Her designs are gorgeous and really well thought out. I like how she's willing to change the architecture and how she ALWAYS addresses lighting. (That seems to make such a difference!) Sometimes her rooms seem a little busy to me -- layers and layers of design -- but at the same time, I appreciate how everything always has a finished look. And I love all the texture she uses: glass, wood, tile, metal, mirrors, crystals, stone, fabric, embossed wallpaper, etc.
I also like Karen McAloon from the HGTV show Design Remix. I like how she takes what you already have in your room (or elsewhere in your house) and rearranges and repurposes it. I also think that she does a great job of identifying your personal style, based on your possessions, and then uses that as the springboard for her design. While Candice's rooms are always gorgeous, they have a sort of sameness of style to them. She has a certain aesthetic, and her designs seem to match her aesthetic. Whereas I think Karen McAloon tries to design from the homeowner's aesthetic. Her designs provide a nice mix of the familiar (because she uses the homeowner's stuff) and the fresh (because she provides a finished design that the rooms were previously lacking).
For a lifestyle like mine, Candice is the fantasy and Karen is the reality.
Are you sure that wasn't Hillary? She had dark hair also, and did awful things on trading spaces.
That was Hildy. That straw wall was truly awful.
I miss Trading Spaces. It was fun to watch.
My favorite designer now is Joanna Gaines, from Fixer Upper.
