Final Challenge - Hawaii!!

Goodness. Where do I even begin?!!

I really feel that I was able to focus on my vision, tighten up my process, and just execute the heck out of my design. My suite was a perfect representation of my style, my taste, and my abilities; it's a new personal best, and here's hoping that it marks the beginning of many more adventures in interior design.

No matter what the outcome, I am so honored to have taken part in Design Star, and I can't thank you all enough for championing me!
So please, VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!! Let's ensure that what we have here is the start of a long, happy relationship!

Kim, Congratulazioni!

You were absolutely fabulous on the last challenge. My parents never watch shows like this but did tune for Sunday's episode...my mother called from Arkansas to let me know that she thought you should win and that I should start looking for someone else to cut my hair...please have Paula add me to her client list...lol...so happy for you and your husband...fairy tales can come true, they can happen to you!

Buon Fortuna...

Sharon

Kim, you saved the best for last. This room was stunning!!! I cannot wait to see you being "crowned" this year's Design Star and to see what you have in store for America. I believe that you are an example of what the American dream is all about.

Thank you for being so fabulous!!!

Hi Kim,
I'm a friend of your inlaws and have been watching your competition ever since they told me about it. Just wanted to wish you all the best. You were outstanding; both your design and your hosting style. What a natural! Can't wait to see your show...you are going all the way to the stars! The Design Stars!

Kim, you've been my favorite since the first episode and you couldn't have made your fans any prouder Sunday night. Totally incredible work. I must echo what everyone else has said before me.

I've been voting like crazy and can't wait to see you crowned as the new Design Star next Sunday!

This room was TO DIE FOR. i loved the color palette, I loved the arrangement of furniture and use of space. the aqua and brown combo - dreamy! those gorgeous wood cut-outs - wonderful! I especially liked the ones you placed in the living area, against the orange wall.

your energy and enthusiasm is a delight to watch. sorry you had to deal with robb again, but lucky lucky you got Will for your last day of help. He was so obviously a sweetheart I wanted to give him a hug.
I hope great things happen for you! (and I've been casting my vote for the first Female Design Star!)

Hey Kim! My name is Ammu and you cut my hair twice at Insitu for Locks of Love...I was just there this past May--and you always transform my look and make me feel like a million bucks! I caught you on design star and knew that you'd make it! I just know that YOU are going to be the next design star! I am sooo proud of you and excited...but sad--because you said that you'd see me in 2 more years when I grew my hair to cut it again--and now you won't be there anymore...what'll I do without Kim?!?!? Can you base you show in NYC? I think I might be the only Staten Islander willing to sell your ice-cream (my family thought the name was a riot)--although I don't have a store!

Anyway---long story short--I hope you remember me--and I am rooting for you--voted for you all the way--and have all my peoples on it! Good luck and don't forget the small people!!! Hugs to you!

You are the greatest hairdresser I ever encountered, and an even more amazing designer!

Good luck!!
Ammu

LA said...

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy for you! You totally deserve it. Can't wait to see your show.

LA said...

p.s. If you are taking questions... I'm curious about a couple things. When was the series filmed and how long did it take to go from the penthouse to Hawaii?

Thanks!

A million congratulations, Kim!! I was thrilled to hear Clive announce your name. Besides your design talent you so obviously have class, poise, and integrity and it was a proud moment to watch you win this competition for all the right reasons. I can't wait for your show!
