Michael Stribling is Our HGTV Design STAR!

Update July 17, 2008 - “How do I contact Michael to decorate my home?” You can reach Michael Stribling at http://www.michaelstriblinginteriors.com.
Did you know we have another “STAR” in our community? ANOTHER College Station resident is being featured on national television. Michael Stribling is one of the eight contestants on this season’s HGTV Design Star a reality competition design show. He is the youngest person to compete on Design Star!
HGTV says that he “attributes his success as a designer to his fresh and youthful approach to style.”
Michael’s approach to design is like a breath of fresh air. He actually listens to the client and can take their feelings and style and translate that into something beautiful. He is not interested in spending the most money or making a project “in his image”. He truly is interested in what the CLIENT wants even if they aren’t sure what that is yet. Through his creativity he can take a small boring space and make it look and feel larger. I’ve seen him take a small kitchen and with a little “out of the box thinking” turn it into an expansive area for entertaining.
With Michael, no project is too big and no one can find a designer that gives more of himself to the project.
Michael is the son of Danny and Linda Stribling of College Station, Texas.
Watch for the Design Star premiere on June 8, 2008 at 8pm Central and ENJOY!


Michael continues to surprise us all with his talent, willingness to try new things and ability to listen to what someone “really” wants and help them achieve it. Michael makes us all feel important! I know Michael is going to shine on the HGTV Design Star show in June!!!
Congratulations to Michael and proud parents Linda and Danny! Looking forward to the show in June…..I will defnitely tune-in!!! Michael, have faith, trust yourself and go for it! Remember that in design….”Less is More”
Mike that is great! All your friends wish all the best. I know your talant will shine for all to see.
I have been a big fan of my dear friend Linda Stribling’s son, Michael Stribling for years. His talents exceed so many and he truly deserves this honor. I hope that the entire Bryan-College Station Community will join me in watching Michael every Sunday starting June 8th on HGTV. Design Star is one of America’s most watched television shows and right here in Aggieland our born and raised star Michael Stribling is going to make us all proud! Congratulations little brother- I am rooting for you!
Linda,

Congratulations Michael! I can’t wait to see your talents on the show. You make College Station proud! You’ve come a long way…and I bet there is even more to come!
Hurray Michael! We are so proud of you! Can’t wait to see all your wonderful ideas! Congratulations & best wishes for being the viewer’s favorite design star!
Just read this article in the Houston Chronicle tonight (guess I’m a bit slow!) Congrats! His work looks great so far, can’t wait to see where he’ll go from here!!
Michael I was so excited to see you featured in the Houston Chronicle. I missed the June 8 show but will be watching every Sunday evening. Terry and I are so impressed that you have grown to be such a talented young man!
Wow Michael Stribling looked GREAT last night! It was wonderful to see him recover from freezing up. We have ALL had problems like that and he did a GREAT job recovering!
Oh my goodness, Michael Stribling is all grown up! I used to babysit for the Striblings many years ago, so it is a blast from the past to see the towheaded little boy now as a handsome and creative young man. I will be watching every show and cheering to Michael to win. Good luck!!!
Wow, congratulations Michael. We will be watching from Plano. What an exciting opportunity.
I would have to disagree that he is the new design star. I don’t like his attitude - like it or not he did railroad Tracee. I didn’t like his interview nor his style.
Hey LT - Guess you didn’t see how GREAT Micheal did on the show tonight!!! You may not like his style but the judges sure did!
I LOVE MICHAEL!!!! I mett him a little over a year ago and he is amazing. Full of energy and his talent shines. I watched Michael tonight and he continues to amaze me. Best wishes!!!
I thought Michael was amazing on the show I’m so disappointed with Sundays results I wish him the best of luck.
Hi Michael, I thought your performance on design star was so amazing. Your style is so fabulous, i just love it. But i must say you are so so cute. im 27 from philadelphia, 6ft blonde like you tall and thin. similar look to you. I love design so much as well, its my life and cher come on right haha. Feel free to respond to my posting if you want would love to chat with you.
Take care..
Joey
I also read, on your profile ur show is golden girls let me guesss you are blanche right haha.
P.S. love it too
Michael…don’t give up. You have great talent and eventually, it will be recognized and rewarded.
I believe your key is Vern Yip. Just a hunch.
Remember, many people fail to succeed because they fail to continue their dream. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!
Hang in there; I am thinking that there is more for you to come. Too many people love your boyish charm and innovative design concepts.
Keep the faith.
Blessings…Shae
Ok Michael, lets get to work. I need to enlarge my master bedroom and add a “WoW” bathroom.
Can you help?
Michael - They were SO WRONG to “cancel your show”!!! YOU were the star! HGTV Design Star is boring without you!!!
