HGTV's David Bromstad To Speak February 6th


When David Bromstad was crowned the original HGTV Design Star, he was an accomplished artist and muralist and had spent years designing dream bedrooms for children across the Southeast US. A self-taught builder, David also honed his carpentry skills by creating all the furnishings and props for each of the fantasy rooms he created. But designing kitchens, baths, master suites and great rooms?

Today he is one of the most celebrated interior design personalities on television and the star of his very own design show, Color Splash, on HGTV. But even a few years ago David could not have anticipated his swift rise to fame.

David’s infectious blend of energy, creativity and dedication to each project distinguish him as a truly unique artist, design personality and television host! In addition to Color Splash, he has appeared on HGTV Showdown, HGTV’s $250,000 Challenge, The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Wendy Williams Show, Martha Stewart Living Radio and CNN.
