Now I have seen everything. A circus room that's supposed to be tropical with sand on the whole floor. I would've gone for Hildi's throat. The floor was the best part of that room. And that sand is going to be tracked all thru the house. She should not be allowed to put anything in someone's house that she wouldn't put in her own house.

Kinda like they all did when TS first started. Like before Doug and Hildi lost thier minds and then they hired those other idiots. Thanks God Rick only lasted a couple of shows.

Trading Spaces has lost it's charm.

One of the best shows I've seen in a while. Great homeowners and the rooms turned out great.

Hands-on approach
Faber Dewar of Trading Spaces knows carpentry
By KATE O'HARE
Zap2it.com

Faber Dewar of TLC's Trading Spaces and Trading Spaces: Family is one of the newest additions to the growing roster of TV carpenters. A British import (of Scottish descent) to Los Angeles by way of Hawaii (where he pursued marine biology), Dewar traveled just as circuitous a road to the small screen.

ADVERTISEMENT

After landing in L.A. in 1995 ? having spent many years renovating houses and restoring antique furniture ? Dewar went into partnership with fellow carpenter Stephen Ritson in a Venice Beach, Calif., shop called Alderley Edge (named after a historic site in Ritson's native northwest England). It specializes in custom frames and mirrors, along with Arts & Crafts and Japanese-inspired furniture.

As a sideline, Dewar has founded Vanish Products and Packaging, which markets biodegradable packaging materials made out of cornstarch.

Settling down for lunch, Dewar defends his woodworking credentials, since his résumé also includes modeling and acting roles on NBC's Passions and Bravo's Significant Others.

"I do have a show-business background," he says. "I'm letting a little cat out of the bag. However, I've had my own furniture business for nine years, since I moved here. I've made furniture for all the who's who in Hollywood.

"I don't want, all of a sudden, for people to think, 'He just wanted to be on TV,' because I really did come from a furniture background. I would have words with anyone who tried to take that from me."

Trading Spaces has taken Dewar from one side of America to the other, allowing him to see more of the country than many natives.

"I've been to places that I never could have taken the opportunity or inspiration to go," Dewar says. "I'm very proud. I was recently in Bismarck, N.D. We got to see buffalo. We got to go horse-riding in the Badlands. It was fantastic."

Dewar also has taken an outsider's view of America's heartland. "A lot of the smaller towns you go to unfortunately have that whole strip-mall, suburbia, tract-housing thing. There's a lot of sameness. But having said that, you're creating wonderful, middle-class housing at a very affordable price for families that are just starting out.

"If only that were the case in England, where real estate's so expensive."

The show has even taken Dewar, raised south of London in the town of Chislehurst, back to his ancestral homeland. In a Jan. 22 special episode called "Trading Spaces: Trading Castles," Dewar, fellow carpenter Amy Wynn Pastor and designers Hildi Santo-Tomas and Frank Bielec redecorate rooms in castles about 30 miles outside of Glasgow, Scotland.

As a true Scotsman, Dewar did all his woodworking in a traditional kilt.

Hildi did a beautiful room, I love that bed. I loved the wall color in Franks room but wasn't too sure about the red linens.

I LOVED Faber in a kilt!! Frank was cute, too -- but the "real" two Scotsmen in kilts (Faber and the castle owner) were GREAT eye candy!! At least Hilde didn't stick straw or flowers to the wall.

Just saw this: on the tlc website..(message from paige davis)

just wanted to take a minute to say goodbye. As you may have heard, TLC is taking Trading Spaces in a new creative direction. They are moving into a host-less format and therefore I will no longer be in the cast of the show. My last episode will premiere in March and in the meantime I'll be looking toward my next adventure and what will hopefully be a bright future — and a lot more time with Patrick and Sophie. :-)

I cannot begin to explain what an incredible journey this show has been for me. I love Trading Spaces so much and I am very proud of what the cast and crew has brought to you. I have loved working with the amazingly talented cast. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting all our homeowners. And it's been a thrill meeting awesome and dedicated fans like you all over the country. I will miss my friends very much, but I know they all wish me well and send me off with their love and support; and I am sure that Trading Spaces will still be a fabulous and fun show for all of you to watch. I will certainly be watching and cheering them on.

With much gratitude,
Paige

Paige Davis fired as Trading Spaces host.
Paige Davis has been fired as the host of TLC's Trading Spaces. A TLC rep tells the New York Post's Page Six that "TLC is taking 'Trading Spaces' in a new creative direction, transitioning to a 'host-less' format this spring ... Paige helped make 'Trading Spaces' a great success for the network, and we wish her the best of luck." While the Post idiotically suggests that "her recent weight gain or her terrible '50s hairdo" might be to blame, a rumor reality blurred discovered was posted online suggests that the previously discredited sex tape rumor was the real culprit. If it's correct, there actually are three sex tapes -- even though the original source of the tape information recanted "just before the TV home improvement show host's attorneys took him to court," The Chicago Sun-Times reported. Previously, Paige survived the TV Guide cover scandal and the fundraiser stripping scandal, but this was apparently too much, according to the information, which apparently comes from a Banyan Productions insider's friend. Here's the rumor as related by a message board poster, who precedes it with a succession of unnecessary exclamation points:

I have a friend who works at Banyan Productions in Philly and they all got an e-mail from Paige Davis saying goodbye because she got fired due to the sex tape scandal. This won't be public for a couple of days. You heard it here first. I swear someone is going to call bullsh*t on me but this next part is true: someone on the crew of a recent shoot they did in Key West heard Paige talking to her publicist right before the sex tape thing broke in late December and she said something along the lines of "I've made 3 tapes. 1 with my current husband, 1 with my ex-husband and 1 one with someone in a hotel room whom I can't remember his name." My friend said she's been a wreck since this happened.

Rumors are humorous.
