Have you heard that Nate Berkus is going to have his own show this Fall? Well, he is! I just adore Nate’s style and all he does and have followed him for years since he first made an appearance on Oprah’s show, decorating up a storm. The guy is fantastically talented, no doubt about it and it doesn’t hurt that he is a handsome rascal too! 🙂
Nate’s new show launches September 13th in NYC and I can’t wait to see it! I heard from those very funny Moggit girls on Twitter that they suggested to Nate (via Twitter) that there should be a show with the WHOLE audience filled with design/decor bloggers and that he has promised it will happen. Now wouldn’t that be fun? I’d LOVE to be a part of that one! There are a bunch of bloggers sharing posts today about Nate and their favorite projects of his, so I’m joining in too. Click here to see the whole list of bloggers blogging about Nate today.
Since I have his book, Home Rules, I’ll share one of those. He has done so many fantastic projects, it’s hard to pick one. This happens to be the very first project he shared on the Oprah show back in 2002 and was the redo of a 319 s.f. historic brownstone in Boston that had 18 foot ceilings. Talk about a dramatic change, this one was stunning:
When a space is this small, every inch counts and Nate made the most of every tiny millimeter.
Stylish, beautiful, not to mention functional too.
Nate has hit so many homeruns in his career and I can’t wait to see more. And how I would love to be in the audience of the decor bloggers this Fall. If you’d like to get in on the opportunity, you can post about it too and put your name on the list. I don’t know how they will choose who is going to be invited, so we’ll all find out.
Pick me, Nate’s producers, pick me, I’d love to go to the show in person with all those other design bloggers!
Do you remember Nancy Golden from HGTV fame many years ago? That’s none other than Nate’s pretty and talented mom, so the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Do you enjoy Nate’s design talent too?

I know, I heard it on the Oprah show! I love that small room makeover…, simply stunning! And he’s such a sweetheart too. I hope you get to be in the audience!
I also heard this on Oprah. They visited the same place you are showing and she hasn’t changed a thing! Loves it and it still looks wonderful! I will be looking for his show. He seems like such a nice man and not full of himself like some of them get! So talented!
LOVE Nate! I’ve been to the Oprah show twice and prayed Nate would be there on those dates, but he wasn’t. 🙁
I have a question about the beadboard wallpaper you sell. If you get a chance could you please email me? Thanks!

I love Nate! He’s so talented and handsome…errrr, I mean talented and hot. Whoops, what I meant was talented and charming! There…I knew I’d get it right at some point.

Love Nate, and am super excited for his own show! I too could not believe what he did with 319 sq. ft!! I used to watch his mom’s show religiously as well, what a sweet lady and she taught Nate a ton.
I LOVE Nate Berkus and his style. I always watch Oprah when he’s on. I don’t think he’s ever had a room makeover that I haven’t loved. I will definitely be tuning in when his new show airs!
I guess I have missed Nate….I am not a big Oprah fan. Love love love his style though. I am working with tall ceilings in my townhome and it is a challenge. Rhoda…cheering for you to be on Nate’s show. Love love love your blog as well.
LOVE him…….he is so talented and charming, did not know that about Nancy…I happened to see the Oprah show when the announcement was made !!! I always tape Oprah when he’s on and watch over and over to get all the details…. I think alot of us do that !!! lol
I sooooo hope you get to go to the taping…… 🙂
Kathy 🙂
While I’m not a huge fan of Nate’s style in general I adore him as a person. He is so genuine and charming…you just can’t help but love him :o) Can’t wait to see his new show!!!!!

I didn’t know that Nancy Golden was his mother–what an interesting tidbit. I always loved her on Decorating Cents…it looked like she and Joan Steffen always had a good time and hers were some of the less, shall we say, weird and themey designs.
I miss the old HGTV, back when it had actual gardening and design shows instead of real estate, real estate, real estate. I hardly ever watch anymore.
I too miss the old HGTV…why all the real estate now? So phony baloney when they tour those homes for sale. They used to have some great decorating shows back in the days. Remember Lynette Jennings? Nate is a great guy and has a big heart….his decor ideas hit me sometimes and sometimes not, but still look forward to his show. Gotta be better than most reality shows.
Love that quote “working the room floor to ceiling”! Thanks for joining us on NateDay and for the great post!j
Hmmmm. I’m a Nate fan but not of his decorating. I think he’s cute and charming, but I am ambivalent in re: his style. I remember on an Oprah show he totally shot down anyone who had artificial flowers in their home. Well, not all of us can afford real hydrangeas……some of us have to have fake ones.
‘Hope that didn’t sound mean. I do wish him good luck!
I also miss Decorating Cents and some of those other shows on HGTV.
I LOOOOVE Nate, and his style! I am super excited about his new show too! I didn’t know that was his Mom! I hope you get to go and be in the blogger audience! Good luck, Rhoda!!! XO, Pinky
I never saw Nate on Oprah either, as I never watch ….. but have heard much about him…. gee, wouldn’t it be fun to have a “where- are -they- now” show of former wonderful shows on HGTV? My absolute fave was Kitty Bartholomew….. who inspired by putting her tool belt on , and never being afraid to get her hands dirty! Not only was she cute, but what a dynamo at getting so much into her short 30 mins! Wish I had the library of her shows today… so many still remain in memory as outstanding….. she always ended with the reminder….” remember it’s not what you don’t have, but what you do with what you do have!” Timeless advice, n’est-ce-pas?
I adore Nate as his designs and makeovers bring about such positive energy. I would love for him to come into my home and fill it with his energy. Nate, my best wishes for your upcoming show, it is going to be a HIT:)
Dear Mr Nate
My son (SSG Darren Peterson will soon be home from his 3rd tour of deployment in Iraq. His hopes and dreams are to purchase a home and have me fly out from Dallas to help decorate it. I am in need of your help, because I can’t decorate. He is a person who has given so much from serving our country to donating to different organizations monthly. Over the last deployments he has returned to find his home robbed and his cat & dog gone missing. Please help me to give him the home decorating
We have a garage apartment that needs heat and plumbing, bathroom ,kitchen, etc. Unfortunately , I had a stroke that left me paralyzed on the left side, and out of work. My wife works 8-12 hour days to make enough to pay the bills. We were going to fix up the apartment and rent it out(we have someone who wants to rent it) but we cannot afford to fix it up. Can you help? Thank you. Don Squires
I love Nate. I watched him on Oprah whenevery I could and read every article I have seen. I see him on the shopping clubs too!! Love it! I am decoratingly challenged to the highest degree and I would love to be on Nate’s show to see him in person so maybe some decorating savy will rub off on me. I have a small space and I saw the time he was on Oprah and decorated this teeny tiney place into a gorgeous, beautiful space I would love to live in.
Pick me Please!!!!!!
love you Nate
Mary
