Trading Spaces hits my hometown


I was sitting on the broken down sofa (they made some lame excuse why they never showed up) and I switched on Trading Spaces on TLC. Frank Bielec (who we met last year at a Home Show) and carpenter Amy Winn Pastor came on. Frank says, "We're in Media, PA". I almost fell through the sofa! They were in a neighborhood near where we all took our driver's tests (Sean most recently-see Bortondale on the map). The map shows the start at moms (blanked out the name of her road) and the area of the makeovers-about 5 miles away.
What we thought was really a hoot was when the one couple went to The Riddle Thrift Shop. That's a shop off a nearby hospital where Sean was born and mom's doctor is located. Just in Nov. '04, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie went to another haunt of ours, a Goodwill in Delaware. So funny.
We were intrigued by the tiling that the one couple did in the other couple's kitchen. I like the look and think we can do it. The mini-tiles come in sheets that are easy to glue on the wall then to grout. They also had taken down the cabinets, but they were small and metal, nothing like what we have to contend with. Media is definitely 'Everyone's hometown' (their motto).

    Who me? Far from it. But it's pretty cool having TS doing the show in an area I am very familiar with. : )
