Congrats on your win & the launch ...Dear Emily,<br />Congrats on your win & the launch of SFAS. It is exciting to see a new hook like personal style translated into design on HGTV - YEAH! But mostly we loved watching a home grown gal win - Oregon chicks rule!<br /><br />I'm sure you are busy with the new show and all. If you could make it back to Oregon to do a meet & greet with fans let us know - we can make it happen at one of the shows. We would love to host you at one our shows in Eugene. Being close to the UO & OSU we get the young design professionals and the homeowners to our FREE admission home & garden events. <br /><br />Heck, we'd be happy to have you cut the ribbon at our sustainable Good Earth Home, Garden & Living Show at the chickens over the aisle pavilion. It would be so fun for Oregon homeowners to hear about your success on HGTV.<br /><br />Hopeful & Best Wishes,<br />Karen & Terie' aka Eugene Home Show Gals<br />EugeneHomeShow.comKarenhttp://www.eugenehomeshow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-77104587186535779012010-09-05T19:47:30.262-07:002010-09-05T19:47:30.262-07:00Hi Emily, I just caught up with SFAS on my DVR and...Hi Emily, I just caught up with SFAS on my DVR and I loved it! So did my husband, who usually balks at anything besides sports. We both really loved how you showed the design process as an actual process and not just a before and after. I really enjoyed that you showed 3 stages of work before finding one that Ian was happy with. Your show seemed so much truer to the way us mortals go about design (i.e., bit by bit, in waves) but you also gave us your professional wisdom. I really hope we get more of your secrets soon!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05710750619726869947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-25722899312472689142010-09-05T15:41:38.170-07:002010-09-05T15:41:38.170-07:00Emily--My husband I were thrilled when you won the...Emily--My husband I were thrilled when you won the Design Star competition. Even better was your first episode so soon after Design Star. You are marvelous--your easy and relaxed explanation of what's going on it your head, the interesting concept of exploring your client's style and your methodology, and the final concept that conveys a sense that your client is the source. We are looking forward to ongoing episodes. Can we get you to do our house?

I found a book called "Found Objects" at the library a few months ago and have started purchasing from salvage and antique stores. You are giving me great direction on how to style these fantastic finds. I even purchased an industrial writing table with wheels a few weeks ago and was delighted to see that you purchased one on your show for Ian and painted it a glossy black. I have painted mine a peacock blue color. <br /><br />Thank you for adding such originality to HGTV, as it was in need of an update! <br /><br />I can't wait for the next show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-55453830717119434922010-09-02T19:35:04.563-07:002010-09-02T19:35:04.563-07:00Hello Emily--Family friend of your best friend and...Hello Emily--Family friend of your best friend and a big supporter of yours, JoAnn here. I knew from the first show, despite that awful room, that you won---not because anyone spilled the beans, but because you captivated the judges. Each episode I was more and more convinced you would have your own show and mostly because I enjoyed watching you so much. I could see the wheels turn. Eventually the design caught up to your ability and you blew me away with green room. A-N-Y-W-A-Y--Excuse my ramble, I am writing because I MISSED YOUR FIRST SHOW! i keep looking for it on Demand, etc. and can't find it. Do you know when it will be repeated?

Even from the first episode of Design Star (probably was a bit biased) but I totally guessed from that first episode that you would win... and you did! <br />I think your new show is just fabulous. We needed something interesting to add to that channel! I love your personality and whole style approach, it is very refreshing. <br />You are doing great! Don't worry about making everyone happy...just keep being yourself, that always wins!

You've got style that is way OVERDUE in the HGTV world, and not only that you are gregarious, Charming, warm and genuine, they hit the JACKPOT! I was eating up all your ideas that you shared! Like how it was edited in such a way that the viewer felt like we were part of the process - who doesn't want that (plus, I kept saying to my MAN "see she's a real designer and does that" to support my SavArmy and Thrift purchases,HA)?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749500766176538250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-57043086121506689692010-08-30T12:57:12.247-07:002010-08-30T12:57:12.247-07:00Love love love the show.

I loved seeing the same room done three times and loved each look - FDR chic was my personal favorite. I feel empowered to use these tips in my own life - a first time ever for me and I've watched HGTV for years. I love your show and if it doesn't become a regular part of HGTV, I will be SUPER disappointed. You were my pick for Design Star and you didn't disappoint me!
