I was tipped off to interior-design cutie Nate Berkus’ appearance on Oprah the other day by an entry on Zionide (thanks, Nick). Apparently an appearance on the show correlates to a spike in Nate-related search-engine referrals to our sites, where he gets mentioned now and then. So yes, Nate was on the other day to do a room makeover. (Thank goodness we get late-night reruns. TiVo to the rescue.) Though, honestly I think the room looked just fine before. Right? Usually they pick rooms in such dire shape to begin with. That said, I do like some of Nate’s additions, like the little, room-dividing wall and the large ottoman-coffee table.
Side note: I swear, the studio audience is always so hyper when Oprah does topics like this. It’s like an infomercial or a game show. Have you seen her periodic “Favorite Things” show, in which she gives away tons of free gifts? It’s crazy.
Anyway, further expanding her media brand empire, she has a new home-and-living magazine called O at Home, whose website introduces the room makeover with “Knock, Knock, It’s Nate! What would you do if TV’s hottest designer Nate Berkus showed up at your front door?”
Oh, honey. I think you know.

Can I just say how much I simply adore Nate Berkus? I watch O whenever he’s on.
O at Home…

Is Oprah poised to pick up what Martha Stewart is forced to drop when -if- she serves her jail time?
So that’s why you still maintain your little pied-à-terre in downtown D.C.
A little TiVo tip: You should wishlist him on lowest priority. That way it’s sure to pick up the late night episodes that don’t conflict with your higher priority programming…
I wish I could marry that man, I’d never touch another human being again. Pity the entire human race is after him and who knows for sure which team he plays on. Ugh!
thanks for the wishes and the email, i’ve been meaning to get back to you. I guess the reason we all love Nate is because he looks genuinely nice, kind, great looking, humble, like the antiquated Man of the World, except that he’s gay.
