Trading Spaces and Butting Heads
I'm watching the new episode of Trading Spaces and I'm loving it. The two designers are Kia and Hildi. Kia's ideas are at least colorful with a theme, Hildi is a disaster waiting to happen almost always.
The fun part is that Kia is wanting to paint the room in shades of "orange" and put in a circular, rotating foam bed. The problem is that the lady she's working with is a passionate, opinionated Latina. I love her!!! She's told Kia that the color is wrong, the bed is a bad idea (the hubby in that house has back problems), and that her choices of fabric were "interesting." I would want this woman fighting for me if they were doing my house. She's even sabotaged the wall art to stop Kia from putting something weird up! Poor Kia! *evil grin*
This is the designer's "art" versus the functionality of the room, which I have always had problems with. The designer wants the room to have a certain look, whether anyone can actually use the room or not. It obviously is the hook of the show, to see how good or bad they can do a room. I'm curious to see how this is going to turn out.
