Trading Spaces

Watched the first of the NetFlix Trading Spaces DVDs -- Trading Spaces: They Hated It. While I enjoyed the DVD I can see why most reviewers on amazon.com were disappointed. It contained two full-length episodes, not-so-great bonus footage. The "bonus" was a small collection of unhappy reveals from several televised episodes, including the reveals from the two full-length episodes on the CD! Not one ounce of new material anywhere on the DVD.

Since I don't have cable I haven't seen any of the episodes, so I enjoyed the DVD. I especially liked Doug Wilson's bedroom design in the Maryland Village Green episode. It's such a bold design!! Not something a pack rat like me needs -- I'd clutter it too much -- but it's sooooo fabulous!



I've been working on the living room again, trying to pack away R's dishes so I can move my bedroom furniture into the living room. Once that is finished (hopefully late tonight) I'll be ready to mop then paint the bedroom floor. From what I've read mopping is an ordeal -- it takes two or three days to dry. Then again, I doubt the people who wrote the Internet article I read are from Texas!! If I open the French doors and turn off the air conditioning it shouldn't take more than two hours to dry. I'll have to time it.
