Summary: One Big Caveat
Comment: I, too, used to be devoted to the show, but have grown weary of some of the designers with no talent. This book has gorgeous pictures, a myriad of things you can do yourself and does not mercifully feature Paige that much.However, devoting 6 (count them) pages to that hideous bathroom that Hildi covered with artificial flowers was a large dirty trick. I could not believe the ugliness of that bathroom, imagining the steam making those flowers run, and the dust, etc. build up on them.Then, when you tire of that decor, (instantly) the hours it will take to remove the staples and refinish the walls for a new treatment. She does this over and over because she is plain lazy. Just likes to plaster idiotic labels, records and the posies all over walls. I wonder how she would like this treament in her own house. I wouldn't let her near a possession of mine.The book gave Kia, another decorator with no talent, not much space. Considering the hideous rooms she has done, that was not a surprise. Love Vern, Frank, Edward, but the women are off the wall.I still buy the dern books though, can't resist. Not enough range of colors used though, predominantly oranges, rusts, reds, grays and browns. None of which I like or would use. I think I would hire a decorator rather than rely on these people.

Summary: Even better than the first book
Comment: I'm addicted to Trading Spaces and love their books. I bought the first book which was about the show behind the scenes, and I loved it. But this is even better because it's all about decorating ideas shown in rooms from the show. It's kind of like a freeze-frame look at the show because I can stop and study the rooms from TV instead of being frustrated when the video cameras pan a room too quickly. I am seeing a lot of ideas that went right by me when I saw the rooms on TV. There is great information in here and pix of all my favorite rooms.

Summary: Can't get enough!
Comment: I love Trading Spaces, and I can't get enough of the show or the new books showing rooms from the show. This book is filled with one surprising idea after another just like the show. I can't look at a Trading Spaces room without thinking about all the ways I can use those ideas themselves or use them as jumping off points for my own design plans. I am a fan of decorating books in general (occupational hazard because I am a designer), but the Trading Spaces books are unlike any other decorating books on the market. They have a different energy and vitality. They are fresher. I also find that my design clients who watch the show and buy these books seem more open to new design ideas, which makes my job much easier.
