The "designer" on Save My Bath SUCKS. This is a show on HGTV, this "designer" (her name is Krista Watterworth) does not know how to design. I record her shows because my husband and I like to fast forward to the end of it to see how ugly the bathrooms turn out. She has done maybe one or two OK bathrooms, the rest are BAD. She mixes all kinds of different tiles and does just really stupid stuff. She is also annoyingly hyper through out the whole show.
Record a few of her shows, you have to record more than one because the first one you tape could actually turn out half way ok.

I'd watch to see the ugly bathrooms too. Kinda how I love Bridezillas, cause those are some crazy ass bitches. :-)

I am a total hgtv junkie...I'll have to add her to my list. Do you know when the next top designer show is starting? I haven't seen anything yet.

Ok, bring on the BS's.

Actually, my SIL (well before she was my SIL) was a very cool bride. :)

The thing is, these bathrooms cost between $20k-$30k (they throw in $5k) and the level of design for these bathrooms really suck. In the last one I watched they put in a stainless steel toilet and sink. They were made originally for prisons but both cost well over $1500 each and if you have SS appliances in the kitchen like I do you know what a bitch they are to keep clean. When they showed it all after everything was installed you could totally see all the finger prints all over the sink and toilet. Their bathroom was from the 70's and was that harvest gold color that they couldn't stand. The toilet, sink and tub were harvest gold. So what did she do?!? She put in yellow gold colored tile in the bathtub area. :thatsright:

That's what's so funny. They're always these trashy girls that demand so much. I have to say the bride that was eating a barbecued pork chop while someone did her nails was really awesome. :rofl:

Is there a streaming site?
And, of course I must ask -- is she hawt?

Did you see the one of the hugely obese woman who gained even more weight and couldn't fit into her wedding dress? Wait I think that one was on My Redneck Wedding.

So Hildy from Trading Spaces designs them all?
The irony is that they once showed her house in France -- picture perfect with none of the insanity she inflicts on her poor targets.

I've seen a couple of the "Who's Wedding Is It, Anyway?" (i think that's the name) on Oxygen lately....OMG..some of these women are just incredible!!! And have you seen "Platinum Weddings"? Both shows have incredibly expensive weddings. You could buy a house with what some of them cost! :o
-
You could give a woman a top notch wedding and even serve stuff like this;
(http://www.caseyandlaura.com/images/redneck_wedding_cake.jpg)
And they will still be losing their minds at their wedding. They lose their minds over weddings!

There was this one girl on Bridezillas that had gained all this weight and couldn't fit into her dress, and wanted her parents to buy her another one, and they said no that she needed a diet. Then at the rehearsal dinner they went to some buffet place and she got like 4 plates of food!
I just wonder when all those men lost their balls. Especially the one who's bride told him after the wedding he wasn't allowed to hang out with his friends anymore.

Yes she is "hawt" but the way she acts you can't stand her by the end of the show. Well it might take you a few shows before you can't stand her but for me I was sick of her by the end of the first show.

Nah, I don't care about the "fancy" wedding shows. I just like the crazy bitches. :rofl:
Oh, those you know that new wedding show, where that guy comes in and changes the whole tacky wedding the woman has planned, that's an okay show.
-
Ok I went to the site and the ones that they have video of are her best ones. I think they know she sucks so they show only the good ones. I bet they have the show so people like me will watch.

They are just as crazy and bitchy on the other shows....I think since Bridezillas was already taken, Oxygen had to find another name.
"Crazy Bitches Getting Married" is not PC.... :lmao:

Kim on Myles of Style also sucks..as does most of the "designers" on Design on a Dime.
I love Candace Olsen and David Bromstad. The designers on the staging shows are pretty good too.

I LOVE Candace! I would give her the keys to my house and go on vacation for a month and tell her to "do whatever you want to whole place". She's that good in my eyes.
Speaking of crazy brides...anyone watch Say Yes to the Dress? There was one little princess who conned mommy and daddy into buying her ANOTHER dress that was like 23k because she didn't like the first one. I think it was around 10k. OMG.
-
I like some of those DIY shows or Monster house and the like. Some of the shows are totally unrealistic. I mean come on folks if you live in $200K house and spend $35K on a kitchen remodel you aren't going to get your money back when you sell. Sure you will have a nice overbuilt kitchen but thats about it. You will recoup some of your investment but comes a point where it's over built and anything above that is wasted money as far as ROI.
-

That cost a ton of money. How would you like a toilet that showed every spot, every hand print and looked like this?
(http://images.homeportfolio.com/714/12437/200.jpg)
The sink looked similar to this.

Okay, I would shoot myself or one of my family members because I'm too OCD to have something that shiny.

Those are horribly ugly! *shiver*

Seriously, what in the hell was she thinking?

Could be worse... could have been copper.

