Trading Spaces mentions in weblogs are now so plentiful (and mostly
a rehash of comments made elsewhere) that from now on I'm only listing those
with original and/or entertaining comments about Doug or his work. So there.
Broken links? Let me know! All of these articles are stashed in the site's database,
so I can post them here if they're no longer on the web.) Articles
added to this site in the past month are marked with  .
Douglas Wilson, Fine Decorative Painting (July 12, 2003)
Comment: Ye olde ad for Doug's decorative painting business featuring a rather plumper Doug!
Trading Spaces (Sept. 1, 2002)
Comment: Fan review which says that Doug "has a very consistent design sense even if he is prone to using dark colors and ignoring the wishes of the homeowners." This person needs to read the FAQ.
Doug Wilson, Designer Extraordinaire
By Kristy (Sept. 1, 2002)
Comment: A (seemingly) young fan's tribute to her secret crush, You Know Who. Episode reviews and general comments.
Trading Trailers (Aug. 19, 2002)
Comment: Trading Spaces — white-trash trailer-park style! I don't know whether to laugh or be outraged. Would have been nicer if the site owners weren't so obviously trying to cash in on TS's popularity. Buy Trading Trailers totebags? I don't think so.
Trading Faces (Aug. 15, 2002)
Comment: A fan with a truly sick sense of humor shows us what the TS designers would look like if they… traded faces. Excuse me while I try to get the image of Doug with Hildi's hair out of my mind.
Dress Doug! (Aug. 6, 2002)
Comment: Waste hours of time dressing (and, um, undressing) Doug with this online paper doll. Wait, that's not a waste…
Trading Cages Transcript (July 31, 2002)
Comment: Description from the author: "A Trading Spaces parody. With rats. And Doug."
Genevieve Gorder (July 29, 2002)
Comment: One of the few Trading Spaces fan sites out there, this one honors Gen. Check out the Photo Gallery for a terrific picture of Doug and Gen that Gen gave to the site's webmaster.
Stuff I did! (July 29, 2002)
Comment: A fan's sorta psychedelic digital art of Doug. I always knew Doug had a special aura about him.
Doug: Hot guy with a big nose or just a big jerk? (July 3, 2002)
Comment: A fan's hilarious tribute to her sad new obsession — "Mmmm, Doug."
Suburban Nightmares (a look at Trading Spaces)
By Karl Heitmueller, Jr. (July 1, 2002)
Comment: A fan reviews TS. He calls Doug "the worst designer on the show; his shiny makeovers inevitably look like they belong in the condo of a Hollywood junior executive, flash over substance..." Hey, Doug looked flashy (and substantial) in those leather pants!
Our basement redecorating project (July 1, 2002)
Comment: Inspired by Doug's home theater (Portland: Everett St), a fan decide to recreate Doug's design. Well, at least the drape-the-wall-in-fabric part. The rest of the room… still needs work.
Art of Trading Spaces (June 30, 2002)
Comment: Caricatures of the Trading Spaces cast by Vicki.
Trading Spaces has drama
MySimian.com (June 26, 2002)
Comment: A Ty fan's musings on Trading Spaces. In one entry, she discusses/defends "two most hated designers on the show, Hilda and Doug," because "they both have a unique sense of style and the show wouldn't be the same without them."
Doug and Ty Wars (June 20, 2002)
Comment: Trading Spaces and Star Wars: A fan with Photoshop and too much time on his hands turns Doug and Ty into Jedi Knights. Um, why?
Maine Trading Spaces (June 20, 2002)
Comment: A fan's on-the-set photos of Trading Spaces' visit to Portland, Maine to shoot a season 3 episode. Nice dimples on Doug!
Trading Spaces Episodes (Apr. 16, 2002)
Comment: A fan page with screen captures from a few episodes including Doug's Albuquerque: Gloria Place ("Wind Beneath Her Sails") room. You can also e-mail her for video files of entire episodes but you better have a broadband connection since they average 75 MB!

By Melissa (Apr. 16, 2002)
Comment: A Trading Spaces fan with several weblog entries on different episodes.

Trixie's Trading Spaces Site (Apr. 15, 2002)
