HGTV Possible Free Room Makeover by Genevieve!
http://www.hgtv.com/dear-genevieve-gallery/package/index.html
Several lucky viewers will receive design tips from Genevieve online or a makeover on her new show, Dear Genevieve, starting in January.
I'm in!!!
Reggie 
Just Asking I like Genevieve its the other chick that outs weird thyings on the wall that scares me. Like once she put hay, fur, feathers, plastic flowers to name a few.
Christine Yup - Hildi and Doug are the worst!!! If either one of them did one of my rooms, I'd be redoing it the second they left.
Jill lol who was the one who glued a million flowers all over the bathroom? That was disgusting. The red headed designer was my fav. I need a dining room. Even if the do a crappy job, it's better than nothing at this point. As if they're even going to do it. :-)
every guy i know loves watching shows with genevive in it for some reason i just cannot understand...
they also complain that she wears too much black....strange huh?
muffin Don't ask me why, but I'm hooked on Candace Olson. Maybe it's her height (I don't discriminate against tall women:-), or her design sense. OK it's all of the above and more:-P
Phil D. Divine Design - Rocks! Good taste, Phil D. - she really knows what she's doing and I love how the room ALWAYS looks exactly like her renderings at the end.
happy2bhere We need help no one can make up their minds on anything. Also a very hard living room (very small) and rally no wall space. 13 ft wide at widest point then down to 9x9 ft for dinning area. total lenth of the whole space is 24 ft. Tried every thing to make it look good but it never really looks finished.
Bob Candace is the best, she has the natural talent for room design.
They don't say how much she spends though, and the renderings at the end might not be what she started with, it seems to me that they make them after it's all done.
ScoresmanI know 2 different people who had rooms (a bathroon and a bedroom) done in their homes by design shows. Both were mortified at the shotty work. The one that had his bathroom done now has to rip out the walls because the pipes are leaking and causing mold. The one that had her bedroom done said that most everything was held together by velcro! How much can you really expect in a weekend's worth of work?
Divine Design does a great job, but I hear you pay for it (and A LOT). I don't think that one is a freebee.
kitchen is 15yrs young used everyday i have new stove dishwasher and microwave stainless still with a sidebyside refrig. white need help with more lighting for my 55yrs young eyes oh oh yes my kitchen cabinet are sad very sad plenty of them ugly pickel gray iam more oak girl.i need help with the color for caminet i love country mixs more the freanch side sssssooooo please help this woman that loves to be in her kitchen but hates the color of her cabinets.

esther somma Dear Genevieve:
I believe I am eligable for a room makeover as I have had HGTV on from 8:00 AM until 11:00Pm since it started. I love to decorate , and HGTV has NEVER done a makeover on one of their show in Buffalo, NY. My dilemma is my l/r, d/r arragnement. On the south living room wall is an ugly stone fireplace that goes to the ceiling. The north wall has an 8ft. arch to the d/r, a door to the kitchen, LOST SPACE. East wall has a large window. west wall is full, however with the kitchen entrance it is difficult to place furniture. HELP!!!! I have a sofa, loveseat and 2 chairs. I envision a white mantle and wood cabinets on either side of the fireplace with bookcases on top. Another problem, 42 inch TV in there too. Carpeting is gold as are chenille sofa ad love seat. Chairs are moss green. PLEASE come to Buffalo as a first for HGTV and help me. I am a young 63 yr old nana who loves a beautiful home!!!! I will make the crew homemade meatballs and sauce with homemade ravioli. If you can't come, could you please ask design on a dime, color splash or any other of your great programs to send a designer here?
Carmen LOL! Is Genevieve reading this? We could start a new form topic directed towards her in hopes that she will. :-)

Sincerely, Forever L.C.
Forever L.C. We have lived in our small home for 16 years. We have 3 grown children,their 3 partners and 5 granddaughters (with 2 more grandchildren on the way.) When we are all together it is very cramped in our living area. We need help creating more space for our gatherings. Please help us!
