#Aprella #day6 #Doomed The life of the horribly burned patient being looked after by a French Canadian nurse in an Italian villa at the end of WWII is doomed,he‘ll never leave the villa alive.Having amnesia from the crash that will take his life, his memories slowly return as he recounts his doomed love affair with another mans wife, a torrid, passionate love that ends with her dying alone in a desert cave & his current predicament. Love can suck.

Trading Spaces: Behind the Scenes | Brian Kramer

#Aprella #Doomed I'm really excited that the reboot of the TLC decorating show Trading Spaces airs Saturday night. If you missed its original run (2000-2008) neighbors switched houses & with a designer, re-did one room in the other's house on a budget of $1K. The real fun was in the often REALLY bad results (huge farm murals, a bathroom with hundreds of silk flowers stapled to the walls...) & seeing which couple was most doomed by the designer.😱

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Mdargusch

DebinHawaii P.S. It's book-related because they had books like the one tagged based on the series and I was doomed to own a couple of them back in the day! 🤣 7y

Reviewsbylola It was an awesome series! I watched it a lot! 7y

Jokila I watched a ton of it! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I even tried doing “funky” orange wallpaper on my own because of that show lol 7y

shanebeth I liked the episodes when people got upset best! 😂 7y

hyperashley I am so excited for this reboot! 7y

Drnkpnkprincess Bahahahaha yes! I‘m so excited. Looking back thru the episodes, between the clothing/hairstyles/design ideas, everything screams early 2000s 😂😂😂 “this is what the world looked like when you were born” all parents to teenagers 7y

ejxjdjjx Me too! I was excited - and surprised - to see that they were able to bring back almost all of the original cast. I'll be taking a break from #25INFIVE to enjoy it tomorrow night.📺🏡 7y

Notafraidofwords I know it‘s mean but I loved when one of them cried lol 7y

swishandflick My mom and I used to watch this ALL the time! Always cracked me up that every time someone said "definitely don't get rid of my ceiling fan" it was always the first thing to go ? 7y

Mdargusch I just watched a rerun and the people were so upset with their rooms. It‘s such great tv! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage We watched a ton of this also! Thanks for the reminder about the reboot. 👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 7y

Susanita Hildy and the straw on the wall! 7y

DebinHawaii @Reviewsbylola @Jokila @shanebeth @hyperashley @Drnkpnkprincess @Carie73 @Notafraidofwords @swishandflick @Mdargusch @BarbaraTheBibliophage I love that so many Littens love this show too. And especially love that I'm not the only one who loved the disasters & upset people the best! 🤣😈🤣 7y

DebinHawaii @Susanita Yes! She was the flower stapler too!!! 🤣🤣🤣🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼 7y

ejxjdjjx I hope Hildy is on the first episode! Wouldn't it be hilarious if she has done a complete 180 and now paints everything in neutrals?!😂 7y

LeahBergen Did you ever see the one where they glued all that hay to the walls??? Oh.My.God. 7y

emilyhaldi Lolol @swishandflick re: ceiling fans 🤣 This show was such an entertaining disaster!! @DebinHawaii I‘m so excited to watch it again!! 7y

emilyhaldi OMG @LeahBergen dying!!!! Why would that ever be ok?!?! I pray that it‘s still as disastrous as it used to be 🙏🏻 7y

DebinHawaii @Carie73 That would be pretty funny! 🤣🤣🤣 7y

DebinHawaii @LeahBergen @emilyhaldi Yes! The hay on the walls. Hilly loved to glue things on walls. I hear they upped the budget to 2K per room for inflation but I hope they keep the 'disaster factor!' 🤣🤣🤣 7y

Arcana 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️ 7y

dsfisher Stapling flowers to the bathroom wall, Moss to a bedroom wall. Insanity at its best. Like watching a train wreck. 7y

DebinHawaii @Arcana 🤣🎉❤️ 7y

DebinHawaii @dsfisher Oh yes! I almost forgot the moss! 😱I may have to try to squeeze in some of the old recipes they are showing before tomorrow night. 🤣 7y

lovelyn I loved that show. Can't wait to see the reboot. 7y

Cinfhen I never watched this show but it sounds bonkers!!! 7y

bookandcat This show used to give me SO MUCH ANXIETY. 7y

Doomed | Chuck Palahniuk

The first one was damn good, so maybe the sequel was always #doomed to be a failure.
#aprella @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi @Cinfhen

Reviewsbylola Wow, I had no idea there even was a sequel!! 7y

emilyhaldi I hate it when the sequels don‘t live up to the original! 👎🏻👎🏻 7y

Cinfhen I‘ve rarely read a good sequel 🙄 7y

PagesOfKate Trust me @Reviewsbylola this is one of those sequels that seems less about plot and more about the author making some $$$ - not worth the effort. 7y

Reviewsbylola Fantastic picture. I wanted to love this book but didn‘t. 😣 7y

Mdargusch Good one! 7y

Kalalalatja @HardcoverHearts I‘m a bit jealous! Hope you had a great time 👏 @emilyhaldi ❤️❤️ @charl08 it is actually a pouff, but it makes a great background for photos 👌 @Cinfhen it was really a great read! @Reviewsbylola bummer! 👎 @Mdargusch ☺️☺️ 7y

HardcoverHearts @Kalalalatja - the conversation was even more dynamic and thoughtful than I expected. If you get a chance to hear him talk about the book, please grab it. It enriched my understanding significantly. I already really liked it but now I also admire the work. I hope you end up enjoying it as well! 7y

HardcoverHearts @Cinfhen See my reply above^^. It was a very thought provoking evening! 7y
