Oh that would be fun! We haven't been in years. I'd love to go back. My aunt is getting very elderly and I'd love to see her.

Roxip you should have used one coat of Kilz over the spots. I was unable to remove all the flowery wallpaper in DH's ofc, so used Kilz (water based version) & then faux sponged to hide the texture of the pieces.

LOL...I DID USE KILZ...6 Times! That black just kept bleeding through.

I lived in that house 7 years and I kept going into that bedroom every day -- expecting to see those black spots reappearing! I dreamed about it for years!

Well, Twiggy - both your aunt and I would be thrilled to see you! I understand on a trip like this that family come first, and I will be happy to work around those committments!

OK Roxip, I think you have scared me sufficiently. I will definitely avoid the polka dots if I can. Good thing I am a creative talker, though this may take my best!!!! Like I said, I like the brown....I would prefer some shade of blue or aqua with it, though. She did pick out a nice shade of pink, but it is just a bit too bold for me!

What if you cut out some pink and brown circles made out of wallpaper? Then you could just peel them off when you're sick of them (just make sure you size the walls first so they'll come off easily!)

Amen to that! After all the trouble it took to get the wallpaper off my walls, I will never stick anything to a wall ever again. But if I absolutely had to, I'd make sure it was something that could be easily peeled off.

Maybe you could keep those colors and just leave it as a brown accent wall, decorating with pink and brown accessories to pull it together.

I really do think the problem with this is the black...the pink circles probably wouldn't be a problem on the brown...it was just the brown circles on the pink that I would be fearful of.

I'm still friends with the person I bought my house from (I have to be - I live in a small town and this woman is in my Sunday School class...and I'm sharing a room with her at a Beth Moore conference in August!), but I would never buy another house from her...LOL!

According to the commercial I just saw and my Comcast schedule, this Sunday's show will be a double elimination.

Darn it, I thought they had decided against double eliminations this year. Oh well, sounds like it might be Tracee's time to go.

No problem, Vnick. Guess you can't do anything like be on a reality show and not expect your past to be investigated.

I'm not sure I understand why his being gay is an issue. In the article it says "...nor does his bio mention that he’s gay." Why should his bio mention his sexual orientation? Do the bios for the heteros mention theirs? Does sexual orientation have anything to do with being a design star? I think Mikey is known as the "cop" and I think that's much more appropriate, as that is what his job is. Just sayin'...

We're more talking about the adult entertainment portion of the article, Costacat.

Along the same line I always find it interesting how (in America and Canada anyway) people are so closely associated with their occupation. Who cares? It's practically the first question you are asked.

His being gay isn't the issue. It's about him being in the adult entertainment business.

I find someone's occupation to be one of the most interesting things about them. It answers "what do you choose to spend a large portion of your life doing?" Then what I want to know next is "Why?" I think some people mistakenly think that those of us who ask those kind of questions are doing it to judge people, when in reality a lot of us really want to know who they are. I have had friends who are stay-at-home moms who were put off at parties when people asked them that because they said they were pegging them as "just a stay-at-home mom." My perspective is that stay-at-home moms are amazing and very possibly that person is interested in what that experience is like. Same thing with someone who works at McDonalds....that was my first job and funny things always used to happen there. You see such a picture of human nature every day. I love hearing the stories. That's one of the great things about jobs to me....the backstories of what we do, how we got there and why we stay is always interesting.

Good idea about the polka dots. You know, I think I may have seen something on HGTV one time that was a peel and stick material. I guess I need to look for that if I do it. But probably I will just forego the polka dots, keep the walls in the colors and accessorize. That seems to meet everyone's requirements.

I'm still pulling for Matt to win this. I like the others, though (even Tracee, who drives me crazy), and don't like seeing them eliminated. Do we know what the challenge is for this week?

Don't watch this show, but the first question asked of strangers in a social situation is indeed cultural. They did a study of this a while back; the French ask "What do you do in your free time?" and the Spanish ask "Who is your family?" Not sure if that's the exact wording, but along those lines. North Americans are much more job-oriented and it comes up first.

That being said, I agree with Yesitsme that a job is where you spend a good chunk of your life, and I don't think asking about it is meant in a judgy way (well, it could be, depends on the person asking), just more of a conversation starter.

Maybe "What do you do?" is a polite way of asking "How much do you make?"
