Design Star Challenge - Mark Burnett Productions/HGTV

Set Dresser

In episode 1 each contestant was paired up with one Set Dresser to create a style that represents another opponent. This room before was bare and white. In the span of 3.5 hours I had to help the designer create this look. Which included painting the floor the same color as the wall. I also had to decoupage the table and headboard

Oversaw all Props

Every Prop is authentic to what they use in Prisons purchased through various correctional facility companies. I hired an welder to build the two beds made to the measurements the director wanted.

The hardest prop to find was the Prison Toilets at a budget friendly price . They generally cost over $2,000 and take 12 weeks to be delivered. I called all plumbing fixture company in the New York state area. In one week I found one for $500 at a small company in Albany 2 hours away. And rented the other from a prop house.

I sceniced the nuts a dark brown and added crushed up cork and fake leaves to give it volume. All glued to a sceniced camping tin.

The bred prior to this photo was a pale yellow. I had to scenic paint the bread to a more realistic look. Carrots were also sceniced to look like they were just picked off the earth. Bag was distressed.

The fishing pole prior to this picture was modern with a plastic black handle. To give it an aged look I painted the handle with various tones of acrylic brown. To give it a textured cork look, the lighter part, I took a piece of crumpled tissue and Mod Podged it over the handle. I painted it a pale yellow and then lightly dry brushed it to give it a cork like look.

Before these fishes were blue and white rubbery looking. I researched the type of fish they wanted and carefully replicated it using acrylic paint.