Dear Genevieve,
I love waatching when you design a room.
Welcome back!!! My problem is that we has new
kitchen cabinets and counter tops put into
our kitchen about 16 months ago and still have
ugly kitchen carpet. And i do mean ugly. I am
on Disability and my husband is retired. Well
getting him off his recliner to do something
about the kitchen is a joke. Also we have this
monster buffet that a friend gave us. It matches nothing and takes up a whole wall.
Plus our main back entrance into the kitchen
is asliding glass door and figurreing out a
window treatment that can be closed at night
and when it is cold has been a nightmaare.
Please Help!!!!
Yours truly,
Jacqueline
Jacqueline Hogg Dear Genevieve,
I need a dining room. So I can dine. In a room. I need furniture. That's my problem. I have been looking for a set similar to my grandmas and still have yet to find it at the flea markets or at Christine's.
Thanks, Reggie
OK. I've been thinking..... (yes I do think from time to time). Once upon a time, I did do some staging and minor renovations for "for sale by owners" which grew quickly, but I had to move here. Do you want quick, cheap room renovations? I'll throw you some ideas. The only time involved for you is CLEANING THE CLUTTER and some elbow grease!!! Start posting pictures of your rooms and I (and the rest of the posters) can give some direction.
dear genevieve: I have a rec room that at one time looked like a gentlemen's club complete with music area and dance floor, wet bar, full size pool table and lounge area. But it has since become a disoriented area that needs a new focus. I have been working for the past several years to update my home both outside and in so when the time comes I can put it on the market but I am running out of energy for the task - especially this room. Interested?
susan b. We downsized and are empty nesters preparing for retirement. We would like to make our third floor an office/guest room. Right now it is the storage area for everything that would not fit anywhere else in the new house. There is no closet in this large room. I would like to have some storage space that is easily accessable. The room is approximately 20' X 12'6".
Because it is a third floor room, there are also 2 dormer windows to which the ceiling angles. In all there are 2 different ceiling angles within this room.
There is an additional adjoinging room that I think is plumbed for a bathroom, but right now it is just an empty room. It measures 7'6" X 7'6".
Cindy Dempsey Hi Genevieve,
I hope for HELP!!! We, like a lot of other people are going through some economic hard times. We purchased a house to knock down to two walls and start over.
We hired an Architect and got great plans. Then the loan market changed and the loan we were told we had was denied. Well, to say we had to make a change in plans is an understatement. We had to move into this 1940s little beach cottage. Dark brown wood,tiny kitchen, (no dishwasher) one bath two bedrooms and another bedroom that opens to the now master bedroom.
The only thing we liked about the house was where it was. Beautiful San Clemente,CA. Waking distance to the Beach! My husband has been working every weekend to make this house livable for our daughter and I but he is one man and its a big job.The room I want help with is the master bedroom.It was once an out door patio.It's cold and it has no storage.I have most of my things still in a storage unit because I have no place to put them.This would be a great gift for my husband to have one less room to do.He really deserves it. Come meet him and see all the work he's done. PLEASE HELP!
It's late and we just welcomed in the new year(at least I did, he's a sleep from working so hard.)Well, Thanks in advance.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Sincerely,
Fia Rufo
Fia Rufo Hi Genevieve,
I watch so many design tv shows and get so many great ideas. Well I think their great ideas until I head to the home store and there I find myself looking at a gazillion colors......and then Im back to white again. My living room is white and have wanted to add color for so long but am scared that Ill mess it up. I wonder how do you mess up white walls. This is the one room that everyone sees when they come to my home it has not one good wall for furniture and three exits and a stair case, and a huge wall of windows.I struggle with even placing furniture to make the room flow. If theres one person in this world that can bring in color and make the room flow its YOU. Please Please I need your help.
lost and confused color and designer

ALICIA Dear Genevieve,
My mom and dad have had our master bedroom empty for ten years!(except for some plants.) They have removed the carpeting and have revealed an ugly plywood floor.They have also removed the wallpaper and now the room sits waiting for a make-over.The master bedroom would be for me because my parents think that i will need the room for not only sleeping but studying and entertaining my friends.I live in a tiney room and need more space. My parents haven't even touched the room since then. They are not sure what to do with the space. They were thinking about having shiny wood flooring installed, and perhaps 1 or 2 more windows. They wanted to remove a closet in order to make more space in the bathroom adjacent.(they gutted that bathroom in order to replace it and make room for a tub instead of the tiny shower that used to be there. They havn't got that done yet either.)I have been waiting 6 years for this to happen. It would be spectacular to have it done. We need some help!

