Secrets from a Stylist Has Spawned My New Obsession

By now you’ve all heard that Emily Henderson won HGTV‘s Design Star and now has a show called Secrets from a Stylist. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved the first episode. I think she is adorable, I love her style and it’s the freshest program I’ve seen on HGTV in a long time.

There have already been a lot of reviews so I’ll leave it at that but the reason I’m bringing it up is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about these lanterns:

I actually gasped when she approached these.

She removed the white fabric and painted the black part white like so:

but I actually would like one as is. I’ve seen a lot of imported lanterns in my day but I’ve never seen one as gorgeous as these! The black and white is perfect! I am obsessed!!! I want. I need. I must have. (Emily: I saw that you walked out of there with two but I only see one being used in the house so if you have a spare . . .)

Has anyone seen these in the Atlanta area? Or anywhere driving distance from Atlanta? Or how about some good import stores in the area that I can look into? Help me, please, someone . . .

    …and to Australia pretty please!

    I might get my almighty huz to find the series online. Sounds wonderful and yes those lanterns are fantastic – in any colour I think.

    Good luck with your hunt!

    (perhaps call the producers?)

    Agree, I LOVE the lanterns. What I love more is the chest she used in the spare bedroom. I have one from my grandmother in the attic and have been meaning to pull it out. Now I have to get it all shined up!!

    I LOVE the show too but no offense Ally, forget about those lanterns! The old worn out chesterfield leather sofa was to die for, I gasped when I saw it!!!! I have been looking for one for years and she switched it out for that ugly sofa! I thought I was going to throw up!!! SERIOUSLY!!! Where can I get my hands on one???????

    I am so happy that she won and i watched that episode too and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved how she did a diagnostic test to determine her friend's style and also how she tried different furniture pieces to see what translates her friend's essence and style most. Also, she has such a kindred spirit. xx

    Oh Ally, this great post will have MOTH spinning around in circles! The coffee table in the Living Room looks just like the tool box on back of his truck. He will consider himself an immediate trendsetter, there will be no living with him!
