Yup. Doug did a Poker room for one family and Frank did the other room -- but danged if I can remember what it was. The conflict w/Doug's room was because Faber and the one homeowner wanted to NOT have a circle table because they had this big beautiful log to use that would work better as a rectangle w/irregular sides (following the lines of the wood). It was gorgeous!

Shoot -- if I remember what Frank did, I'll come back!

Hmmm---went to the Trading Spaces website and it said that Laurie and Edward were brightening up home of college kids in San Francisco on the Sat. show. I have NO idea which one I watched! LOL

Frank did a den. It was really nice. They used some of the same wood (it was from the homeowner's barn) to reface the tv cabinet.
The couple working with Doug was on their honeymoon! LOL

These were reruns from awhile back. Lots of barn board adored each room. That is not my taste but the homeowners loved it on both counts.

Teach, I can't remember that either and I usually remember Lauries rooms.

That's right! Frank did the living room -- and that one lady donated the $2000 leather couch for the newlyweds. It was creams w/red trim and the entertainment center was made up from the barn wood. I liked his room, actually. :-) The poker room had a textured, "Suede" like wall w/the barn sideing as crown molding and baseboard.

I think the Laurie/Edward one was the two really tiny rooms. If I remember, the one Edward did w/Faber had the really cool shelves (some lighted)for one entire wall. The guy who lived there didn't appreciate the pink ottoman. :-) Laurie's room -- ummmmm, nope, still have no idea!

I saw a Laurie ep later Saturday night that I had never seen before though. Can't remember the other designer but I liked Laurie's room.

I caught the last 20 minutes or so of the show this weekend. Did the neighbors actually kick Hildi off the job?

I gotta catch this one in a rerun. I don't really watch TS anymore...this show lost its charm many moons ago, but caught it while I was flipping through channels. These people didn't appreciate anything. I wonder what the homeowners reaction would have been had they left it the original Hildi design.

It's always been my contention when you sign up...you take the risk.

I missed what exactly happened while I was flipping channels too. I knew that when they tore down all those seed packets that night, Hildi was not going to be happy.

Doug came to Hildi at the beginning of the 2nd day and suggested they change. It was a surprise to the homeowners. Not sure if Doug knew what was going on in Hildi's house. They never really showed Hildi's reaction to the changes to her desgin. It was cute, Doug noticed immediately that she had changed the 'art' and he said it was better.
Man, I think that was a more awkard reveal than the great crying one!!!!


was flipping channels yesterday and came across a show on HGTV with Barry as the designer. This was a pretty cool show. Couples looked at houses and he showed them on a computer what they could do to upgrade/remodel them.

Does anyone know when Laurie is expecting her 2nd baby? She was clearly pregnant in the latest episode (Wildwood, NJ).

I didn't know she was pregnant until I saw her last night.

Barry's on his own show now on HGTV. Can't think of the name but he's the architecht designer showing how a house fixed up will look virtually. Kinda kool.

I like that they've gone back to the owners picking the one room that they want done.

I do too. And they know who the designer is for their rooms. Frank's room was ok. Not country lol. I liked the headboard and bed area but not the dresser tv area. I didn't like the 2-tone colors at all. Liked Gen's kitchen.

I liked the kitchen. I wasn't too keen on Frank's either. I did like the headboard.

Anyone catch the last episode. It was 2 kids rooms. Leslie from WYWO was one of the designers, Hildi was the other, and Andrew from WYWO was the carpenter. Hildi (of course) went outrageous and put newspaper on every wall. I liked Leslie's room, but it was not amazing, just nice.

I think that Leslie decorated the room exactly like the mother wanted, except for the pink.

I watched that show and thought it was wrong for Leslie to do a pink room when the homeowner had specifically asked for it not to be pink...although I thought the room was very cute.

I hate newspaper on the wall. Did she put anything over it to keep it from "bleeding" onto little hands? I would be ripping it off. But I did love the color of blue that she put on the ceiling.

I didn't see the end, how did the mom react? i think Leslie was kind of stuck..she had planned everything around pink and didn't find out till she got there that the homeowner didn't like pink. guess she couldn't return fabrics ect.
So is there no more walking from room to room with the decorator trying to decide which one to pick?

I think you are right -- the homeowners now pick the room (I'm sure with the help of a producer).

The Mom said she liked the room at the end and they hadn't really changed everything, so I guess they were all happy. As the mom of the little boy said, she had to remove herself from the picture and realize that the room was for her child, not for herself, so in that regard the room was fine.

It's back to the homeowners picking the room. I like that much better.

Anybody see the two rooms that Laurie and Hildi did this weekend? As usual Hildi went over the top with putting CDs up all over a wall, but in a way they were kind of interesting looking. I think it would have been really cool if she had done just one wall, but that, of course, wouldn't be Hildi's way. Whatever happened to the new, improved, restrained Hildi that we've seen the last few seasons?

Laurie's room (kitchen) was nice, with an amazingly complex paint job. Not my choice of colors but the homeowners seemed pleased.

Does it seem that this season we are getting more "actor wanna be's?" Is this what this has degenerated into? Of course, who would want to take the risk of Hildi coming in and doing something damaging to your walls?
