom.  Here are some of her past designs:
