“I had thousands of people that wanted to work with me,” she said.
“I tripled my corporate salary in the first six months of being an entrepreneur.”
She was selected as one of the eight designers to compete on the show.
At the finish line: a $50,000 prize and the opportunity to star in an HGTV show.
Hamilton’s telegenic on-camera presence and her sleek designs quickly caught the eyes of the show’s viewers.
When the dust settled, she was declared the winner.
“Throughout this competition, I created spaces that were more and more ‘me.’
I laid it all out on the table here,” she said (viaHGTV).
The season consisting of just six episodes then aired on HGTV in early 2022.
The renters who appeared on the show were reportedly thrilled with the end results.
After the episodes aired, HGTV didn’t offer any news about the show’s potential return.

“I want to live and cherish the moments that I have rather than chase down success.
If success comes, that’s amazing, but I’m not a hustler.
She’s continued to abide by that philosophy.
In another house tour this one appearing inSchoolhouse she declared herself a firm believer in form following function.
“Once you determine what needs to happen, you could determine the look,” she added.
There were a few differences between the earlier series and this new one.
That was evident in a post about her kitchen remodel that appeared onFireclay Tile.
“She sourced Fireclay for her bathroom renovation, and I loved the look of the handmade tiles!”
She explained that she chose the brand’s Serengeti pattern for the hallway she was redesigning.
“Whatever it is, make those moments a little bit more special.
I attempt to find that in every moment that I’m awake … just letting the light in.”
The show’s premise is right within Hamilton’s wheelhouse.
