Hi Everyone!
Wow! It's been a long time since I've blogged... It's
been an exciting and busy year, so it's time that I
fill ya'll in!
As many of you may know (since the emails came pouring
in!) Spencer, along with new team headed up by Kahi in
moi's role and Abraham as design coordinator, debuted
their first episode as a team on Saturday night (and
began with a beautiful bang, I might add!) So I'm
responding to the question that so many of you wrote
in with- have I left Design on a Dime? The answer is
yes. After 4 years, I wrapped my last show back in
November with Dave and Spencer so that I could pursue
new projects.
For those of you who haven't caught it, I'm delighted
to say that I am now appearing on the Rachael Ray Show
as her "design buddy", and having a blast! I love
doing makeovers, so you'll still see lots of those,
but you can expect my segments to run the gamut. In
the first season, I was lucky enough to get an all
access pass to the Good Housekeeping Research
Institute where, you guessed it, they research
products and assign the coveted Good Housekeeping
Seal! It was unbelievable! I also spent 3 weeks in
Enterprise, Alabama, the town that was devastated by a
tornado. The community was determined to have the high
school's prom on it's intended date, though the high
school was destroyed, and 8 classmates were lost.
Rachael cooked, my friends Colby and Gretta helped the
kids with their gowns and tuxes and I dressed out
their space. It was a life changing experience, being
embraced by a community who were the embodiment of
strength and grace. It's projects like this that I'm
excited to start sharing with you.
We're gearing up for season 2, and I'm looking
forward to bringing you more makeovers and just plain
good design advice and tips. You'll still find me on
HGTV though, in plenty of unaired Design on a Dime
episodes as well as new projects.
Here's where I get mushy. If the sheer volume of
wonderful emails I receive from so many of you is any
indication of the success of the show, then I'd say
we've had a fantastic run. I feel very fortunate to do
what I love for a living, and share it with all of you
to boot! This show has been an enormous part of my
life- I'm proud to have been part of it and
overwhelmed by our fan's support. Thank you everyone,
for helping make our show a success. Stay tuned!
Love,
Kristan
