Sounds like a blast. Can’t wait to watch to show in a few weeks.
I can’t wait to see the show and all of the other treats you have to share! You are super talented and so much fun (from the impression that I have gotten) so I am sure everyone who meets you just adores you. =) It looks like there will be plenty of inspiration heading our way as the holidays kick off. It’s such an exciting time of year!
xo, Jennifer
I have always thought of Kathie Lee as a class act, glad you had day with her…what book did she give you? That was really nice, no matter what, she did not have to do that…classy all the way…

Her home looks amazing and so does she. What a wonderful opportunity for you to meet and decorate her home for the holidays, so cool!
Sounds like fun Eddie and don’t you know, celebrities are just like the rest of us and many are down to earth and lovely. So glad it was a good experience for you! It looks great. You’ve been a busy little bee lately!
Wow, that is so great that you had the chance to do this!! She looks like she would be a blast to hang out with…then again so do you 🙂
I’m so excited to see the show. I have always liked Kathie Lee and thought she got a bad wrap in the press. She’s funny, kind and has a big heart.
CONGRATS! dec. 6th is marked on my calendar. have fond memories of how this show came about. exciting…….more inspiration on the way! do tell eddie and jaithan what else is in store?
fondly,
debra
I can’t wait to see what you have done with Ms. Gifford’s home. Christmas is the perfect season to pull out all the stops.
Eddie, Just look at you, now you are designing for the stars. I must say I knew you would reach the stars someday.Speaking of stars I think they are aligning for you my dear man. Great things to come. I just noticed it airs the same day you will be in Alameda, I better record it, I do not want to miss this.Hugs Kathysue
Eddie,
Of course you had a wonderful time like attracts like. Goodness spreads like a home holiday fire. How great is that? I can’t wait to see the show. Hope you had as much fun as your smiles revealed.

I know this will be a very exciting show! I love Kathie Lee!
Looking forward to the show!
I have always liked her I think she gets so much bad press…the way she gave that book to you…that is the real Kathi 🙂
I can’t wait to see this show !!!
Kathy 🙂
ps all Kathy’s are sweethearts LOL
Will look for your show! Well of course she gave you the book silly!
Watching hour 4 of the Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda and during commercial, checked my favorite blog — how’s that for kismet? Congrats on the show and the extra connections that this must bring your & Jaithan’s way.
One Christmas is nervewracking enough. I can’t imagine two. Had I been Kathy, I would have just kept everything up for the rest of the year!
i can’t wait to see it!!! looks like you guys bonded!! 🙂
xoxoxo
We cannot wait to watch you make magic…
Again, and again and again
From coast to coast and sometimes in the midwest. We are so looking forward to hosting you during your visit in Kansas City. Your friends at Creative Candles.
Congratulations!
Wish I could watch it here in Australia.
Sounds like she is an absolute gem, but don’t forget that she wouldn’t have given you the book had you not been a gem in return!

What a fun experience Eddie, Love the top picture of you two. 😉
OOOOO so good to hear how sweet Kathie Lee is. Usually you only hear the negative about famous people. I can’t wait for the program to air, and I’m dying to know what that “book” was. Especially since you thought it was so great!!!!

Designer to the stars! I do love watching YOUR rising stardom! Here’s to the show and to many, many more well-deserved successes!

I can’t wait to see how you decorated everyone’s home. I wish you could decorate a star’s home every week!

p.s. Brrrreaaaakfassssst!
From what I have seen in the past, Kathie Lee Gifford has always had the most gorgeous homes. I cannot wait what you have done. I am going to copy the ornaments above for the tree on my front porch. The plaids and checks are perfect for what I am doing out there. So, thank you for that inspiration. I can’t wait for the special. Thanks again!
Oh, fun, Eddie! I’ve always liked Kathie Lee & this sounds like a great show. I’ll be watching. Happy Thanksgiving to you & Jaithan!
I think your blog gets so much on attention because there was so many variety of topics you’ve got in here. Have a happy holiday! You guys are awesome.

How fun she always cracks me up!! That shows sounds like a great one – can’t wait to watch:)
Will definitely be tuning in to watch yu work your interior design magic, Eddie.
Thank you for the heads-up. 🙂

Green with envy and balsam…Wish you were decorating my home!
Lucky Celebrities!!

Would not miss it for the world.
XOXO
Looking forward to it.
Just went shopping at your Etsy shoppe. Really great selection.
LOVE that holiday image in the portfolio! Are those wax seals? Really terrific.
Eddie,
Can’t wait to see your HGTV show. I know it’s going to be great.
Thanks for the post.

