Two Contestants Sent Home On HGTV's "Design Star"

HGTV's "Design Star" had a surprise ending for their episode last night. Not one, but two designers were sent home. The competition featured a crossover with the network show HGTV'd. The designers traveled to New Jersey where they were assigned the task of redecorating an entire house. Each contestant received their assigned room by a random pick. Karl got the master bedroom, Meg the two foyers. Mark would redo the living room and adjoining dining room, while Kevin tackled the family room. Leslie and Kellie each chose the two childrens' bedrooms. The camera challenge for the week was to actually film the designer revealing their room to the owners of the home. John Gidding, of "Curb Appeal: The Block" was the guest judge. After a flurry of shopping and installing and fluffing, each room was revealed. The judges favored Karl's master bedroom and declared him the winner of the challenge. Mark was highly praised as well for his "music lounge" living room and use of raw wood in the dining area. That was where the accolades ended. Meg's foyers seemed rushed, or unfinished, and Kellie failed to give family member Mason the bunk beds and "locker room" look that he requested. Leslie's boy bedroom for Kyan was a mass of clutter. Even the letters of his name were not hung level. Kevin's family room layout was odd, and the judges didn't know what to make of a lone coffee table placed in front of the fireplace. All of the designers seemed frantic in the last half hour with the exception of Karl and Mark. After their usual huddle, the judges declared Karl and Mark safe. Leslie was sent home. Then, in a surprise move, Tanika announced that a second contestant would be sent home as well, and that person was Kevin. Perhaps his "over the top, gushing" reveal was his undoing. Personally, I thought Kellie would go because she clearly did not give Mason the features that he requested for his room. We are left with four designers: Karl, Meg, Mark and Kellie. The judges warned them that from here on, they must bring their best efforts to fruition. It looks like a race between Mark and Karl, but anyone can have a bad day. Stay tuned next Monday night at nine. By Bailey Hinson - Jersey Shore Clamdigger(native) who loves the water, painting and anything chocolate.

What type of box did hgtv use on their displays of prints/photos on small square boxes? Old puzzles?
I looked at hgtv online and can't find anything on them and I searched a couple other things as well. Does anyone know how to do this? I need the boxes, are they old puzzle boxes or something else? What could I use and I want it to be 4-5 inches. I want to hang pictures of the beach on little square boxes of some type all around our ceiling border, I only want them to be small for a beach type theme in the room and not take over everything. MAYBE 5 inches at the MOST.

How do I turn a boring 2 br apartment into a functional home for 2 adults and 2 preschoolers? On a budget!?
We have to move into a little 2 br apartment in a modern apartment complex for at least the next six months-- how do I make it work? We have a 2 year old, 4 year old, and I spend a lot of time at home with them so it needs to be comfortable. My concerns are 1. making it feel like home, not sterile and bland 2. making everything fit in a small space 3. staying organized so home isn't a mess all the time Advice please! I've checked out HGTV online but the ideas seem geared towards childless people with more money than I have right now. IKEA and Target are about my financial speed, lol. If we had more money we wouldn't be in an apartment . . . :P
