TLC?s popular home-design show has lost its edge </a>
I love this show but I have found myself tuning out occasionally. I am sad to say that I agree with most of what the author had to say.

Man - all that hoopla about Trading Spaces "They Hated It" was for nothing!! The show was crap. I still laugh at crying Pam - the poor woman. That annoying chick from Las Vegas, all I can say is Oy! Get a life!

Dougalicious!
Did anyone else catch the commercial on TLC featuring Doug tonight? Holy crap! He looked delicious! I love a man in a suit and fedora. I gotta find that picture of him. The commercial is for a Trading Spaces show that will be aired Sunday night called "<a href="http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/tradingspaces/theyhatedit.html">They Hated It</a>!". Mwahahahaha.

Last night's episode
was funny! Penn and Teller? Robin Leach? Orange floor tiles?? YIKES! The live reveal wasn't as good as I had hoped but it was still worth watching!
I will give Hildi credit - it was one of her better rooms! And Doug - well - he just looked so yummy! :lick:
Ok - back to wiping noses and passing medications around. Wheeeee!

HOLY CRAP!
I cannot believe that Hildi nailed a gazillion FAKE flowers to an entire bathroom wall!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Hell - I can't believe that TS is even DOING a bathroom, which, by the way, is bigger than my living room. Sheesh. I can just bet that this will push Crying Pam into second place. I would flat out cry if that happened to my room.

Heh heh!
<a href="http://www.sovereignmagic.com/">Shannon</a> just left me a comment about the Trading Spaces auctions will be shipped.
<a href="http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/tlc_tradingspaces/?ssPageName=CharitySpot6">"TLC's Trading Spaces will pay shipping and insurance costs. <b>All items will be shipped FedEx</b>, therefore the winning bidders must provide a physical address (no PO Boxes!), phone number and be aware that a signature will be required for delivery."</a>
Hmmm - Doug in a box? Hehehehehhe! That has SO much potential! :lick:
Oh - and check out <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2080878423">Ty's handmade candle holder.</a> Not only is it crooked, which is NOT surprising, it's pretty easy to make. Get a drill and a router...
Ok - off to church..

Doug
Did I mention just how happy I am that Doug is on TS again tonight? He is just so darn adorable! ::drool:: I love his room.. <i>A Pretty Room.. by Doug..in italics.</i>Heehee!
Did anyone else see that the British version of this show, Changing Rooms, will be on TLC Thanksgiving Day? Wooohooo! 5pm - 2am! I will be up watching them all! I am an addict!
I can't wait for next Saturday show.. here's the write up for it directly from TLC:
<a href="http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/tradingspaces/episode/season3/episode20/episode20.html"><i>Indiana: River Valley Drive
Mum's the word in Doug Wilson's room on this episode. Our ever-creative designer takes inspiration from his recent visit to Brazil in creating sarong-covered pillows and flower-stenciled walls for a couple's living room. Meantime, Genevieve Gorder tries to tame a rainbow explosion to create a family room that's colorful and tasteful. Carpenter Amy Wynn keeps busy building a fireplace extension for Doug and a new hip-to-be-square entertainment center for Gen. Oh ... and there's something about a foot fetish ? you'll have to tune in to find out.</i></a>
AND - November 30th, TS will be in jolly old England, using the carpentry skills of Handy Andy. Hildi and Gen will be unleashed on those poor unsuspecting saps. Run you bloody fools - Run!
