Antonio Ballatore is a Los Angeles based prop stylist and set designer. After winning the fourth season of HGTV's Design Star, Antonio has become best known for his show The Antonio Treatment.  Since its premiere in January 2010, Antonio has wowed viewers with the same unexpected design perspective that the HGTV Design Star judges loved.
 
Antonio, a New York native, believed he would be a rock star by age 40. While pursuing his dreams of music stardom, he spent time between gigs learning how to build houses. This experience led him to design restaurants and clubs in Manhattan and, later, design sets for world-famous photographers, including Annie Leibovitz and David LaChapelle.
 
Antonio resides in Los Angeles with his English bulldog, Chewie.