LMAO can you imagine?!? In my in-laws guest bath they have a copper mixing bowel as their sink. It actually looks really cool......when it's clean. They have an old dresser that they made into a vanity. The first time you use it it gets all spotty, by the end of the day it looks like shit. You have to clean it with copper cleaner every day to keep it looking nice. Just thinking of a whole stink or worse yet a toilet made out of copper makes me shudder.
-
I watch "Colorsplash" with that gay monkey-looking boy. He's good at design.
I like "Design On A Dime" too. There have been a few horror stories on that show.

Well if the looks like shit then it's just right for a bathroom. :-)
Sorry! Couldn't resist!

There is some stuff you can put on copper that keeps it from tarnishing as bad & as quickly as usual. It turns it black,then you buff it out and it isn't quite as shiny as it was,almost but not quite. Dang I can't remember what it's called but it's been around for yrs & yrs. I used it on a project in shop in High school.

I've watched platinum weddings from time to time. It is funny because they always portray the couple of this very nice and very pleasant demeanor. You KNOW that the bride behind the scenes is just laying down the law! Those things are insane and no woman today would allow even the smallest detail go if that kind of money is being spent.
-
Those are horribly ugly! *shiver*
*shiver* because it is ugly and can you imagine having to get up in the dead of winter to sit on that thing - FREEE-ZING!

What gets me are the shows trying to get a house more marketable. They seem to vary drastically, with most of them dissing someone because they have too much color in their house and demanding that the homeowners make everything neutral (or all white). But what really gets me are the shows where the homeowner has done the old paint everything white routine and one of the real estate witches comes in and makes catty remarks about how non-imaginative the people are. Then they make the walls red or something. They should make up their collective minds.
And BEG, that stainless steel bathroom is dreadful. I have a stainless steel dishwasher and hate keeping it clean. I probably should have gotten white. The built in double ovens (were almost new when I moved here 3 years ago) are white. My refrigerator is white, as the dishwasher at the time was also white. SR likes ss, so I agreed to the dishwasher. I hate cleaning it.

My daughter, who moved from St. Louis almost two years ago, bought a house that had been "borrowed from" by thieves.....she had to buy all new appliances.
She bought her appliances at Lowe's. They look like stainless steel, but they are really laminate. They look great.
-
All my appliances are SS. I use a spray stuff called Stainless Steel Magic. I either got it at the grocery or at Dollar Tree, since those are the only 2 places other than Sam's that I buy cleaning stuff, and it's too small a bottle to have come from Sam's. It cleans and polishes.
For quick wipes, I buy these packets of Orange Wipes at the Dollar Tree. They work great on the all of them and don't streak. I have a 6 burner gas cook top, that the top is more shiny black,than stainless, and I use them to wipe the burner areas out too and even that doesn't streak.
-
*mental note: When I buy new appliances for my house, don't get stainless, it'll drive me nuts.*

Well if you are like me and like the way they look you will get them anyway.

I have an off white sofa and I hate it. LOL
My goal for my kitchen, whenever I get to renovate it, is to have an eggplant paint on the walls. New cabinets that are just stained wood, and a nice counter top. And then have white appliances. My kitchen is small, so I think having the white appliances will make the eggplant not seem so dark, but there's not much wall that would be that color anyways. I would like to put tile down, but that would mean I'd have to put those concrete pads down (since I'm on a pier & beam), but I've been looking at that sticky fake tile vinyl and it looks nice.
That's the goal, hopefully one day it happens. LOL

My white rattan sofa and chair have multicolored striped blue/yellow and red cushions. All of the kitchen and bathroom cabinets have been painted white. No woody looking anything in my house. All I have to do now is dump a load of sand in my back yard and I can pretend I am on the beach.
-
I am not a fan of white anything... walls, furniture, cars. How the hell do you clean white walls? My apartment looks grubby -- all they do is slap a new coat of paint on the walls after someone moves out. There must be half a dozen coats of paint here already.

No white walls in the house. And to clean walls, I just use some Simple Green. :)
I think white or wood cabinets will look nice in my small kitchen. The current cabinets are white, but from the 50s and are dingy. I need to spend a weekend in there just scrubbing everything, I prefer to think I'll just replace them before then. LOL

I have stainless steel and here is a trick I use to keep them shiny...Olive Oil. :-)

BEG I thought of you tonight. The restaurant/bar I was at had stainless steel sinks in the bathrooms.

I was at Boston in Las Colinas. I had a pepperoni & artichoke heart pizza. Yum. I think the sinks get enough action during the day that they're not spotty, but I'd imagine that for a normal home they would be.

Magic eraser cleans my glass shower doors like you wouldn't believe! Not ONE streak! Also, I wipe down my tub...it is the easiest thing to use for soap scum.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try it on my glass shower doors.

BEG, thought of you tonight. I was watching HGTV and saw a program called Mylesstyles (or Milesstyles). I've seen it before. I love the before pics way more than the after.
Tonight was awful. The people had a sleek looking apartment. The decorator absolutely ruined the room. It was small anyway, but she took it from a sleek, blue/grey color to a collection of various colors with lots of "boxes" made from wood trim. It was dreadful, very choppy looking. If she had done that to my place, I would have told them to instantly get it back to what it looked like before. The homeowners weren't jumping up and down with joy, and said words like "interesting".
