THE FAMILY GARAGE GETS A MAKEOVER IN AN ALL-NEW EPISODE OF BRAVO'S 'TOP DESIGN' ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7 AT 10 P.M. ET/PT WITH SPECIAL GUEST JUDGE MARK RIOS

Designers Face Clutter and Mayhem In This Family Garage Overhaul

NEW YORK - March 5, 2007 - Bravo's "Top Design" finds the remaining seven interior design contestants working together to create a dream garage for the all-American family on Wednesday, March 7 @ 10 PM ET/PT. It's no easy task as they compete to please a demanding family of six - including three precocious kids, two parents, and a dog. Watch what happens as the designers put their skills to the ultimate test in an attempt to turn an unfinished, cluttered garage into a functional space - replete with a stage for the children's plays and costumes; room for the family SUV; a home office space; and a super-plush dog bed. With the help of special guest judge Mark Rios, an award-winning architect, one contestant will create the "Top Design," and another will be sent packing. Photography is available on Media Village at www.nbcmv.com/bravo.

Joining host Todd Oldham ("Top Design" host, designer) are judges Jonathan Adler ("Top Design" lead judge, interior designer), Margaret Russell ("Top Design" judge, editor-in-chief of ELLE DECOR Magazine) and Kelly Wearstler ("Top Design" judge, interior designer), who - along with a special guest judge Mark Rios (architect) - will decide who has created the "Top Design," and who will be sent home.
