This week, we’re rebroadcasting and expanding upon one of our
favorite Second Life episodes from the archives with Emily
Henderson.

Even if you’re not a big follower of interior design, you’ve
probably at least heard of Emily Henderson. The prolific home
style expert and design guru is a winner of HGTV Design Star (and
now host for the network),
has her own website, is New York Times best-selling author
of Styled:
Secrets for Arranging Rooms, from Tabletops to
Bookshelves, and is Target’s home expert and spokesperson.
Additionally, she’s inching toward one million followers on

Instagram, where she documents her flurry of drool-worthy
projects (it’s seriously a must-follow).

While it may be hard to believe that Henderson ever did
anything besides what she’s doing now, before she became a highly
successful interior designer, she worked as a prop stylist for
editorial shoots for years. Upon moving from New York to L.A.,
Henderson realized that it would be difficult to continue her
full-time career as a prop stylist there and applied to HGTV’s
Design Star as a joke in 2010; she ended up winning. 

Head to iTunes to subscribe to Second Life, and listen to this
episode to hear more about how Design Star kick-started
Henderson’s second career.Keep scrolling to get a glimpse of her
jaw-dropping work.

Moore went from touring with *Nsync to This Is Us.
