My TiVo records some very odd shows. It has indeed recorded Trading Spaces, but I don't particularly like that show. I think what gets me is when the occupant says pre-makeover, "Whatever happens, please no pink!" and then in the very next shot, the designer is unveiling gallons of pink paint. Do these folks not listen? :D

I have however fallen in absolute love with What Not to Wear, BBC version. The American version gets on my nerves as the hosts are just plain mean. Trinny and Susannah are mean, too, but they know what they're talking about. I don't get the same feel from the American hosts, who look as though they might need to have their styles tweaked.

It's still too warm to think of flipping around boxes and stapling fabric to them, but now that my sister is rearranging her visit, I'll have time. Heh! When I'm done with it, it should look decent. I'd like to put up some bamboo blinds to snarfle the view of the apartment across. The bedroom I live in has a tree right outside; the second room is off the porch area and so it's cooler but looks directly into the unit across. Perhaps a potted palm or something on the porch to screen the view. Hmm.

Except, you know, I'm tired of schlepping stuff up the stairs. I need rent-a-schlepper.
