What the hell?!

It's 1:30 and I'm watching TLC - Trading Spaces. I can't stand Hildi! What makes her think that grown adults wants furniture on the ceiling? And what kind of neighbor would allow her to do that?

I have seen some great rooms designed by Hildi but then again I've probably seen more horrible rooms designed by her.

-Straw on the walls in a kids room
-Guest room done in cardboard
-Fake flowers covering the walls of a bathroom
-Painting upholstery black
-Wine labels covering the walls
-and now this; furniture ON THE CEILING!!!

I know that the show is in need of some desperate ratings but seriously, I started watching Trading Space because Ty was hot... No I mean; I like to see designs done under $1000. The longer the show has been on the more outrageous designs. A lot of them are very unpratical and it seems the designers go against everything the homeowners want. I went to school for Interior Design so I really like to watch this show, but now it's just ridiculous.

I still can't believe she would put all the furniture on the ceiling and leave only a few pillows and cushions on the floor. It's horrible, I would have started to cry and had it taken down that very day. I'm sure it would be interesting in an art museum or even a kids room, but in an entry family room... No way!

Okay I'm done complaining about Hildi.

have you ever seen Hildi's home? it's gorgeous and all done in white. i think she should ask herself if she would like to live in that space the next time she comes up with a design. that's the reason i stopped watching Trading Spaces. it was just too much. i can't believe people still let them come in and do what they do. all for the sake of their 15 minutes of fame.

I can't stand the old guy. he ALWAYS does something with an Old World, Spanish, brightly-colored motif...oh! and must include a sun. Who the hell wants a huge sun painted onto an orange wall in the foyer of an otherwise WHITE and simple home?! HUH? And no one likes your stupid cheesy art, so let it go!

That would be Frank. I've also met Hildi at Target (when they were here redoing a mobile home), she was cool in person but I HATE her designs.

And Nyto I have heard that her house is all white. I think a trading spaces should be homeowners go redo the designers house.

Hildi is 50/50. If I was on it and she showed up, I would forfit the show. Plain and simple. F.O.R.F.I.T!!! Did you see the time she glued STRAW, yes straw to the walls?
