No Carter's still there. And unfortunately Laura Day. I'm not too keen on Leslie's carpentry though. Maybe cause she didn't do much on wywo.

I think if I could pick my carpenter to work on my house it would be Faber. He really seems to know what he's talking about and what he's doing. I thought the rooms were nice last night. Nothing too exciting but nice.

Faber would be my carpenter of choice, too. Not only does he know wood (he was a furniture maker -- of beautiful furniture) he also looks fine in a kilt! LOL

I'm with you, Teach! Though I could stare at Carter for awhile too.

i heard a rumor last year that paige posed for some 'uninhibited' pics while at a party and someone passed them around, which upset the producers. big whoop, she supposedly flashed her boobies or panties or something. they should have given her a raise! i also thought that she was going to do some broadway plays and musicals. she is evidently pretty talented and her degree is in music or dance theater--something along those lines. hildi is a real turn-off! i agree with whoever said it became less about two teams who liked each other and wanted to do nice designs for 1k, to a contest between two designers. it became much more about the designers than the teams. i hope it is turning back around, but to tell you the truth, i haven't watched it in months. frank and vern were always my favorite designers and hildi and doug my least favorite. i liked paige as the hostess...

Potential show for Paige? with Nate Burkes? http://www.popculturejunkies.com/television/turning_the_paige.php I actually did see Paige on Dr. Phil last week. (First of all, I feel I must explain why I watched Dr. Phil. I was sick! I was delirious!!) I felt sorry for her. I kept wondering if she was screaming in her head "I used to host Trading Spaces! What's happened to me?!"

Paige was in Chicago on Broadway in June-August 2004. Around that time she participated in a charity event called "Broadway Bares". The yearly event raises money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aides. It is a tongue in cheek, suggestive and adult oriented entertainment event. There were some pictures of floating around of Paige having money stuffed down her dress and into her g-string. Appearing at this years event were Christina Appelgate (Sweet Charity), David Hyde Pierce and Tim Curry (Spamalot), Bruce Vilanch (Hairspray), Jai Rodriguez (Queer Guys), Shoshona Bean (Wicked). Over the past 15 years they have raised over 3 million dollars. I used to watch Trading Spaces all the time, but have not watched at all since they went to the hostless format. Not because I was a big fan of Paige Davis, but because the show just no longer interests me.

2 great rooms. Loved the color schemes in both. And I want to try that wood thing that Edward did on that wall. I would love that in my bedroom but I only have 1 wall that's flat without a doorway or window.

Luloo, most, in the industry, consider theater a huge step above hosting a cable decorating show.

I liked Edwards rooms but Frank missed the boat, again. The candle aparatus hanging above the dining table was just awful. He buys curtains so his windows lack style, no imagination in the living room and the desk opposite the couch was an eyesore. A wall unit to make the room feel full and decorated would have been better. Yuck. Laurie would have made that house a showplace.

Laurie is the only designer I have ever seen who could take a thousand dollars and make a room look fabulous. That is not enough money to work with and I am glad they have added the $2000 twist. Going back to get a reaction two weeks later is also a good idea. The real problem with the show though, is the designers (Laurie is the exception). They have become tedious with the silly stuff they do and pass off as designer rooms.

Aack they took the fabric off the walls. I loved that room, can't believe they changed it.

I thought Hildi's room was fabulous. I can't believe the room owner didn't like it! From her reaction at the antique store, when she seen it was Hildi doing her room, Hildi could have given her the moon and that lady wouldn't have liked it. She had predisposed thoughts and feelings towards Hildi and nothing was going to change that. That's what I got out of it.

I know I'm kinda behind, but I did a search on google why Paige left, awhile back and I came across an article that stated there were a couple of "risque" videos of her floating around. That may not be all of it, but it seems to be part of it.

It seems if something gets repeated often enough, especially on the net, it becomes accepted truth. Sometimes it is, but very often, it is not.

I didn't care for the two colors of brown that Hildi had together, the wood and the fabric or paint, but I thought her room was rather elegant. It certainly did not warrant the reaction it got, and I was absolutely shocked that the owner would rip off all that fabric. I would not have liked to live with the brown, but I would have done something to make it livable other than ripping the room apart.

This was a good room for Hildi but there was something off about it for me. I definately don't care for fabric walls and draped ceilings but it was more than that. The shade of brown was empty and it was not my taste. Christi. Oh god Christi. The kitchen was just Ok. The red window treatments clashed with the red walls and would have been better in a print or constrasting color. That ceiling called for a vintage kitchen and she could have easily put shiny, solid color wall tiles on the counter instead of the trendy brown floor tiles. The fabric on the table was ugly too. Hummingbird, I agree. Laurie is the only trained designer they have and it shows. She is amazing. I would welcome her into my home any day or Graham from Changing Rooms. I prefer the new format if only because we get to see how the HO's feel 2 weeks later.

Yeah I like that part too Ms Bat. But I was still crushed that the h/o's messed up that room. I would have either Edward or Laurie do my house or of course Laurence.

Laurence is their wild child, I am not sure I would like what he did but working with him would be delightful. I go hot and cold on Edward. I don't care for those cords he puts at the ceiling corner. He is hit or miss with me much of the time but far better than the others.