This sounds great, looking forward to it!
Edward and I will be watching!!
I will surely be watching. I already have my DVR set up. I KNOW it will be wonderful. When I was looking at this month’s House Beautiful and saw the holiday table setting. I thought that was definately something I would love to do, it was so pretty and whimsical…. and then I saw you did it. It all made sense.. it was perfect!
-April
Hope it’s aired another time, since I am out tonight….
🙁
I have written it on my calender as a reminder!
I can’t wait!
Oh man…..I went to the Alameda Point Faire today and I saw you there! Well, I wasn’t completely sure it was you until I went home and checked your blog (I was a bout 98% sure, you were with Jaithan and I kept thinking either that’s them or there are some good look-a-likes in California)! Now I’m so sad that I didn’t sign up for your group shopping trip! Please come back to SF for another shopping trip so I can come this time!—on a side note, I did get some amazing stuff today, including a vintage sunburst mirror for $5!
Can’t wait to see it!
Watching it in Scottsdale now! Nice to see you on camera instead of print for a change. Happy Holidays!
just finished watching your show eddie……..of course yours was my favorite!
loved in particular the icicle garland you made, “shirt” ornaments and candy table.
amazing eddie how you pulled together the colors and elements of kathie lee’s home to glorious effect.
congrats!
xxo

Eddie, I just finished the show!! You did a fab job, as usual. I knew you would nail it and you did. Loved your men’s shirt ornaments…how cool those were!! Maybe you’ll do a post on them, they were really unique and fun. Glad Kathy Lee loved everything, how could she NOT?!! xoxo
Eddie- I loved what you did, and I am SO stealing the shirt-ornament idea : ) Beautiful as always!
Wow, love your splendid idea with the shirts made into ornaments…FUN! Kathy Lee was really taken! Nice job!
LOVED the show. You were fab – as always! Hi the NY Flea Markets on Saturday and thought of you and Jaithan. Merry Christmas – Wendy
Eddie and Jaithan, I just had an amazing day with the two of you at Alameda in the cold. Then I got to come home to a nice warm home and watched you on HGTV. You did a fabulous job on KG’s home. You did just the right amount of decorating, not too much,just the right touches everywhere. Loved the mantle, the wreaths in the windows and two trees. All the color choices were perfect,nothing competing everything married so well to her home. Great Job!! I hope HGTV does more shows with you. Again, thank you for such a fun day in Alameda, xoxox to you and Jaithan Kathysue
Eddie – LOVED what you did in Kathie Lee’s home !!! LOVED, LOVED, LOVED everything…
Looked like you were really enjoying yourself. I could tell Kathie Lee was thrilled, I’m sure you’ll be invited back time and time again.

Eddie,
Your house was the fav in our house. Love the shirt balls, how easy is that? I can see that technique with any cloth. Not into candy (kids are hyper enough at Christmas without the sugar!) but the colors were wonderful.
Hi Eddie!
I watched the Celebrity show last night it was good. All of the designs were good. Honestly your design impressed me the most. Kathy Lee is a nice and straight forward person – she has good taste. Your design suited her home very well. The shirt fabric covered ornaments were unique. I loved those especially – I am going to use your ideas! Thanks Eddie. Ciao.
Bravo!
She looks amazing by the way! Better than ever!
Eddie: You continue to impress and surprise! You were very instrumental over a year ago in my cousin Brian and Tina’s wedding in Greenwich, and I have been following you ever since (actually, I think I remember you from doing the centerpieces at Brian’s graduation party at Grass Island!). You are talented and wonderful, and you and Jaithan have the most beautiful surroundings! Keep up the good work and the inspiration for all of us! ~ Pattie Zeman-Coviello, Norwalk, CT
Eddie, I can’t believe how great your butler’s pantry looks, with such little change. Brilliant. What would you do with the mantle in an old 1880’s victorian dining room, stunning room, all quarter sawn oak, raised paneling, arts and craft kensington tiled mantle, inset tiffany window in chimney, w/ three tiers of shelves – georgeous but frou frou for my taste. Rest of room is clubby – I have huge navy brunschwig chairs, mahogany georgian furniture and old engravings layered above and on on the panels, a lovely 20’s sarouk but these mantle shelves are crying out for a stroke of genuis. any collector ideas? Any inspiring unusual mantle ideas?
Dear Eddie,
Please, PLEASE, give us step by step instructions for making the great christmas tree , and garland ornaments you made for Kathy Lee Gifford
Eddie, are you coming anywhere near Murray, KY which is on the KY/TN border about 80 miles from Nashville? Please let me know if you are, I’d love to see your ideas in person. You inspire me.
Eddie & Kathie Lee- two of my favorite celebrities! Love getting the preview of this show. Kathie Lee went to ORU here in Tulsa- wish she still lived here. Would love to see you do an event in Tulsa! Thanks!
Hi Eddie, I just happened to catch the broadcast last weekend and I was so excited! You were awesome and your simple and traditional holiday designs were absolutely fabulous. Can’t even tell you how much I loved it!
Please please PLEASE tell us how to make the paper icicle garland you created for the Gifford’s mantle. I absolutely loved it! Getting to work on the plaid ornaments tomorrow. Thanks, Eddie, thanks for the fabulous work you do!
You make decorating fun! You could make any home look like a celebrity home Eddie! Keep up the great ideas and come visit us out west for goodness sakes! Oregon would love you and you would love Oregon! Can we decorate a cabin or two? 🙂 I’d love to with you!
Whitney Edman
