Bobby Berk Gives Tiffani Thiessen’s Home A Holiday Makeover

Bobby Berk is known for his fresh, mid-century-inspired interior design. He brought that signature urban minimalist  style to the latest episode of the HGTV special Celebrity Holiday Homes, on which he gave 90’s teen star Tiffani Thiessen a beautiful home holiday makeover. Did you catch it?

Thiessen is remembered for her starring role as Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell and her turn as bad girl Valerie Malone on Beverly Hills 90210. Nowadays, the beauty is a working mom and wife, co-starring on the USA Network’s White Collar. For the special makeover show, Thiessen invited Berk to her lovely, rustic home to give it a festive face lift.

The holiday makeover proved to be an easy challenge for Berk, who understood Thiessen’s unique taste and the importance of keeping the décor family-friendly for Thiessen’s three-year-daughter Harper with actor Brady Smith. Together, they found a great blend of trendy and modern, while retaining that sweet holiday feel. In the end, Bobby, Thiessen, Harper and Brady were more than happy with the outcome.

Berk accentuated the natural charm of Thiessen’s home with lots of greenery adorably decorated with small details, quirky wreaths, animals and gnomes hanging over the family’s large fireplace, and a gorgeous tree decorated with pine cones, woodland creature ornaments and glittery bulbs. Viewers of the episode saw Thiessen’s mouth drop with awe after seeing the impressive makeover.

Hooked on HGTV Design Star 2010!

Whose watching Design Star on HGTV? Better question: Who isn't?! Design Star pits twelve designers against each other to compete for their own show on HGTV. It's basically the Survivor of interior design. Each week armchair designers watch judges Vern Yip, Candice Olson, Genevieve Gorder eliminate one contestant per week based on a design challenge. We have a real appreciation for Vern's 'tough love' when it comes to critiquing the designer's work. And we don't envy them, all of the designers are talented. It's to early to pick a winner right now, but the stereotypes are already present. Front runner for 'villain' on Design Star 2010 has to be Nina. She's opinionated, with a superiority complex that annoys her fellow cast mates. Her win in the first episode, irritated them even more but she quickly got knocked off her high horse, after she landed in the bottom two on last week's fashion episode. On the men's side Micheal Moeller has no problem telling his fellow team mates exactly what he thinks of their design sense. He told Trent in last week's episode, he didn't want to have to go behind 'restyling' Trent's contribution to the challenge. Trent chose not to argue, but was understandably upset at being told his design was bad. In the end, the adorable Courtland walked away this week's winner. He created a very sharp, modern striped wall mural as part of the fashion challenge. Unfortunately someone has to go home and so far two designers have been eliminated. The first week saw the departure of Julie Khuu and in last week's episode we said goodbye to Tera Hampton. Each gave their, "...I did the best I could. I know I am talented.." elimination speech. Now 10 remain and we'll start to see the competitiveness of some of these players. We're anxious to see more of Stacey's work and still waiting for Tom to really wow us. We can't wait for this week's episode! Stayed tuned for more Design Star updates! And by the way, former Design Star winner David Bromstad's vlog on the HGTV website is a-must-watch. Sometimes catty, but always constructive, his break down of each episode is hilarious!
