I also loved Edward's room. I think the man liked it but his fiancee wasn't too happy about it. I don't know what the heck was going on with Hildy's room. That was just a joke. And the other thing I noticed is that the homeowners didn't even seem to know who the decorators were when they met. If you were a faithful viewer of the show, you'd know right away. I'm wondering if they are recruiting people now to do their homes.

That's it there's your list Jb. The others you had have been gone so long that it doesn't even matter in the scheme of things.

I liked Edward's room, but really didn't dig the eggplant. Way too dark for me. Hildi doesn't even think of what's practical or liveable anymore. She has a reputation of being over the top and coming up with these outragous rooms. She has stopped trying to please the homeowners and is only worried about toping herself and shocking us. I mean, do you honestly think that she would do any of the things that she has done to her own rooms? Let's think of all the crazy rooms that she has done. The ones that I remember are: The living room where she glued hay onto the walls (the family had a 3 year old too if I remember correctly) The bedroom where she glued feathers onto the wall. The dining room where she did a portrait of her own freaking face on one side of the wall. And this room.

What about the bathroom that she pasted all kinds of fake flowers on? Actually, Hildi's apartment in France is very modern, very white and IMHO, very boring. Not one thing she's done for others shows up in her own decorating!

What about when she poured sand all over the floor for some type of beach theme? When she painted couches. I know she 's done this several times, but the time I am thinking of is when she painted striped couches a bright pink and left them in the rain to dry... The time she "almost" dyed the carpet neon orange. The time she glued all those wine labels to the walls of the kitchen of the non-drinking ministers. The time she did a whole entire room in black (and Doug did his in white.) They even spray painted real plants. Though I guess you can only partially blame her for that one... Well that's all I can come up with in 5 minutes...

Yeah that cardboard room did it for me. Oh wait and those paint cans she put on the ceiling. Yeah she's in bizarro world but when she wants to do a decent room she does.

Didn't she hang up a drawing of her foot in the LR of a woman that had a repulsion of other people's feet?

That's right, Nick, it was Doug! Well, they both come up with some crazy ideas!

That's true. Who can forget Doug's "Prison Cell" room. I boycotted TS for awhile, because the show had completely lost it's charm. It was no longer about 2 neighbors, decorating 2 rooms for a thousand bucks. It started becoming a "Who can be more outrageous" with their rooms and stopped giving what the people wanted. The last couple of weeks I checked it out again and it seems that they are trying to get back to the original premise...well, besides Hildi. But I do miss Vern, Paige, and Ty.

I cringe whenever I see that Hildi is on a show. I just can't watch her anymore. The last show I saw was her painting a very special chair of the owner - she spray paints it and put little flowers on it, even though the girl said just don't touch that chair. Her reply when she was asked about it was just too callous and unfeeling. I won't watch the show if she is on it. I think I liked the show where one room was done all black and the other room was all white. That sure was a shock.

Vern left to do, among other things, his own show on NBC which never came about. There was a special, but it did not get picked up as a series. Ty left to do Extreme Makeover and other things. Paige left for reasons that have not been discussed publicly. TLC issued a "the series is going in a new direction" statement at the time. The others did not have their contracts renewed at the end of their term.

Paige's website seems a little (lot) outdated. Especially considering the main picture totally references Trading Spaces (with her switching the keys like that.)

Nice rooms. Even Hildi's room was normal.

Shadoe. I bet that chair was free game and a set up for drama. Both Hildi and production push her image. If a homeowner really doesn't want something touched they leave it alone. The homeowners have to state what cannot be touched in the application process and if they have too many things, they are not considered. They tell you this upfront. They also sign a contract and it lists the untouchables along with all the liability and damage stuff. Nice rooms last night. The couple did not seem all that pleased with Laurie's room and that surprised me. Designers: Christy, Hildi, Laurie, Frank, Doug, Laura. Am I misssing anyone? Carpenters: Amy Wyn, Leslie, Faber, Andrew (haven't seen him yet). Is Carter gone?

Fruitbat, yes I suppose but I still am leary when I see that Hildi is one of the designers. I prefer the designer to at least pretend that they care what the owner thinks of the changes. I keep mixing up trading spaces and while you were out when it comes to carpenters and designers. I watch them all.
