I’m obsessed with [interior design]. It’s the passion I never knew I was going to have.”
Here is what you need to know:
1. Bromstad Has Been a Mainstay of HGTV for 15 Years
For 15 years, Bromstad has been a mainstay of HGTV. In 2006, he competed in and won the first season of “HGTV Design Star,” later returning as a mentor and host. After his win, he went on to host the interior design series, “Color Splash.”
One World Information reports the star earns $500,000 a year from his current series, “My Lottery Dream Home.” It reports he also earns $30,000 from other television appearances.
His other HGTV credits include “Beach Flip,” “Design at Your Door,” “Rock the Block” and “Brother vs. Brother.”
2. Bromstad Owns a House in Orland, Florida
In the HGTV special, “My Lottery Dream Home: David’s Dream Home,” Bromstad searched for a house in Orlando, Florida with the help of his friend Greg Stotthunt.
He was successful, buying a “beautiful five-bedroom, four-bathroom Tudor listed at $950,000,” according to Realtor.com.
Bromstad exceeded his initial budget by $50,000, citing the backyard as having won him over.
Explaining why Orlando was the perfect fit, he told the outlet, “All my friends were in Orlando. My parents were an hour north, in The Villages, so I needed to be back here, and it was a perfect fit. The real estate prices are not atrocious like in Miami.”
3. Bromstad Has Collaborated With Luggage, Decor and Shoe Brands
In 2015, he partnered with the luggage company Kipling for “a spot-on vintage-inspired collection of travel pieces,” according to Style Caster. Prices on the items ranged from $59 to $429.
“I was sitting waiting for my luggage—of course it was black—and the stress of [locating it] was too much. I sent an email to my agent right then and said let’s contact Kipling,” Bromstad told the publication. “They’re all about color and pattern and fabulousness.”
Bromstad has also worked with Sobel Westex Home, Naturalizer and Grandin Road.
