I didnt want that rust covered wall cuz if i rub against it i can get sick from rust exposure and the asian theming on a person who dosnt want it is just rude
I never understood why Hilde was on this show. She was one of the worst designers. But, then again maybe that’s why they had her on, to create some drama for t.v.

Because men are normal and don't get about petty things like the "wrong" shade of pink. Women are insane about their Home Decor. Things that can be easily fixed don't need tears...
That was probably the most difficult thing to undue. Besides the episode where a designer paints a couch. And there was another one when a designer painted a fridge.

The designers were always so arrogant and insistent in their designs without getting to know the people who the renovations were for. I feel so bad for some of them.
I'm always surprised people who sign up to do this show think they are going to get a basic remodel. I would NEVER let a designer in my house without showing me what they are going to do.
I feel bad for the husband in the first one. He absolutely loved it and it seems that made his wife hate it even more. Poor guy looked genuinely excited and she immediately dashed that for him.
lmao the host of this show kills me sometimes with the way she eggs people on when they're clearly upset Narrator: the homeowners wanted anything but asian decor.. Host, in the goofiest way possible: the inspiration of the room came from that valance which is actually an obi from a kimono.... *_iSn'T tHaT cOoL!?_* 😆
Yeah the basic premise is the designers amuse themselves by destroying someone’s house and then walking away because it’s not their problem. The hay and the flowers on the walls are especially horrific because she’s literally left food for vermin all over the walls. The houses will quickly become infested with insects and mice but that’s the homeowners’ problem! I mean I have limited sympathy for the homeowners because they set themselves up for this just so they can get on television…but I still think it’s horrific that these designers intentionally do awful things that they would never do to themselves or any paying client.
From what I read, there is A LOT of peer pressure and misinformation going on. For example, in one show I remember the unhappy couple saying that they didn't want to do the show but their neighbors REALLY wanted to be on it and assured them they'd keep the designer from doing anything awful. Then, they'd further get pressured by the neighbors and producers not to have too many "hard and fast' rules about what couldn't be touched or you wouldn't get picked. And, finally, the intake interviewer talks to them like they'll have a lot of say in the design of their home by asking questions like what they like and don't like, what is their vision, what are they most afraid of, etc. The home owners felt like they'd be protected by their neighbors and the producers. HA!
Hildy was the absolute worst designer on that show! She loves gluing stuff to walls. She once glued fake plastic flowers on every wall in a bathroom. It looked like the inside of a coffin when she was done 😂
These fails remind me why I switched majors out of art. Weird for weirdness sake is ridiculous. Don’t inflict your imagination on others - phuck up your OWN space.
Hildie was a maniac! Can’t believe she’s an actual designer. I always felt so sorry for the couple that needed up with her. Genevieve and Laurie were my favs, and Vern!
I would have ended up getting sued for breach of contract because the minute I found out Hildi was doing my house, I'd have refused to go forward. She was ridiculous.. orange carpet, silk flowers covering an entire bathroom, a "circus" family room, broken vinyl records glued to the walls, HAY ON THE WALLS! It's someone's home, not an avant garde entry in an art school exhibit!
@@palace927 yeah, that was completely asinine. Who the fck wants sand on the floor? I don't even really like sand at the beach, so I sure as hell don't want it on the floor of my house. It like her goal was to see how much she could fck up somebody's house!
7:53 Towards the end, when Pam and John said "keep the fireplace untouched" but that was the first thing that was changed (painted bright horrible white over the beautiful, natural brick) and the homeowner had to leave the room cyring... Oh, my... what is wrong with this TV show to do that to her? Completely ignoring the homeowner's wishes? What happened next?
I.... don’t understand the first one? Yes by now it’s dated a bit but could be great with minimal updates, and with said updates would be one of my realistic dream bedrooms! Did she have beef with the sun or something?
There wasn't one nice room in the bunch. 🤢 Hildy was the worst. She was so self-absorbed that she would do the opposite of the homeowner's wishes. Paige used to drive me nuts, too. The way she would hold their hands and hang on them was cringy. I liked Vern and Laurie's designs the best. I'd be curious to see what I'd think now. I watched every single episode back then. That's because it was the only show of its kind at the time. Now there are so many design shows to choose from that are MUCH better.
"Trisha didn't want their fireplace touched, so our designers decided to *really* fuck it up out of spite"
Right!

She was crying like that because her father had built that fireplace for her before he passed away. So it was sentimental for her. Poor thing, I just wanted to hug that sweet lady.

Hildy was the worst. Every blue moon, she'd do a nice design, but 90% of the time, it was a hot mess😁
It’s like that witch wanted to ruin people’s homes.
Imagine the amount of work it would take to get that straw off the walls, sand it down, and repaint. What an effing nightmare.
I think they once said it cost them $10K to have the room put back to what it was before Hildi.

