Color Splash. Def Fave.
I met David in a club with one of my friends, he was terrific hanging around us just laughing and talking. Anyone who came up to him David would start conversations making each person feel comfortable talking with a celebrity. A very genuine guy I was impressed by his serenity and kindness. It proves that being kind , genuinely so, is what drew in viewers. He’s kind, great looking, funny, and much taller than it seems on TV.

I think the reason for all his tattoos is due to him not being happy with himself. That's just how I feel about anyone who covers themselves with tattoos. His tattoos and way he dresses brings lots of attention to himself. It's sad but I still like him and watch his show.

David is a good looking handsome gut especially before all those tattoos. He just has too just has too many but, still handsome ❤🥰
Met him as I was boarding a plane in Orlando. I just casually said, “ Hello David” and he gave me a big smile and started chatting me up. I was traveling with my little dog and even nice to her as well.
I love David he is so joyful and happy! When I see him, he makes me happy!❤
I absolutely love David! He seems so friendly and easygoing!! Very nice personality. I love his show My Lottery Dream Home, I’ve been a fan for a long time now and will continue to be for more years to come. ❤

I'm from Australia and randomly saw an episode of that show. Was taken aback by how charming he is with that gorgeous smile, and his fun loving personality. What also stood out for me was how authentic he was and able to connect with people on their own level to make their dreams come true as much as his own. I had no idea of his background before watching this video - so nice to see his journey to success while being still so true to himself.
My favorite designer and host. He is one of a kind. No bells and whistles just David.

@isobelkirk6602.......I thoroughly agree with you. The tats on his neck really hurt his good looks. I just don't understand why people feel the need to do this to themselves. There are times that he even has the ones on his neck covered with makeup - so he might have some regrets.
David Bromstad is wonderful in all his transformations. Met him in Miami at a Publix and he was the nicest guy. Wish him all the best in his creative outlets!
Love David!! Voted for him on Design Star back in the day.
I watched David from day one on HGTV and knew he would win and become a Star. I know that arena can be hard as well as I don’t know him personally. I, myself do not have tattoos but it’s a personal choice and have many relatives that do have them. My grandson has them on his face and neck which is the ONLY place I asked and he promised he wouldn’t put them, and he lied to me and did it anyway. David has such an outgoing personality and his creativity is amazing. When I saw the neck tattoos I was shocked he did that. But, to each his own and if that made him happy more power to him. But, he is still David just with tattoos. Good luck in your life’s journey and I’ll still watch whatever you do☺️🙏

Yes, indeed he was a handsome man. It's amazing what people see when they look in the mirror. Like celebrities who get plastic surgery. Some don't need it. Some don't know when to stop getting it Whether it is plastic surgery or tattoos, when they look in the mirror they don't like what they see. Those who play with knives just don't like what they see, they are vain, and think this is what they need to do to stay in the business. Or to hold on to their youth Tattoos of this degree may be he doesn't like what he sees as well and is trying to cover it up. Some wounds you just can't hide

I have 3 tattoos on my upper arms and they are surprisingly addictive for something that hurts (physically and financially). That said, getting anything anywhere near my face or hands was never going to happen - I doubt that I would have gone for a single job interview if they were visible. Tattoos are a lot more accepted now but I really can't see why David got so many. Horses for courses, I guess - I wish him well.
I’ve watched him for many many years starting creating a room competition. Just Love him

I am turned off by all of his body tattoos. He used to be so gorgeous. I can't believe he did this to his beautiful body.
The only thing I don't like about his Lottery Winner show is that he doesn't get to show his creativity. I used to love Colour Splash, but his style changed when he moved to Florida and missed his original show. He was my choice for winner on the HGTV Designer show...Happy he is thriving.

Ruined that beautiful body, his perog I know, before you attack, blah blah, but damn he was so pretty. Now he looks like a thug. Still love him though.
He's so kind and encouraging to everyone on MY LOTTERY DREAM HOME.
I remember when he won. I liked him. He was so cool. Vern was on the show too.

Such a delightful ,talented personality!
I had a crush on this dude in his earlier year. Then life got busy for me. This video just happen to pop up on KZread "Recommendation". So happy to see he's still relevant.
My mom loves him from "my lottery dream home" and hopes to win the lottery so she can meet him and look for houses together lol
Seems like a great guy👍🏻 so nice to people on lottery dream show👍🏻❤️seems to have a good ♥️
He’s always been one of my favorites ❤ wishing him eternal happiness & love
I love this man. So talented.
I just love watching David. My grandchildren would love his energy lol. He appears to be such a beautiful person. I know that I would had loved being a friend of his. Even though none of us are perfect and he has flaws like everyone else. I just wish I could meet him and person and have a conversation with him.
Love him and his Lottery show...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey David, I am glad you are back. I really miss you and your shows. You're so talented and creative. And thanks for sharing your videos ❤.
I have watched him from the very beginning, and really enjoyed his shows early on. I even watched my lottery dream home regularly until about the last three seasons as the tattoos increased, my interest in watching decreased.
Loved your video on David, I was wondering what happened to him. He is an incredible artist, told my daughter if we ever won the lotto, I want David to show us a home. Just so I can get him to paint me one of his fabulous artwork 😉
Dont care for tatoos
Thanks- that was a great video article! Have always loved the guy and his work. Go David!
My husband and I have loved watching everything he did on tv, especially Color Splash. Our favorite was watching him paint! It’s like watching Billy Joel’s as he plays the piano! Skills you can’t imagine! We watched him on the Lottery Dream house show just to see him but always were disappointed that he didn’t get to show his talents and creativity! Congratulations on your already beautiful home. I hope we get to see how you make it uniquely yours!
He chose to flame for whatever reason, and it is a tad “off-putting.”
The tatts throw his whole design sense and taste into question.
He use to be so cute and sexy and then all the tattoos ???
He’s had so many shows! We all love him but the shows just never have the wow factor. I think my fav tho was the one where he did a painting for each home he redesigned!❤❤❤
He's so talented -- I love watching all shows he's in. [Note to commentator: The phrase "kids' rooms" is pronounced "kids rooms" not "kidses rooms"]

I thought David was so handsome in his early days on TV. His good looks is what attracted me to his shows. His personality was adorable. Then he started getting tattoos which was no big deal at first. Now it’s covering his whole body. Such a shame because he really is a physically blessed person. It almost ages him. People do the strangest things for attention or to fill whatever void they have. He is still a nice guy.
David is truly a beautiful soul. I've had a crush on him since Design Star and it hasn't diminished over the years. It would be a dream to meet him.
I love him. He is always happy and outgoing. I love watching 'My Lottery Dream Home". ❤

Let him do what he wants. His life, his body. He seems like a very caring person. I like watching his show!
I remember the first time he was on HGTV competing on a show. No tattoos. He now has way too many tattoos. I liked watching him without the tattoos.
I liked him since he first started competing on Design Star. However, the way he looks now would not inspire me to hire him as a designer. He has become a caricature of himself with all that ink on his skin. He now looks messy and never put together. He used to be so handsome that one can only ask, what does he see now in the mirror?
Love David and enjoy watching him. He has great personality and extremely talented and truly deserves all his success.❤
I think David is so sweet an seems like he can get along with anybody!!keep being yourself tattooed an all ❤!
The tattoos ruined his handsome appearance
David is one of the most genuine and lovable people. His shows are the ONLY ones I watch on HGTV because of how much his personality shows through.
I Love his Energy and Style and most of all his confidence in who he is inspires me and I am sure other Gays and anybody even not Gay, but creative to be confident in their Own Individuality. Thank You David! Great Love to You.💓💓💓