The Lounge will be back to normal after the holidays...People just need to recover
How are you feeling
OMG!!! what is going on???? LMAO Guys, do a google search that says "makeover by genevieve" H Life is the first one up! lol
Administrator, you may want to delete this topic. People are misunderstanding. I'm ok with it. :-) I hate to lead people on.
Reggie You are so Funny...You try to help people out with a link and now look at it.
PLEASE DONT POST YOUR ROOM REQUESTS. WRONG WEBSITE
If I were a millionaire and didn't have to work I'd help them all out. I have a hard enough time making it through the month for just me. :-)
Dear Genevieve,
Can you build me a BIG SPECIAL Room, complete with a fully loaded bar, 56" TV, recliner chairs, dance floor, DJ Booth, Roller Track for my 2 Roller Derby friends, a table for a cake, so Just Asking can pop out of, play area for kids

Dear Genevieve,
My daughter and her husband are newlyweds of one year.
In a nutshell, they greatly need help in their kitchen. It needs a makeover. They tried to do their own floor by painting it with pale yellow and white chex...on linoleum and it looks OK...but they need professional help.
They are young and fun. They need counter space and whatever else necessary to work in the kitchen that they so love to do.
PLEASE HELP !!!!
Lisa Taylor Dear Genevieve, We need ideas and help with our dining room . It is a interior room without any windows. there is a fireplace in between two doorways. The bottom of the walls are painted yellow, the top half is wallpaper yellow with blue print asisan print. There is a skylight off center. Help !!! We have great ideas for the rest of this "60s" house but are at a loss with this room!!!!!!!! Sandy H.

cbel This thread is too funny! I think Reggie needs to start giving these people some answers! 8) After all, she's the one who volunteered:) Or, maybe someone can email the link to this thread to Genevieve's people! Jan?
(I think it would be good for our new Admin to at least take the personal info. out. Guess this requiest needs to go in Reggie's To The Admin post.)
Hopeful in H-town "All I want is a room somwhere. Far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair. Oh wouldn't it be loverly....loverly.....loverly" Sung in a better male voice than mine however;-P
Dear Genevieve, I am in a northern suburb of chicago, called Lake Villa, Il. We have a newer house & could use some tip ideas on how to model a fresh open space english basement of approx. 1500 square feet 30 by 48 feet. Can we have your winning services to create a nice family area in this space please ? We love your show & could really use your spectacular help. We see that your company, HGTV has delighted others in the chicago area, & hope to see you in our small Lake & boating town here.

Your request is going NOWHERE.
OMG This is too funny. The more posts the longer it remains the first hit when searching. I think it needs to be removed all together or the Title needs to be edited. OWNER of this site........((((((((((Hello)))))))))))
There are going to be very disappointed people when they find out their request has gone no where near Genevieve.
Firefly Visitors, see the first post -- there is a link where you can post your photos and pleas. Here it is again:

We don't recommend that you post your stories or personal information here.
Hi Gen, I have been living in my apartment for over 8 years and I still don't know what to do with my Living Room. It took me 3 yrs to do my kitchen, I am in the process of doing my bedroom and my Plant room. My dressing room is a clothing explosion. My office is just drab.
Wendy tired of waiti Living Room/Sitting Room
We have purchased our first home together 2 years ago. It is a 100 year old Victorian/Cottage and have a Living room attached to a sitting room and do not know how to incorporate it together.

