I enjoy the show, but I don't think I could do it because most of the designers (except Frank) don't follow three basic rules.

1. Do not paint over natural wood. Stain it. But dont paint it a different color.

2. Do not cover or paint brick. Why do they always want to slap plaster over a nice brick fireplace?

3. Ceiling fans are nice! They all like to take down ceiling fans. I don't get that.

I briefly thought of painting my kitchen cabinets, but sanity prevailed -- when I sell the place, painted (rather than stained) wood might as well bear a big neon sign "WARNING: SELLER IS HIDING A PROBLEM".

This weekend was the first time that they didn't take one down - of course, it was a screened patio in Orlando, LOL.

That's my main beef!

I don't get it either. I love my ceiling fan! I think it's very pretty.
