I could never do a show like Trading Spaces. I imagine I'd hate the room, and what then? It's done, so you have to pay a shit ton of money to fix the hot mess it likely would be. And they used to destroy furniture left and right. I'm getting a panic attack just thinking about it.
Before I started experiencing severe secondhand embarrassment on a daily basis, watching people's faces who CLEARLY hated the makeover was my favorite part of that show! Because really, what do you do???
I have HAD IT with people ruining good furniture with this shit!
I've definitely complained about fucking Marcie from my fb bst snatching up all the nice solid wood furniture, painting with chalk paint, then distressing the hell out of it. So, I found this gorgeous hutch. Antique. Absolutely beautiful. She has people tagging her all over the place when they see something. I saw that someone tagged her, so I quickly replied that I'd take it, except Marcie beat me by half a second. I'm still so sad about this, and it happened last week. I complained about it to my husband for two days, lol. Now she's going to ruin it and sell it for a crazy price.

Ditto motzie , the velvety textures work best for painted upholstery. Once I got ugly orange-brown velvet club chairs at a yard sale for $5, then with another $10 worth of red paint turned around and sold them for $50. I thought they turned out pretty good.
And just so I don't get painted with broad strokes (ha!) as a ruiner of furniture (@ygmg) I very rarely, almost never paint wood furniture. I can only think of one occasion and that had a veneer that was absolutely beyond salvation. I am usually much more of a restore-vs-repurpose; usually I am stripping the paint off of things.

Nurse Cramer had stopped speaking to Nurse Duckett, her best friend, because of her liaison with Yossarian, but still went everywhere with Nurse Duckett since Nurse Duckett was her best friend....Nurse Cramer was prepared to begin talking to Nurse Duckett again if she repented and apologized.
