They are so adorable. I always thought that Frank was gay and then he started mentioning his wife. They really are a cute couple.

I watched a Frank episode today (coffe house flavor bedroom...no coffee). Has anyone else noticed that Frank is finally showing some style with his rooms. I've noticed he's done so much better with coordinating colors and avoiding some of the hokey stuff. I think he must like doing a good job and pays attention to what people on the boards say. I'm thinking he probably has done more research and learning on his own time over the last year or two. I've always loved Frank, but I haven't always loved his rooms.

I didn't care for either room. They were nice but just not my style. I'm not into brown walls. Frank's room was ok but nothing special. I don't care for his store bought curtains and linens. I always look for something made especially for the particular room. The shelving unit was ok but I didn't like the lil desk part. It was too small and awkward. Christi's kitchen was ok but I don't like country and I couldn't believe they replaced that nice pantry door for the screen door. The backsplash was nice but I wouldn't want to use slate.

I just saw this one again and I can't help but say that Paige's t-shirt was sooooo tight! I kept wondering how much spandex was in that thing. I liked the slate backsplash, but not crazy about the brown.

Tampa: Horatio Street Four lively, attractive single young women, two designers, one carpenter, 1,000 bucks and two days ... oh, and did we mention two condos right across from each other with no space, no parking and no secrecy? Oh yeah, we've got our hands full on this one. Frank Bielec is up to his impish best in this episode and with this living room/dining room combination, he's really got two rooms to do, not one. Meanwhile Laurie Smith is dealing with a similar large open living area and she's going for a Tuscan feel complete with arches everywhere and some fancy French sounding Tremeaux mirror project. Carpenter Faber Dewar is pressed into overtime trying to build everything Frank and Laurie want. Paige Davis, "executive director in charge of making sure homeowner's don't see what's happening in their room until the reveal on Day 2" has got her hands full on this space-challenged condo episode. Do the "girls" live up to their pact with each other not to cry? You'll have to watch for yourself. Original Airdate: March 6, 2004 Host: Paige Davis Designers: Frank Bielec Laurie Hickson-Smith Carpenter: Introducing carpenter Faber Dewar!

Loved seeing Vern again. Hated seeing Hildi's record room, ugh. Hildi just has no freakin clue sometimes. I actually liked Laurie's room. Loved the faux wall but was a lil concerned about putting vinyl flooring on the wall but it looked great. I didn't like the curtains or the painted armoir but overall a nice room. Frank's room was ok but too much brown for me. He needed an accent color. But he didn't screw up the room, lol. But I liked that sage green color the h/o's had originally and was hoping he would keep it.

Why are they so obsessed with painting furniture? Isn't it eventually going to peel? The last color I would want my furniture painted is stark white! Or brown.

I rarely catch this show anymore. I still like it but it is less compelling. Time to shake it up. Following CR it is time to eliminate the swapping key scene and allow Paige to review both rooms and begin the show with empty spaces. The FF moving furniture out is as old as the intro. Show that at the end only. Since this show is an hour that would leave some time to show outtakes. That is a real key to viewers hearts and usually very entertaining. I am dissapointed that the talent is lacking. Laurie is the only trained designer left. Fault her for what you choose but she knows what she is doing and that shows whether you like her taste or not. Edward is good and taking Verns place on top with Laurie. I know there are new designers that I have not come to know yet. Christy and Kia are on my last nerve. It goes beyond their taste, which I hate. Their personalities grate so badly I don't care to watch. Frank pales by comparison and those who know me see how strongly I feel. Mocha can fill you in.

Yep Ms Bat definately feels strong about that if she says Frank pales by comparison. What about Ana from CR?

Los Angeles: North Cherokee Avenue In West Hollywood, California, Dough Wilson and Hildi Santo Thomas are a dynamic duo determined to create rooms with different elements but similar energies. Carpenter Carter Oosterhouse keeps the balance outside.

Oh good. I am home alone and will settle in. I rarely catch this show. It is popular enough to have it on a week night I dont understand airing it on a weekend. The white room could look very nice and easily dressed with color later. The black room does not bode well.

I have not watched this show in almost a year. When things get popular I lose interest for some reason. When I was in HS a guy I knew had a room painted all black with black carpeting, white furniture. My god, just walking into the room would give you a hard on and I don't even have the equipment. Aren't you glad I shared that?

Twiggy, HI! and I know you love that miserable excuse for "taste". Abby, thank you for that. It illustrates we are all twisted in some way and should love each other unconditionally...................or run screaming.

Awwwwwwww, very moving ending. Sincere disappointment. I am surprized the men liked the black room but that is VERY good that they did. I did not like either. Nothing much lost except expectations of a new cool room.

What sweet men. They will get over it. The expectaion must be very high even though you understand it can bomb.