What do you think these people search for that brings them to our website.? And I can't figure why they don't (can't?) see what has been posted before them. This sure is a puzzle!
SueR: I just find it curious that so many people post here. And I agree about the little girl. I would like to see some back-and-forth with our admin about how this site is managed, i.e., why this thread hasn't been removed.
cbel - What they search for is "Free Room Makeover by Genevieve". Really. Try it. It actually brings up our very own HL site as number one above the real HGTV site. ;-)
Personally, I think we should give them our own version of advice. "Genie-Sleve of Hackleburg TV". (HBTV)
Genie-Sleve says:
1. M&M's. Decorate everything with M&M's so it keeps Hackleburg alive.
2. If you're afraid of color, face your fears by painting everything candy striped pink. Everything, not just the walls - be sure to paint your faces as well!
3. If you're afraid of placing your furniture, don't! Get all of your family members in the room, lift all the furniture well above your heads and simply hold it there. We'll be sending Yellow M&M over to tell you when you can put the furniture back down. Don't worry, Yellow will be over any day now.....
4. Anything you see on the show can be purchased at Second Time Around here in Hackleburg.
5. If the advice isn't to your liking, we understand. Remember it's not like you asked Genevieve from HGTV, this is Genie-Sleve from HBTV. ;-)
GC Funny, GC. I just googled like you said and it brought me here. Are there really so many people who aren't with it enough (I won't say smart enough) to read comments from othere before they post? And now I'm done with this. Let them post away and hope.
Hi my name is Gail i watch you and your makeovers on tv i think your great.my problem is i dont know how to put colors together and make them look good.the colors on my walls was here when we bought the house they make me sick when i look at them.i have not worked in a year and dont have money to get it painted so i sit here being depressed without a job and a ugly house to go with it. please help me fill better about myself and my home.
Gail OMG I am so in need... My house is a beautiful 1987 Dutch Colonial on almost 5 acres in Marlborough CT All windows very pretty but Im stuck in the 80's I cant afford to do it over but I can paint. I have one problem I have all dark wood trim all over the house and I remember paying extra for all the window sills etc What color paint goes with dark trim? HELP ! I NEED suggestion and any help I can get.
Jane I say we reply to them telling them they WON, & to send a small fee to a bar of our choosing. It could be our happy hour fund.

SueR - I'm sorry but Green is unavailable. She's currently engaging in a psychiatric practice specializing in the needs expose on this thread by people outside Hackleburg. These people need far, far more help than a room make over.
Peggy - Afraid Genie-Sleeve is a teetotaler so bar money does no good. On the other hand, checks payable to GC, Hackleburg NJ will be put to good use. ;-)

Geneive just saw you on tv the one where you redo the family of six home Your work is beautiful. How much do you charge to redo one's home? I've always wondered. I feel blessed with our home but, would love my kitchen to be open---- but, would like to know the process of how you get professional people like yourself come to me-- Gloria Dallas, Texas
Gloria Riojas i love that people do not bother to read things, just look at the google link and run with it...
i guess ignorance is bliss because you have no idea you are screwing up!!!
Dear Genie Slieve,
My cats have seemed to take over my living room. I would like to design a room around them. I'm very partial to the lamp.
Dear Gen,
My favorite lap dance room is in need of remodeling. The decor is, shall I say, gaudy, and the mixture of black lights and strobe lights are very distracting. Plus the seat cushions have grown so soft that I sink into them and they probably need at least a good cleaning, if not replacing.
Thank you for your time and I hope that you can please help in this urgent manner!
Dear Reggie -
You are truly the only one worthy. You win!! All the other entries pale in comparison. (not to mention they all don't even know my name) There's only one problem, your gorgeous room is already designed around the cats. (and I can't blame you for loving the extra fluffy lamp) The only thing I can suggest is accessorizing your lamp with a tuna. A large tuna. A *very* large tuna. Not one of those plastic singing tuna either, you need the real thing. Change weekly. Possibly daily. (there are a few cats)
Your feline friendly Hackleburg pal,
Genie Sleeve
Scoresman -
If black lights and strobes are what distracts you in a lap dance room, you certainly have a disturbing problem. Unfortunately Genie Sleeve has no medical license and does not want to bring liability issues to HBTV. Please refer to the thread on urologists who have a little blue pill that will solve your urgency and soft "cushion" issue.
