He did the famous "Lime Room" on Trading Spaces. I loved it! Ask him for some tips on decorating with a specific color. If you really want to spotlight it, how much is too much?

I have a house buildt in Black Jack. My mother orignally purchased the house while still living in CT. When I moved in 12/92 the original kitchen cabinets were removed and the seller took those beautiful full cabinets out. They almost went to the ceiling. I know I can get some cabinets that look like that but how do I make-up for that extra top? I've looked at Home Depot but nothing fits right. The last piece of paperwork on the house from Black Jack city records dates back to 1863. I wish Evan Farmer would come to MY HOUSE!!!!! I would cook for him and the crew. I also love Andrew Dan'Jumbo (sp)?. Also....I'v never seen "While You Were Out" or "Trading Spaces" do OLD HOMES!

Thanks,

Im turning my carport into a
rec room/office/room for my son when he comes home from college. I would love some ideas on how to make all that work in a limited space.

Peace Jana
p.s. Margie Im still open to help with the baby's room! LOL <3

Oh LOL

I don't want to spend money on a tricked-out custom kitchen, but I'm so sick of hearing people badmouth "big box" store pre-fab cabinets. Is there a happy medium where I can get unique kitchen design with an affordable price?

Margie NO fake plants! LOL
I laughed at that this morning!
"You did not just ask me that!" LOL

This really isn't in context to the Vern Yip questions but to Wednesday morning's (June 20) web poll about the casinos.

I've been just a few times; I'm not a frequent patron, but when I go, I really like Harrah's.

However, before I'd vote for any new casinos, what I'd really like to see get started in Missouri is off-track betting on Thoroughbred racing! A track/training facility would be perfect! My husband and I attended the inaugural running of the St. Louis Derby in August 2007, and another Missouri couple ended up sharing our bench. We're from Franklin County, and they were from Eureka; practically next-door neighbors! That night, I'd have loved to have counted all the cars at Fairmount Park and of that total, seen how many had Missouri plates. Money spent on admission, programs, the Daily Racing Form, concessions, and wagering...all for Illinois.

Last summer I started e-mailing Sen. John Griesheimer, presenting the possibility of getting an OTB issue on a ballot. This suggestion, by the way, was directly from the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. Get OTB started, they advised, then try to proceed to getting a track built. I never heard a single word from Sen. Griesheimer's office in response, not even "Leave me alone, lady."

The Lottery has been legal in Missouri for more than 20 years. Time we had a track, folks; like patronizing the casinos strictly for dinner, you can go to the track and NOT gamble, just take in the breathtaking sight of racing Thoroughbreds. Can't get a baby-sitter? Kids are welcome. Admission at Fairmount Park: $2
