I enjoyed Inside Out. Some thoughts..

Ty wasn't featured. Is he still on the show?

Hildi's apartment disappointed me. Where are the feather walls?

Doug's family was a surprise. I would never have pictured him as a farm boy. I thought the table leg episode a typical Doug moment!!

I was surprised to see Amy Wynn had gotten married. That was kept quiet. What a cute couple they make!

When is the episode showing the Frank and Doug rooms? I might have missed them.

Twiggs,Ty has quit the show to concentrate on his ABC show. Hope they don't do their usual thing,and cancel it next week!
I don't think the NY episode has aired yet.
I thought it was good too,loved Carter's bit.
Frank and his wife are so cute.

I loved the show!!!
Didn't realize that Ty had officially quit.
Doug really is quite charming. Loved when he and Paige were on the tractor and she said "so had you turn out to be such a jerk"! LOL
They just didn't show much of Hilde's house at all, but I know she has said it's all white.
They didn't give Thom (Queer Eye) credit for redoing Paige and Patrick's house! LOL (he did that on Oprah).
I had heard that Amy Wynn had gotten married..he is a cutie.
Carter..what a babe!
Loved Edward's room!

That was cool, but didn't you think it was hysterical that her interviews were with her stylist and hairdresser? LOL And she says that she tried to match her clothes to the design..thought that was Laurie's gig!

I'm wondering if Vern has quit, too. I haven't seen any episodes with him on them in quite awhile. I bet Barry and Laura are a couple, too. They seemed pretty couple-y on the special. I hope they replay it, becaue I only saw part of the middle.

Vern left in April.

Ty is still officially a cast member, but is shooting no more episodes. The "new" episodes he has already shot will be shown at various times through the summer.

To start his own show on NBC, which I believe is launching in the fall. Broadcast network vs. cable = more dinero and higher profile.

Laurie matches her hair to her designs.

Still don't like Laura or Barry and hope they get fired.

Thom from Queer Eye didn't redo Paige and Patrick's house...it was Nate (can't recall his last name right now but he is a major doll - something like Backus but that's not it) who redid her apartment. He is such a cutie.

Nate Berkus, that's the guy's name. He is so adorable. Probably gay but still totally adorable.

And sorry Texannie. I wasn't trying to be snotty, just informational. I should be ashamed that I watch so much television that I actually know this stuff. But can I remember to pay my water bill?

I just saw a re-run today where Doug did the "Prison of Love" room, and it really does seem like some of the designers do rooms people won't like on purpose. I have said before that if you go on this show you shouldn't be surprised if they do something crazy and you don't like it, but jeez. I realize that Doug doesn't care if the homeowners like the rooms or not, and Hildi is that way, too, but the things they do are beginning to get a bit ridiculous. If they would want that in their house fine, or if they have clients for their personal businesses who want to pay them outrageous amounts of money for a room like that, but they defintely take things too far sometimes. If you try to give them something great and they don't like it, well...oops, but I think on some shows Doug acts as if he's trying to do something they'll hate.

I wacthed a an ep of Family last night and they have a new designer. I can't remember her name, but she had long dark hair and did the lime green kitchen with the bug cutouts everywhere. I thought she was great, probably the best new designer since Christi. I hope she pops up on the regular show, too, and often.

aw, with all the reality tv shows, guess no one is talking about trading spaces? Last night the gang helped the Habitat for Humanity project, and picked 2 homeowners that built with sweat equity what appeared to be town houses. They were redoing their living room area. And Home Depot is celebrating their 25th ann. so TS $25,000!!!

I always find it interesting how the homeowners shirts match the color of paint they are going to be putting in the room!!

The one homeowner (single mom 3 kids) really really wanted hardwood floors. So while her sister and she were working on their neighbors room they are getting "real hardwood floors" not the other stuff.. meanwhile it took a few moments before they revealed that that home would also get woodlooking floors, but it will be in the whole downstairs, not just the living room area - and surprise Home Depot will be doing the installing... oh and Home Depot will install the real wood floors, uh oh Genavieve didnt special order enough to finish the floors (they never showed how that got resolved, something tells me it didnt, and they conveniently didnt show that part!!)

Edward did a nice job in the room and then he also furnished the patio with some nice stuff, and come upstairs, he left stuff for all the kids rooms and He did do her bedroom, simple and beautiful! It brought tears to the homeowners (and mine!) eyes.

Reveal... the other homeowners lived in a trailer with 5 kids, never thought it was small - well Gen. bought with the extra money 2 vintage suitcases (why?) with a card with such sweet sentiments, and 2 tickets to visit their roots in Ireland, and Paige and Gen talked about how much gen spent "exactly $12,500" because any that wasnt spent on the tickets and the room goes to the homeowners for spending money" (that sounds like a twist to me, but it was a beautiful moment!!)

'oak branches' bothered me a lot.