Your somewhat creeped out Hackleburg pal,
Genie Sleeve
Hi
This is Genevieve. WE HAVE A WINNER!! I will be doing Clyde Potts room. Thank you for all your requests. I'm sorry we will not be taking any more entries at this time.
Whoo Hoo! Can't wait to see the after pictures! Way to go Clyde and Bessie!
Guess we can close this thread down, eh?
but i did not get to write in about my opium den/hooker room....
i rent it hourly and have five level bunk beds for all the old school junkies, you know, like sherlock holmes!!
lots of seedy folks have been complaining that it is too cramped in there and the hookers really don't like getting splinters from the rickety bunk beds being so small and rough wood...
i really want to expand and add a meth lab/play room for all the kids being born back there...
(think that may get it shut down, and no i am kidding, my neighbors would totally complain if i had folks in and out of my house all day and night....though they would be quiet from all the drugs!!!)
maybe now it will get shut down!!!
Reggie - Did my cats let you into my house or did you break in? But thanks.......I could never figure out who was drinking all my beer and getting into the catnip! Damn Cats!!!!!
John C Dear gen
Hi! I live in a 1973 trailer in bad shap we got a bigger trailer
almost 3 yrs a go we ve done most of the work on it but still not
where we can move in we have got most of the matireals for the projects
but we are working or it take two and the other is working.
we really need some help my sister has come down and helped me on
one or two days she live out of town so she cannot help me like she would like to & me and my husband really like to geat our 2 girls out of the liveing
room and in there rooms at the othere house so .gen if you can help us
please we would love to meet you and even help you.
Georgie You know what these people are just dorks. Whatever, they dont deserve to win because they dont read.
I am not a resident of Hackettstown NJ or its surrounding area but this bulletin board is a HOOT!!! I'm not sure why folks can't understand this is not a site for Dear Genevieve. I've read the whole thing and I have laughed many times!! Genie-slieve -- good job with the m&m's. Well, ya'll stay warm and keep having fun!
Tessie -
If you're not from around here, you may not realize Hackettstown NJ is the home of M&M's head quarters and produces half the countries M&M's. (there is a second plant nationally, and others world wide) So the M&M's have particular meaning around here. You're welcome anytime.
Georgie on the other hand and their "liveing" room is in big trouble no matter what "matireals" they have. Genie-with-nothing-up-her-sleeve waves a wand and destroys the double wide on the spot. No, no replacement either. That's just evil and deserves to be banished from the face of the earth.
Your decorating sorceress,
Genie Sleeve.
maudie need help with me to bring my living room which is 18ftx26ft. upto date and roof leak,painting for sure..i need to wider windows to the front so light can come thru and my driveway with patio garden.railings for my porch..see i am disabled and my housing projects are going loose and forgotten since my husband and a friendpened their own business
SueR (and the rest of us): I don't get these people. Doesn't it make you glad you're you?
jrsemom Dear Genevieve,
I am from Nashua NH and I am in desperate need for a kitchen make0ver. The main problem is that my furnace and hot water tank along with my washer and dryer are in my kitchen! Yes there is a door for the furnace and hot water tank but it is just hideous. In order to go from my kitchen to the bathroom you would have to walk through the living room since there is no way around the furnace. It's just not suppose to be there. I have brand new appliances, my husband is very handy and has done alot of work both inside and out. I just need a place for the furnace, hot water tank, and washer and dryer. I do have a partial basement that is dirt, but you do need to go outside through the bulkhead to get to it. Please Genevieve, I have been here for 6 years and I just can't take it anymore. HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP.
MrsG Dear Genevieve,
I don't know how to begin this letter.
