So, that happened. Nuts, i know. I'm crazy excited and so exhausted. I took the day off yesterday to relax, i was pretty wrecked from sunday night. We had a ton of people out to celebrate with us. I'll post some pics as soon as i get them.
My saratonin has plummeted, such a big build up and adrenaline rush - almost like a wedding. I'm probably going to take today off again and go to the beach and relax. because that's what tv stars do.
Oh, and my 'client' (and friend) for the special is the co-creator of Glee, Ian Brennan, so if you like Glee you best be spreading the word about that. He's hilarious and awesome. And single, for all the ladies out there. Just sayin'.
So a lot is going to change here. The blog is going to transform a bit (it will still be a daily style blog), but we are still working out the details.
But for now, thank you guys sooooooooo much for all the support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. You feel vulnerable when you are on national TV, and some people you can never win over. So having this kind of fan base that has supported me long before Design Star means a lot.

A star is born! Wishing you all the best in the days ahead!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading for a while, but never commented. Congratulations, I'm so excited for your show!! ps I blogged about it today =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Emily! I watched Design Star for the first time this season and I am so happy you won! I only found your blog a few days ago and I love it!! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I think you are fantastic and I'm so excited to watch your show on Sunday night!!! Can't wait! Congrats again ;o)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your special this Sunday! Take a day or two off and just relax -- I imagine it has to be a lot to take in! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSincere best wishes! Your blog has become my daily favorite. I also watched design star for the first time because of you, and I'm looking forward to the special!

Change is in the air, when creative genius is shared.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
First off, congrats! So freaking cool. You were my fav from day 1.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I write a blog called Style Me Pretty, www.stylemepretty.com. It's a wedding blog. Which probably doesn't mean a lot to you, but I have a fun idea for some press for you if interested. We get about 6.7 million pageviews a month so a good sized audience. Sure you are super swamped but I'd love to run the idea past your PR team if they have a second. abby@stylemepretty.com
You should post your contact info!

Enjoy your rest, and get yourself a vocal coach to help keep that delicate voice in good shape.
I was a rock singer, and had an opera coach to teach me how to use my voice without killing it.

Congrats Emily! Like many others I was rooting for you from episode 1. I love your style and quirkiness. HGTV needs you and I can't wait to see your show. You're an inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, so excited about your show! HGTV had better put it online to watch for us cableless peeps. :) I'm looking forward to your styling tips since my house looks "fluff-challenged". Congrats and go get 'em!
ReplyDeleteI never watched the show, until I saw your design photos online -- and I loved your aesthetic so much, I went back and saw all the old episodes on demand. Congratulations on your new show. I'll definitely be watching!

Big congrats, Emily! I loved watching you on the show & really liked your designs, especially the last few shows. I know it had to be nerve wracking to do a show like that, national TV has to be scary. But, your personality shone through all the way & I'm sure you'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to interview you too for my blog, if you'd like to do so, please contact me! I think your show is going to be fabulous. HGTV has needed more variety for years now & I do believe your style could give them the pump they need.
Congrats Emily! You were my fav from the start. Your designs inspire me and I love your hosting style. Can't wait to see your show, I blogged about it today...hopefully that gives you a few more viewers. Although I am sure you will have plenty. :)
ReplyDeleteJust watched the final. So great!
ReplyDeleteI am so so so so soooooo happy for you! I was rooting for you early on! I don't have much else to say but, I'll be watching!!! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I finally watched the show on DVR last night and I screamed at the TV when you won! I never do that :) Def will be watching this Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! :) you are truly very talented.
ReplyDeleteEmily, you've been GREAT, I love to see you on TV! But sorry, it's not "saratonin", it's serotonin.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I already have your new show set up on my DVR! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the show concept! Cannot wait to watch this weekend! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you won!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I am so happy you won! I somehow came across your blog a couple weeks before you announced being on design star, and was excited to watch you on the show. I was hoping you would win all along! HGTV is lucky to have you - you are going to bring a whole new group of viewers to their network.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and good luck!
Yay! I cannot wait for your show! You are exactly what HGTV needs! So glad you won! PLEASE come to Louisiana and style my house!

ReplyDeleteI feel like I know you since i have been reading your blog for 5 months now!!!! I've never posted a comment for anyone but wanted to let you know that you were so much fun to watch on DS. It's one of my favorite shows and when you announced you were going to be on it....I felt like a friend made the cut.....Ah, and for you to win was super exciting!!! Enjoy this moment and I can't wait to see what you do next!.

ReplyDelete(and I'm so glad you won!!!)
So psyched to find you have a blog. You were my favorite since episode 1. I actually really liked that white-box room you did. I would have lived there no problem.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! The DVR is already set. Congrats!
GLEE! I LOVE Glee! :) Seriously, can this show get any better?! And it hasn't even started yet!!! Can't wait! :D
