On my show last week we met Stephan and Pascal Jean. They had a huge backyard that was for the dogs, literally. They empty space had tons of potential. They wanted an entertaining family oasis but had no idea how to spend their budget of $8500. That’s where I came in. . .They are from the Caribbean and this design style is a vibrant blend that mixes colors & fabrics. Tell me what you think of the finished product!

SPLURGES:

Krista Watterworth considers herself a true multi-tasker: mom, author, television personality, and interior designer. Krista starred in four seasons of HGTV's Save My Bath as host-designer and in 2009 will star in a new HGTV show called Splurge & Save. She has quickly gained celebrity for branding her unique aesthetic. According to Krista, designing and performing have two things in common: you have to delve into the heart of a person (or a character) to find out their intimate secrets, and then create an entirely personal world around that.
