That metal gate was the HO's to keep their child from falling onto the hot stove. If it were wood it would be a fire hazzard. When the fire is roaring it probably heats the metal to some degree. It was definately ugly.

I would figure they'd remove the gate completely when the stove was on, which is why I suggested a wooden gate to match the other wood. That metal thing was so out of place, then again everything in that room was out of place.

Interesting that one woman wanted Frank to do her place. The other woman did not say Edward and they never showed who her first choice was. My guess is that they both wanted Frank. Now what are the odds of that? Have you noticed that Christy is on more often and Laurie is on the least? Laurie may be tiring of the grind. I think she has a good business going in Jackson. We desperately need new decorating shows. I am tired of them all.

Actually I hadn't but you're right we don't see Laurie much. Too much Laura though. I've been watching the shows on Discovery Home Channel and Kitchen Trends on Hgtv. But I did like the last Property Ladder but thought she put too much money into her flipping. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances was just too much imo. Oh and Generation Renovation is good too.

Note to self: Don't invite Fruitbat over to see your living room... (Sage green walls -- three light ones and one dark one, dark green couch, tan floral chair, green leaf pattern rug with tan and dark red accents, and a dark red leather chair)

One decorating show that I grew tired of long ago is While You Were Out! That Mexican guy is just an awful decorator and the others are not much better. I suspect that most of the people who are bing surprised are in on it. The spouse probably coaches them on what to guess before they leave home. Most of the decorating shows are old hat now and I agree we need some fresh formats.

I will put Generation Renovation on my Tivo. That is one I had not heard of. Thanks Mocha. Prisoner and Julie, this is one of the risks in discussing decorating shows. You are bound to dislike a room that another finds delightful. Laurie and Edward are the only ones who are capeable producing a good room. I have not seen the new guy (John?) in a very long time. He may be good too, I can't remember. Christy and Kia get on my nerves.

Laurie is fantastic but Edward only comes through some of the time. He can get a bit tacky, like the cherub headboards for instance.

Yes, he does digress on occasion. I missed the cherubs but I will take your word on that one.

I actually saw a Doug room that I loved today in a re-run with Paige in it. It had yellow square patterned walls done with tissue paper. It was so gorgeous. He actually does really great rooms when he's not trying to make them hate it.

Ok I figured it out. It's the placement of the bed in Laurie's room that's throwing me of. I like the colorscheme but she needs to move that bed up against a wall.

I just saw the Bed and Breakfast rooms episode. I did not care for Laura's placement of the bed/desk in the middle. Edward has done that on occasion and I just don't care for that look. The room looks small and crowded. I am not that crazy about Faber. Not sure why, but there is something there that just does attract me. I am talking about his personality not looks.

I think Faber can come off as a little professorial which could be off puting. He's a little older than the rest plus he's really a furniture maker by trade so he really vests himself in each piece that he does.

I am not crazy about Christy either. Actually I think she is a menace. That is not the reason, Texannie. I don't even know him well enough to have picked up on that. I can't put my finger on why. <smelling salts for Mocha>

Tomorrow's Trading Spaces is one of the two they filmed in Montreal earlier this Spring. The first Canadian episode.
