I guess I am a sourpuss but I frequently like the rooms better before. I remember one episode where they painted this woman's entire dining room BLACK! ugh! Whatever were they thinking!!! I don't think I could ever let anyone decorate my house because I want it to reflect me and the things that I like. Don't get me wrong. My house is FAR from a show place! It's just simple and ordinary but I love it. Nevertheless I still watch the show and my daughter loves it!
