top design interview: margaret russell

yesterday i picked up the phone and had a short chat with top design judge and editor in chief of elle decor, margaret russell. i've been intrigued by margaret's blog for a while now (it's much more candid than the editing makes her appear on camera) and was excited to get to ask her some questions i've been dying to ask for a while now. why so many team challenges? why can't they meet their clients? did the judges regret any of their decisions later? you can hear margaret's answer to all of these and more (and find out who inspired her to see space differently) by clicking play below. thank you again to margaret and bravo for their time (all photos are from bravotv.com).

[stay tuned for photos, another interview and hopefully some insider gossip tomorrow after the meet up tonight...]

[NOTE: all scholarship applicants- please tune in tomorrow for the finalists. there were some techinical glitches with a number of applications so i needed another day to process everything]
