I don't know if I like the way the show is set up now. Not knowing which room they are going to do. I'm sure in reality, they know ahead of time which rooms to look into but I just don't like it and at the end where they show where the money went.

Jon won...surprise, surprise.

When you're on a sinking ship...you'll grab onto anything and hope it floats.

I'm not to thrilled about the new format...

No I am from the US and they show those here. I have not seen the others you mention though. If Mocha has not found them I doubt they are here.

Mocha...I still have not seen Laurance on Changing Rooms. Some fan eh? Tell me what night the new ones air and I will Tivo them. The daytime shows are VERY old and repeat in an odd way. I finally caught a room by Anna that is a favorite and it is rarely shown. The one where she takes a very dark red and green room and converts it to light and airy with ice cream colors. Cream, pale green..........

Fruitbat, they have ended Changing Rooms. I'm sure you can still catch Laurence on repeats but there won't be anymore new shows.

My favorite is Design on a Dime. Although I like Divine Design it is not in my price range to try and duplicate what Candace does. I like to see techniques displayed that I (in my dreams of course) might conceivably be able to afford.

Design on a Dime always pulls together a great look for $1,000. I like both teams that are in current rotation. Their teams are creative and personable.

Grooch, her baby ~ Piper ~ is a cutie little girl. Her hubby/the father isn't Chico. lol! (His name is Uri I believe ~ he has been on other episodes with her: one where they come in and cook a meal for you while another person decorates the space. And he was on some other one that escapes me at the moment.)

Thanks for the info, Autumn!

We don't really believe it. It is just a running joke in our family and we love Chico and get mad when she has him rewiring everything in the house. lol!

They do have a great working chemistry though. ;)

Ms Bat the new season of Changing Rooms has started and it's on Tuesdays at 9pm. It has ended in the UK but these shows are new to us. So we still get to see Laurence and he is still better than ever. Have you seen his other show who's name escapes me for the moment?

-------------------------------

Episode 14: Bournemouth

Room 1:
Gareth and Haley's lack of ideas has left their living room with a lack of decor. Can Graham Wynne create an identity for this room?

Room 2:
Jason and Clare consider themselves to be quite stylish. But they're at a standstill in their living room, a room waiting for a designer. Who will that be? Laura McCree.

The after pics will be up tomorrow.

It was on early this year and he had this great episode about color. Not sure if it's still on though.

I've always liked him ~ never understood it when couples would groan cuz they had him doing their room. (now that one designer with the wiggy hair - definitely: groan!)

They usually play the BBC programs up here so I imagine they'll have this one soon, if they haven't played it already. Thanks for the heads up - now I know to look for it.

For those of you who like Divine Design, she has a new website including video. Just click at the link below and then click on Candice's face :-)

Also, there is a thread for this show HERE if anyone wants to discuss the shows:-):-)

Thanks Mocha. I will Tivo that. I caught Laurence last night. That photo was Laura's room. Grahams was much better. I would love to have Graham do a room for me. I like his work.

Grooch! Why on earth would you and your mother get mad at Candice for having Chico wire her rooms. He is an electrican!!
