Later episodes featured designer Casey Noble (a season five Design Star contestant) using innovative solutions to the toughest makeover scenarios, and with a bigger budget of $2,500.[2] There were a few variations, including episodes highlighting a $3,000 wedding,[3] Christmas,[4] a special "Etsy" episode and more.
