SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

coza_usa I have recently become addicted to this show. It is a good escape from the crap that permeates on network television. It is entertaining and educational for people who are interested in learning about carpentry and interior design. I don't like the renovations of all the designers but that's OK. My only criticism is that the participants are not offered enough input into the new design of a room. They pretty much become slaves to the designers especially in the case of Douglas Wilson and Hilda Santo-Tomas.Hilda may overall be a nice person, but one time she made a very obnoxious comment to the good-natured and talented carpenter Amy Wynn. As a joke, Hilda condescendingly offered money from her budget to pay for Amy Wynn to take an electrician course since she did not know how to move electical outlets. I THINK YOU DO GREAT WORK, AMYEnough of the gossip, anyway. If you are lucky enough to have cable, watch this show on TLC.

otisburg It might take awhile for you to remember people's names (host Paige, designers Doug, Laurie, Vern, etc., carpenters Ty and Amy Wynn), but once you do you'll be hooked! Everyone pretty much knows the premise: neighbors/relatives/friends swap houses and, with the help of a carpenter and guidance from a designer, spend up to $1,000 redecorating one room. Oh yeah, and they have 2 days to accomplish this.I don't know that I'd want these designers having free reign in my house, but there are lots of times I like bits 'n' pieces of their overall idea. I may not like that they're painting the kitchen orange, but I do like how they are growing bluegrass in little pots in the windowsill.Also, it's great when the couples argue with the designers about changing stuff. Makes you wonder why they volunteered to be on the show in the first place if they wanted to keep it the exact same? If you really end up liking the show, there's a website called Television Without Pity that re-tells each episode with their own snarky comments. It's hilarious and makes watching the episodes even more enjoyable.

geja2001 Trading Spaces is an ideal television program to watch while ironing: see the beginning and the ending while getting and hanging your clothes during the middle. I cannot tell the names of the designers one from the other, but they are all bad, especially the seldom-on woman who wears the silly hats. The finished rooms are candle-lighted; this is impractical and dangerous. Who today has flaming candles on wall sconces and chandeliers? And those home-made couches and narrow benches for sitting -- what are those? What's with the painted floors, the balsa wood boxes they call armoires, the scribbles that are deemed Matisse, the foam and fabric deemed upholstery, the material STAPLED to wooden slats for drapes (How are they to be laundered?), the walls painted black, purple or chocolate, and everything else spray-painted? Then they surprise the viewer and the homeowner by glueing moss or straw or other stuff onto the walls! Recall the rusted wall? Ooh, aah, orchids!! Wow! They'll never last. Why do I watch? Ironing is no fun.

Janet_1972 I started watching this how while my husband was away on sea duty (Navy) 6 months ago, and I have to say I have become a TS addict:}When my husband returned he started watching with me and now neither of us miss an episode. (We even like the reruns;)Even our 4 yr old loves this show! This is a very helpful, informative show, with tons of unique, AND inexpensive ideas that can be accomplished in your own home.Even though I would NEVER attempt some the ideas the designers have, it is still cool to see where they get their "inspiration", and to see how they accomplish the designs in only 2 days and ONLY $1000!And I would just like to say that it is nice to be able to sit down with our child and watch an enjoyable show that doesn't resort to nudity and violence to get viewers attention. AND, it is great to be able to watch a home improvement show that is helpful and somewhat educational without being bored to tears.