I will start by saying I love home design. I just wish I knew what to do in our home. We have a very small home, but cozy for my husband and I. Our house does not have much color other then the items in the house. Our wall colors are white, white and white. I am tired of white walls. Our house is only 28X56. We live by a lake. The lake is called Lake Perry. This house is a 2 bedroom 2 bath. Kitchen and dining room combo. A living room and a living room/man cave downstairs. Which is half the size of the entire house.
I am getting ready to paint. Do you paint a room one color and the ceiling another color? Is the trim to be painted to or can I paint it too. What is the best thing to do? If I could have a makeover I would really want to learn and help in the process.
I would really ease my husband thoughts if I had help.
We live in Kansas. Maybe to far for you to travel. Answering my questions would be fine. I would understand.
I would like to thank-you for your time.
DT
Della Thornburgh These pathetic letters are making my request to have the lap dance room redone look serious.
Dear Della,
Yes Kansas is too far too travel. You have my sympathies. First of all please do not call your family room a "man cave" . You husband does not deserve to have a room so from now on it will be your room. The latest trends are to paint the wall one color and then have the ceiling another. I would suggest a nice bright burgandy on the walls and pink on the ceiling. The trim should be removed. As far as you learning to I would say stick to what you know best and don't get involved with decorating as this is a highly skilled area and best left to the professionals.
Also, I am afraid that you do not have the ability to pay attention to the finer detail. If you wonder how I know this read some of the other letters here and you would realise that this had nothing to do with Genevieve or a decorating show.
Yours truly,
Firefly
Let's start another thread:
Join next season's Biggest Loser! Tell us how much you weigh, how much weight you want to lose and why, and send us three pictures of yourself in a bathing suit, and maybe you'll be chosen!
Rebecka For a family room, I would suggest using a flourescent green color for the walls. Then just paint some red dabs all over the green paint with a small paintbrush. After that dries, take a sponge - dip it in some white paint and dab the walls in a circular motion until there are white circles everywhere. When that dries, pour half a can of pink paint onto a pillow. Throw the pillow at various places on the wall. Take the other half of the pink paint and with a paint brush, splatter it onto the ceiling. Be sure to cover your furniture before starting, and send us pics of the final result. Good Luck!
OMG you all are too funny. These poor peeps writing in. lololol
I can't beleive they are not seeing this as a forum and NOT a decorating show. lolol
I like the biggest looser, but lets forgo the bathing suit pics. ;)
abbadabbadoooooooo Oh, Rebecka! That is way too cruel. I'll bet people would actually write in. Those poor things; we can't take advantage, can we?
This is a question for Firefly on "either or." Should we start the thread or not? The evil side of me really wants to do it, but my "little Catholic girl voice" is telling me that God will get me if we do.
The Genie Sleeve wand is waving about...... Where will it land??
Joe - You've used a whole bunch of words but still made no sense. With a wave of my wand your new room is a 17ftx25ft dictionary. Make sure to tear out pages, read it and post it on the walls.
MrsG - Washer dryer in the kitchen? That's it - move everything including your sofas and beds in there. Stack them up high if you need to. Brilliant!! (Well what did you expect, the is Genie Sleeve!!)
Della - don't be silly, you live in Kansas. Click your heels twice and say "There's no place like Hackleburg, there's no place like Hackleburg".
Genie with the light brown M&M
cbel....the devil made me do it. If we promise to go to confession maybe we can get away with the Biggest Loser thread. I will promise to go.
GC very funny.
Jill very creative too! I love the throw the pillows at the wall.
Thank you, Jill!!! I forgot to use the "cover your furniture" tip. You are a fantastic designer!!!!! Thank you, again!!! I love it!!!!
Reggie, your room is lovely. Jill gave you a great design. It makes me want to throw a painted pillow at my walls.
Thank you, jrsemom! It took me all day today to complete. Jill is the best designer, EVER.
I would loved to be blessed with your presence in the Free Room Makeover. I am in the process of redoing the basement foundation and that has sucked the money right out of my purse. I need the make over to redo a special space for me to relax and not worry about paying for the rest of the project. I would like to put the basement and have a just for me space for me and the grandchildren. Please HELP!!
