"After nine weeks of challenges and twelve contestant cuts, the verdict is in, and Nathan&amp;#039;s quirky and artistic style has prevailed! This promising provacateur will snag $100,000, a spread in ELLE DECOR, and the grand title of Top Designer, and we can&amp;#039;t wait to see what else he&amp;#039;s got in store. But decorating a bare-bones townhouse from top to bottom is no easy feat, and in the finale, Nathan, Ondine, and Preston all showed us what they were made of, giving us three houses that were wildly different, but each fun and inviting in their own way. These style survivors have all had their moments of beauty and blunder, and in the end they were all winners. Take a look at the three final designers&amp;#039; highlights (and lowlights) from past episodes, and stay tuned for style secrets from Nathan and the two runners up!          Nathan His style: Bonkers. Rock and roll. Garish. You just never know what you&amp;#039;re going to get with Nathan. And that&amp;#039;s half the fun. According to Margaret Russell, Nathan&amp;#039;s signature is his &amp;quot;quirky aesthetic and artistic bent.&amp;quot; Why he won: He&amp;#039;s versatile and surprising. His final space was everything we love about Nathan - provocative, intelligent, colorful and exciting, and that last-minute painting was to die for! Want to see more?

Ondine Her style: Classic Ondine is &amp;quot;modern, happy, quirky, sweet but not cloying, vintage-y, cool,&amp;quot; says Jonathan Adler. She pairs a boho vibe with elegant, comfortable interiors. Why we still love her: Ondine&amp;#039;s a fighter. After Andrea gave her a lifeline by sending herself home, Ondine pulled it together and delivered a room that, as Russell says, was &amp;quot;snappy, happy \u2026 planned and put-together.&amp;quot; And her super-chic house from the finale truly made her the comeback kid.

Preston His style: Boutique hotel chic. His interiors are polished, dramatic, clean, and modern. Why we still love him: He&amp;#039;s cool-headed and consistent. &amp;quot;I love that he knows just what he can accomplish in the allotted time and makes it look amazing\u2026Preston isn&amp;#039;t a provocateur, but he is a brilliant designer,&amp;quot; Adler says. Preston&amp;#039;s house was cool, glamorous, and impeccably designed throughout. When you go with Preston, you know exactly what you&amp;#039;re going to get. Want to see more?
