Just read that most of the original cast will be coming back, too. I'm looking forward to this!!

I had gotten thoroughly sick of Trading Spaces and felt it had run its course when it ended. I had stopped watching it. In a desperate grab for viewers they were doing outrageous things in peoples' homes, things that were impractical and unlivable. I have no desire to see this show return.

I liked it at first, but then it started getting too outrageous.

I remember when Hilde put all the hay on that couple's walls and the time that she stapled silk flowers on the bathroom walls.

Well, I'm going to give it a chance. It did get outrageous toward the end of its first run, but let's hope they won't do that again. I'll watch and see.

I wish I could be glad to hear this but it looks like it's going to be the same crew of over-exposed and, to my mind, mediocre 'designers' going at it again. What we really need is a decorating show, or shows, that offers a more normative set of aesthetics, where everything isn't either over the top or everything looks alike.

Thank you! I was trying to think of her name. Hildi Santos-Tomas. All I could remember was this crazy woman who stapled silk flowers all over the bathroom walls. If that had been my home I would have been furious! I think the homeowners were too.

The production company had to pay to have a lot of these rooms put back to normal.

I hope if the show is returning, that Hildi will not be one of the designers. I want to see real make-overs, done as tastefully as possible.

Here's a picture of Hildi in a dress she made of silk flowers.

Here is the infamous flower bathroom.

How her website describes this room:"Hildi sometimes uses things in mass to create a greater impact. This flower bathroom is a perfect example. Over 7,000 silk flowers were stapled to the wall for this stunning effect. "

Here is the room she covered with hay.

The neighbors working with Hildi were quick to point out their concern; there was both a toddler and a baby living in the house.

@CaliKat, I just burst out laughing.

I remember looking through some of her "real" designs - very beautiful. I think she just did outrageous for the show.

I don't think I could have slept until all that hay was gone. LOL

@Bri36

I'm glad to hear she doesn't always decorate this way. I read one of the other decorators say, production pushed them to create extreme designs. I don't know why they would do that, I don't think most viewers liked the far out creations, as much as they liked rooms that were done with good taste.

The show was fun for awhile but did get outrageous after so long. And there were many homeowners who said, do NOT take the ceiling fan down, but the fans came down anyway. I use my ceiling fans all the time and would be very upset if they were taken out.

I would never, ever trust anyone to come into my home and do whatever they want to it without me being here and giving my input.

I'm sure I'll have to take a look at the new show.

I think another time she redid a fireplace with broken glass?
