if you were on trading spaces..

okay..sort of a spinoff of the other trading spaces thread..since so many GCers are fans of the show..

if you were on trading spaces ..rank in order of preference who you would want to do your room

1. vern - he is awesome, i love every single room he does..in fact my new room in NJ is gonna be kind of vern inspired

2. doug - he may be a jerk, and cocky..but he does a really good job, again, i don't think i've ever seen one of his rooms i didn't like

3. laurie - shes just so gosh darn cute, and has a great sense of fun style and use of color

4. hildie (i don't really have a reason for her, because i think i've only seen like, one or two of her rooms)

5. genevive - shes either really on, or really off...i love her retro-mod rooms, but when she decides to do those crazy down home country rooms i don't dig that at all..she's too hit or miss

and well, i'm not even gonna put frank on this list because while frank is an adorable little man, i think his rooms are always absolutely awful..they look like sherwin williams & walmart's craft section threw up all over the place..i don't think i've ever seen one of his rooms that i've liked

My friends and I have discussed this many times...

1. Vern - He always does a fantastic job. I love all of his rooms.

2. Hildie - Only if it is a bedroom. I love the bedrooms she's done (except for the white and orange room where she wanted to dye the carpet)

3. Laurie - I agree she's so cute and always uses great colors.

4. Doug - I really don't like him because he's mean but he usually ends up doing something that I like.

5. Genevive - Probably because I'm not really into the retro style look. At the beginning of each show I always think her room will end up looking good and then at the end she always ruins it. But I do like her graphic design work and how she uses family pictures.

6. Frank - I think I would die first before letting frank do one of my rooms. His rooms are always completely random and nothing matches and they are full of clutter. I hate clutter! I think I might let him do my kids playhouse though...

1. Genieve
2.Laurie
3.Doug
4.Vern
5.Hildie
6.Frank

I honestly think I would run away if Hilidie or Frank showed up. They both scare me. The others I would trust a lot more. Gen- since she is young I think would be awesome. Now I definately would want Ty to be there too..

1. Frank (kitchen, family rooms, basement media room, whatever. Frank rocks, big time.)

2. Vern (Vern can design bedrooms like no one else!)

3. Laurie (dining room or kitchen)

4. Gen (Gen, please please please re-create the blue and yellow kitchen from the hay disaster ep in my home. Please.)

5. Doug

6. Dez (even though she only did season 1)

7. Roderick (even though he only did 1 show in season 1!)

8. Unseen new season 3 designer Kia

9. Unseen new season 3 designer Edward

10. Paige (yes, I know she's not a designer)

11. Ty (yes, I know he's a carpenter)

12. Amy-Wynn (ditto above)

13-19. Import Laurence, Linda, Graham, Anna, Oliver, Handy Andy and Carole over from CR to have a chance.

That leaves Hildi, who could come in and visit and have lunch...but she wouldn't be allowed touch one single thing in any of my rooms. Not even the garage.

1. Laurie (I have never seen her do anything too weird which is just perfect for me)
2. Vern
3. Genevieve (she does a great job at kitchens)
4. Frank
5. Doug (he has a very eccletic style)
6. Hilde (I've only liked one of her rooms. What was she thinking in that one episode when she put hay all over the walls????)

texas*princess · #8 08-08-2002, 07:30 PM

I haven't watched this show in a *long* while.. but I would have to say I wouldn't want that red-haired girl (sorry i don't remember her name!) redecorating my house.. she's a lil too wild sometimes for my decorating tastes...

juniorgrrl · #9 08-08-2002, 08:01 PM

Vern or Laurie. I don't think I'd let anyone else do it. And if the ugly chick who likes to make lamps (from season 1) showed up, I'd run screaming.

I was thinking the same thing!

My sister contacted Trading Spaces, but my apartment is too small for them.

I need a bigger place so I can meet my man TY!!!

ZTABunny · #12 08-09-2002, 01:38 PM

I would love for it to be Laurie or Frank. I adore her accent and wish I could copy it and Frank is just so funny! And I would insist that they bring Ty because he is so YUMMY!!! I read in People Magazine that he is 37, single

and never been married.

EagleChick19 · #13 08-09-2002, 01:50 PM

Probably Frank, Doug or Vern. I love what they do to a room!

dzandiloo · #14 08-09-2002, 01:58 PM

1. Vern-I have never, ever seen anything he did that I didn't love.
2. Frank-only for the kitchen or a kids room.
3. Laurie-she's kind of bland, and uses too much pastel/plaid IMHO, but still, never messes anything up. What is it with her and ceiling fans??? GOtta keep those if your in West Texas.
4. Doug-a little off-beat, but with a few exceptions, I think I could live with most anything he does.
5. Genevieve-she seems a little difficult to work with, and is either terribly boring, or terribly weird (spanish moss on the walls? Rust?)
6. I'm with whomever said Hildi could come over for lunch. She frightens me.
I think Ty is yummy, but Amy would be fun to meet as well. I'm just glad Alex and Desi are long gone.

shadokat · #15 08-09-2002, 05:16 PM

1. Vern - of course, because he uses a lot of colors I like and such.

2. Genevieve - I know she's wacky, but she does some really nice things too.

3. Laurie - But she isn't allowed to paint anything icy blue.

4. Doug - but he's not allowed to paint anything brown or movie theater style

5. Hildy - but she's not allowed to paint my couches pink!

6. Frank - I'm just not into the homey look.

OR, I'd just invite TY over for din din and a litte somethin somethin!
