Ohhhh I remember that. That was on While You Were Out. Whew. He was almost
violent. I felt bad for the wife.

Yes, Hildy was the "designer" for the cardboard walls.  I think she must be
trying to specialize in creating disasters for the homeowner -- on one show,
she covered an entire wall with feathers, and on another she used
*thousands* of flowers and glued them to the wall.  Then there was the show
when they brought a sofa in from another room, cut the arms off and
recovered it -- and the owner almost cried when she said they had just paid
to have it recovered specifically for the other room.  There is no way I
would ever turn my house over to those people!  It's not so bad when it's
just a coat of paint, but I hate it when they deliberately make changes to a
house despite that being a feature that the homeowner specifically said was
important and *not* to be changed (such as the firsplace that the designer
insisted on "renovating").

Still, I guess I'm fascinated as a TV viewer because I have watched a *lot*
of episodes.  Also, they had such big budgets for the shows Karen mentioned
that they were able to do some *awesome* makeovers (but also some strange
"challenges" for the "Home Free" shows, such as weird paint colors that had
to be incorporated in some of the earlier episodes).