Same! I looooved this show. These are all so awful and cheap looking. 😂
“I do like the dresser, that’s really nice.”
Yeap, just a dark brown dresser.
I thought the same thing I was thinking. Why does she like the dresses so much? It's so generic
It wasn't even a nice brown wood stain, or with interesting knobs... it was just solid dark brown
I feel like she wouldn’t have been happy with or open to most designs. That dresser remark said it all.
I hate how she was totally shooting down her husbands opinions and laughing it off. If the roles were reversed, it would not go over well.
What's worse about the hay walls is that half the family was allergic to it so they had to shut off the room for almost a full year to remodel it.
Damn!
That's ridiculous. You could get all of that scraped off in an afternoon with the correct tools.

lmao the host of this show kills me sometimes with the way she eggs people on when they're clearly upset
Narrator: the homeowners wanted anything but asian decor..
Host, in the goofiest way possible: the inspiration of the room came from that valance which is actually an obi from a kimono.... *_iSn'T tHaT cOoL!?_* 😆
That room didn't even look that bad (compared to the rest) but it still screamed Asian 😂
Yeah the basic premise is the designers amuse themselves by destroying someone’s house and then walking away because it’s not their problem. The hay and the flowers on the walls are especially horrific because she’s literally left food for vermin all over the walls. The houses will quickly become infested with insects and mice but that’s the homeowners’ problem! I mean I have limited sympathy for the homeowners because they set themselves up for this just so they can get on television…but I still think it’s horrific that these designers intentionally do awful things that they would never do to themselves or any paying client.
From what I read, there is A LOT of peer pressure and misinformation going on. For example, in one show I remember the unhappy couple saying that they didn't want to do the show but their neighbors REALLY wanted to be on it and assured them they'd keep the designer from doing anything awful. Then, they'd further get pressured by the neighbors and producers not to have too many "hard and fast' rules about what couldn't be touched or you wouldn't get picked. And, finally, the intake interviewer talks to them like they'll have a lot of say in the design of their home by asking questions like what they like and don't like, what is their vision, what are they most afraid of, etc. The home owners felt like they'd be protected by their neighbors and the producers. HA!
I hope none of their friends or family are allergic to hay. Half my family wouldn't be able to visit if it were my house.
Hildy was the absolute worst designer on that show! She loves gluing stuff to walls. She once glued fake plastic flowers on every wall in a bathroom. It looked like the inside of a coffin when she was done 😂
These fails remind me why I switched majors out of art. Weird for weirdness sake is ridiculous. Don’t inflict your imagination on others - phuck up your OWN space.
I'm certain Pixar based Joy from "Inside Out" on Paige Davis.
Omg yes lol
9:07, why did they not turn off her mic?😆
I know this is awful but it's also pure comedy! That last clip alone has me rolling!! It's like a sketch out of a comedy TV show like Mad TV
Out of all the designers on this show, not one had any talent.
Hildie was a maniac! Can’t believe she’s an actual designer. I always felt so sorry for the couple that needed up with her. Genevieve and Laurie were my favs, and Vern!
Not sure, but I think one time Hildy painted an upholstered couch. I couldn't believe it.
How about the one where Hildie stapled multi colored silk flowers all over bathroom walls. I think she even painted the beautiful wood cabinets gold.
@ 9:42 Why are they holding hands like that!
I would have ended up getting sued for breach of contract because the minute I found out Hildi was doing my house, I'd have refused to go forward. She was ridiculous.. orange carpet, silk flowers covering an entire bathroom, a "circus" family room, broken vinyl records glued to the walls, HAY ON THE WALLS! It's someone's home, not an avant garde entry in an art school exhibit!
She didn't glue the records to the wall, she screwed them in.
@@retrofun1479like that really makes a difference.
@@albtckl Tell that to someone who staples hay to the wall.
A "circus" family room with sand as the flooring.
@@palace927 yeah, that was completely asinine. Who the fck wants sand on the floor? I don't even really like sand at the beach, so I sure as hell don't want it on the floor of my house. It like her goal was to see how much she could fck up somebody's house!
Pam never wants to see those friends again
WHY THE HAY 😣
Pam crying in the background, iconic!
Anyone remember when they made that couple’s living room a circus tent with SAND FLOORS?! This show was unhinged
😂
"We don't want this"
Too bad, once our designer gets inspired, they do what they want..... To YOUR house
I can't imagine putting myself through this...I would never let anyone mess with our home. 😢
Thank you for uploading this, I’ve been waiting to see it again for so long
Me too!!
The first one I feel the lady was being dramatic. And didn’t care if her husband liked it. 😂
“You painted our ceilings toooo.” Definitely the last time they ever spoke.
7:53 Towards the end, when Pam and John said "keep the fireplace untouched" but that was the first thing that was changed (painted bright horrible white over the beautiful, natural brick) and the homeowner had to leave the room cyring... Oh, my... what is wrong with this TV show to do that to her? Completely ignoring the homeowner's wishes? What happened next?
I remember the hay one when it was on. I felt bad for anyone who got Hildi
Hay walls!? Someone should pay for that to be redone.
If I found out Doug or Hildy were the designers of my room, that's an immediate NO! They had to of does stuff just for drama to keep show going
I’m sure they are all ‘good’ friends now.
So creepy that host keeps holding their arms or hands. Like give these people space you phony.
they're trading space
This was back before social media ruined the world and people actually socialized and hugged others and held hands and weren't "introverts".
@@SomethingSomethingg there were introverts, you knob.
I hate when people do that. Almost as bad as “close talkers”
@@SomethingSomethingg Yeah, you tell everyone how horrible social media and it's effects are... on a social media platform.
I.... don’t understand the first one? Yes by now it’s dated a bit but could be great with minimal updates, and with said updates would be one of my realistic dream bedrooms! Did she have beef with the sun or something?
Seems like she hates anything with a sunburst shape.
There wasn't one nice room in the bunch. 🤢 Hildy was the worst. She was so self-absorbed that she would do the opposite of the homeowner's wishes.
Paige used to drive me nuts, too. The way she would hold their hands and hang on them was cringy.
I liked Vern and Laurie's designs the best. I'd be curious to see what I'd think now.
I watched every single episode back then. That's because it was the only show of its kind at the time. Now there are so many design shows to choose from that are MUCH better.
Paige had to hold on to them to keep them from running!
