WATCH THIS // Inside Design: The Reality of Living with Style

The designer contestants meet at 3rd WardReady, set, design. The challenge was simple, the time limit insane, and the prize amazing...

Create a room that exemplified humanism, creativity, and functionality. 24 hours to design. 24 hours to build. A $5,000 budget, half of which had to be used at IKEA. And the prize? All the furniture, a new Macbook, and our favorite -- an Unlimited Membership at 3rd Ward.

Four very talented and diverse NYC-area designers duked it out for the judges, including our very own Marketing Director, Jess.

Watch the design magic happen and the winning design come to life in a Manhattan loft in this 3-part webseries at Babelgum.com.
