What is the name of that show, Mocha? Love the idea.

I did check and was stunned to find it on the Penn boarder! And as shocked that I didn't know this. I have perused maps all my life. My story is that I have been too busy doing lofty things and saving people to pay attention to lines. Well thinking about Namibia anyway.

Wow Frank did a beautiful room. I love that wall color. Blues and Browns go so well together.

Mocha, that was lavendar! Miss Aubergine, you are slipping.

I liked the rooms enough.

I have been to many psychics over the years and do believe we all have that ability and some are just more connected to it. The readings I received that blew me away were done by people who did not do spiritual speak nor have their homes decorated in any way that broadcasted their beliefs.

The show that followed was more interesting to me. I thought they both did a great job with those apartments.

It was a lavendar that leaned toward blue rather than red. They talked about it being lavendar, that was the biggest clue. TV's show color differently. Car54 and I used to go around the bush about colors on this show.

What I can tell you is that Mr Bat is over the top on the TV situation. We have a state of the art situation here and he stands by his color adjustment like a mother lion defends her cubs. Don't mess with him on anything TV. We have 3 and they are his pets. The dog is mine.

Lolol! Dang I missed the lavendar comment cuz I was on the puter. And frankly just shocked that Frank did such a nice room. I think it's the best one he's done.

Oh I also watched an old TS on Discovery. The one where Hildi put the wine labels in the pastors' kitchen. I so miss the host factor.

The part where I notice Paige's absence most is in the reveal. She pulled them out and forced them to express their reaction more fully. It can be rather dull now.

Her presence added a spark of honesty and much needed energy.

Frank stunned me, as well. I didn't hear them mention budget, only references to the fact they had more to spend. More money always helps Frank the most. It keeps him from falling in the folk art sink hole.

I would have liked to have seen the two weeks later segment for the psychics. You often see a change from the initial reaction.

I watched that one, too, Mocha. That one always makes me shake my head at Hildi - -she obviously has NO idea what conservative pastors like! LOL

Add me to the group who misses Paige, too. It was like the Scottish girl leaving Changing Rooms. :-( At least CR still had Lawrence (who is a good runner-up for host), but it's not been quite the same since.

Lawrence is as close as it gets to perfection. Though I adored Carole, he is all that is.

Mocha, come hither and sing with me.

I totally agree even though I miss Laurence and his painting leathers. He is definately the best there is bar none.

Now last nights show as truly an interesting concept to me. Uh but I didn't have my glasses on during the reveal but I was glad the blue paint was gone, thats bout all I could see. Oh and the wood floors were nice and I liked the stripes in the female h/o's room. Uh the guys brother was fine. I noticed that w/o my glasses.

Gen's room was not great, the other kind of blah. No, very blah. The zero money was silly. It was all about entertainment to breathe some life into this tired format. The designers knew nothing of this but the homeowners did and made those calls ahead of time.

I didn't like the rooms on the other shows, twins with identical living spaces. Kitchen/dining. $2000 got eaten up in the kitches so not much of a show in the rest of it and too much brown.

I thought Gen's room was cute for a sewing room. They really had to of called ahead for all that free stuff.

And Mocha, with our without glasses, that boy was fine.

I like Frank's room except for minor things like the wee lil desk in the closet. That is a big man, he can't fit in there lol. And the curtains. Other than that I liked the room. Loved the luan wall length headboard and wall color. Liked Edwards room except for the couch. It just looked too small. Loved the colors though and that red accent wall. And glad they covered that brick fireplace.

The pillows Edward made were fabulous and the fireplace and red wall, stunning. I understand why they moved their furniture back in; they needed places to sit.

At first glance I liked Franks bedroom except the closet office. When the couple spoke, 2 weeks later, I saw their point of view. Many of these bedrooom end up looking like they belong in a motel.

The bedspread Frank made looked great on TV. I wonder if the change was to add color or remove a poorly made effort.

The 2 week follow up is the best part of this show. Too bad they started this so late. We would see many of the homeowners singing a different tune after they had time rest and live with it. Also being away from the designer and carpenter help.

I agree, I love the 2week follow ups. Too little too late though.

I would have LOVED a two-week follow-up on the straw room, the sand floor room and the upside down room (hmmm -- all Hilde's designs). Bet THOSE people would have had a few choice words to say!
