Back in March I had a special chance to meet Blaire Lotz who was diagnosed with Legg Calve Perthes disease, a degenerative hip disease when she was only 9 years old. The things that you go through will shape you for the rest of your life, and I really love Blaire’s attitude because despite everything…
WOAH! My schedule has been jam-packed. First, I was at Epcot for the Flower & Garden Festival then I flew to New York City. I had an amazing time at the Staples event launching the Staples Sports and Art Prints. Lucky me, I ran into two of my faves from RuPaul’s Drag Race, Willam &…
I can’t believe the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is over!! I LOVE being at Disney World, if only I could live there forever. Thank you to all my fans that came out and stopped by my show. Did everyone learn about the power of color?

Girl, I’ve been CRAZY busy filming the new season of Color Splash. I know many of you have been dying for it to come back! Lucky for you, I learned how to use the Vine app. Here’s a sneak peek at a reveal I did yesterday. It was a Fuchsia moment. How fetch!!
A few years back, HGTV gave me the opportunity of a lifetime by letting me participate in the first season of HGTV Design Star. With the new season of HGTV Star (Yes, a new name but same show!!) debuting on June 9th at 8pm/7c, I thought I’d give up-and-coming designers the opportunity to get their…
Rapture Blue and Frolic are two of my fave colors right now! Rapture Blue is great for an accent wall to make a huge impact along with accents of the same color. Perfect for a dramatic and gorgeous space. Frolic is one color that goes perfect with charcoal grey. If you haven’t noticed this I…

In the spirit of April Fool’s Day, I thought I’d dig into the archives for old photos. Take a look at the ones that I happened to find. Who let me wear this stuff? Let’s hope these fashion trends don’t make a comeback. Talk about EMBARASSING. Who wears short shorts? I sure did!

For the most recent issue of HGTV Magazine, I was asked what fun decorating color I’m currently obsessed with — Sassy Red. A little red goes a long way! I like it on dining room walls, or in a high-gloss sheen on dressers, nightstands, and kitchen cabinets. It brings life to old, tired pieces. Give…
