Whoops -- that should have been Frank's room was NOT terribly special! Big difference in that sentence! Sorry!

Mocha, check in when you do. Smart money is on you agreeing with me. Franks room had that unfortunate carpeting that looks like a sponge painting effect with a carved design on top of that. The color-mint green. If that was not bad enough he repeated that effect on the closet doors. The colors he chose to go with that were red, dark green and tan. It was a mess. The kitchen Doug did was an improvement but the walls were way too dark and I like brown walls. It lacked color and the wow factor $2000 usually brings. It needed blue accessories or blue something to balance the dark brown. It was stark. Nice tile back splash though.

I thought it was a kinda blah episode. I agree with Fruitbat that Frank's color combos were disconcerting. I am not a big fan of brown anything, so I thought Doug's kitchen was kinda icky. The couple had a painting made by an elephant, and Doug kept it in the room. He had the two homeowner participants make their own similar paintings using paintbrushes held in their toes. The elephant's painting was actually much better than the ones the humans did, and it was the only bright spot in the room. As an aside, when we went to Thailand last year, we visited an elephant camp. The elephants put on a show, and several of them made paintings. There were LOTS of elephant paintings for sale in the gift shop, and many of them were actually very pleasing. We did not buy one.

I have seen animal art that was pretty nifty. This particular one, on the show, had too much of the bare canvas showing to be great but I agree, it was better that the human efforts. Doug did a brown room once that is my all time favorite. It was a deep rich golden brown in a master bedroom for a gay couple. The curtains were a wide red and cream stripe in a formal fabric. another window had a roman shade with blue and cream check (checkerboard style) from the same fabric line so it had a formal feel as well. The room had a rooster and a huge fleur d'elise in it. Anyone remember?

Loved Frank's kitchen. Hildi's room was nice but that headboard didn't fit the room to me. Did like the linens.

I have always loved Frank's designs. He is so talented. People make fun of him and the chickens, but he is just the best. Now, Laurie would never work on a home of mine. I absolutely HATE the "red-head" or 70's colors and designs that she always does. I lived the 70's and they should never be repeated!!! UGLY!!!JMHO

What'd you think? Both places seemed rather blah to me -- not ugly, but nothing spectacular. I DID like that painting Doug had above the fireplace-- it's pretty much the palette I used throughout my house (but nary a white wall anywhere in my home! LOL). An artist friend called it "autumn tones."

I liked Doug's room and loved the wall unit in Gen's room but not the fabrics she used.

Is Carter off the show now? I don't remember seeing him in quite a while.

Good question and I was wondering the same thing. If I get a chance I'll check at TLC's site.

He was doing the show "Three Wishes" so maybe he left like Ty.

Here's what I found on the TS board posted on 01/26/06... TS is currently filming in Biloxi and Long Beach, Mississippi. Here's an article with details. Designers are Edward and Laurie, who asked to do homes affected by Hurricane Katrina, and carpenters are Faber and Carter....for all of you who wondered if Carter was still on the show. link He's doing both TS and 3 wishes.

So much devastation. These 2 couples were lucky they were able to purchase new homes. Great rooms, both of them.

Beautiful rooms and so encouraging to hear there are still people NOT forgetting about those devastated in the storm. Our church is part of the MOSES group, and teens and many others are spending their spring break in Mississippi this year to continue the relief efforts. Sooooo much to do, not nearly enough hands. BTW -- loved Faber's work (always do) and so appreciated how he put those personal touches from their rescued items in the room. Faber is far and away my favorite person on the entire show.

I hadn't really planned on watching this tonight until I saw they are in Orlando, FL. I can't pass up the chance to see glimpses of my hometown.