Wildcat Reggie OMG you are a genius with PhotoShop! Love the green room done according to the instructions. The Elvis room is beyond. Are you in creative arts? How do you know how to do that?
Reggie,
I LOVE IT!!! The room looks better than I could've ever imagined!! lol
If ANYONE needs any other design tips, I'd be happy to help!
Rebecka, I've been known to be creative. :-) Jill!! You did great! lol, i followed your steps and was laughing throughout the process.
Dear Genevieve, I am a 47 year old widow with a 29 year old son that is married with two beautiful granddaughters and I have a ten year old son at home with me that me and my husband adopted when he was 13 months old. My husband was killed in a tragic auto accident just after my ten year olds 3rd birthday which left, just me and him alone. We have been alone, just the two of us up until June of last year and then, I met a wonderful man with three children of his own. Two of them are grown and the other is 8 years old. We have purchased an older home in the center of Weaver and it is gorgeous but it needs to be made modern and beautiful but keep the orginal integrity of the house with its crown moldings and wood floors. It needs your touch all the way through. I want modern, elegant and confortable and from what I have seen of your beatiful work, I think, YOU are the designer for us. Please.......we need your help....so we can begin to enjoy our first place together. We both have been through some rough times and deserve this chance to start a new. Please help!!!
In Love in Weaver,
Julie Her married 29 year old son has 2 grandaughters. Oh boy here we go again....Reggie can you do something here please.
Dear Genevieve, Saw your show last night and you were trying to hide the computer cords from the TV , Computer set up. A good way to do that is to use the old telephone coil cords that everyone has had at one time and you can buy them new. I always save the old one and cut it in the length I need and then just coil it around the cords I want to hide. You can put about 3 to 5 cords, depending on their size, in one coil and then they are not all over the floor behind the desk or entertainment center. For the ones along the floor you can buy strips to cover them at a home inprovement center. We have used both. Just a tip.
Lois Osborn The all knowing Genie once again is called on to save the day.
Julie - You need a make over all right, but there is no Genevieve within a thousand miles of here. This is *Genie Sleeve* who grants Firefly's wish to have something done with you. Presto! With a wave of my hand I have tied the tubes of you and all your clan. Anyone who can't read what board they're posting to gets sterilized!!
Lois - That wasn't that other creature on TV you saw, it's me, Genie Sleeve from HBTV. I was trying to hide the cord from you, not from sight. You don't deserve TV if you can't figure out you're no where even close to reality. I wave my magic wand and rid your house of all wires. No electric, not TV, no stereo speakers, no nothing!! Perhaps then you will actually be able to hear something. If you don't have lights any more, well, hey, this is Genie Sleeve. ;-)
Genie Sleeve strikes again!!
Wait, Genie Sleeve, isn't HLTV? ROTFLMFAO!!! 8)
Thanks, GC (and Reggie and Firefly and everyone), I needed really that.
"I needed really that".
Hopeful - Is it me or did the pod people take you over in the form of Yoda?
GC: When I read Hopeful's post, I read "I really needed that" and didn't get what you meant by Yoda and the pod people. Then I came back later read it again. "I needed really that," and I just found a new favorite colloquialism (or however you spell it).
Again, I needed really that!! LAOM, GC! 8)
Smiling I am again, GC and cbel! LOL!
cbel - Yeah, our brains work in strange ways. We're often reading so fast that we put the words in the order back we in them expected. ;-)
LAOM - you did it again Hopeful! I think that misconscription is a better new favorite colloquialism that your previous one. No better picture than your a** itself doing the laughing.
jrsemom - Genie's work may be amazing, but it's no miracle. Her work sure isn't born in heaven. Think a bit further south. ;-)
You are you more Hopeful now?? (and it not, just have another cupcake, or let Yoda take over and be a pod person - I won't take it personally if you turn in to Yoda and are still taller than I am)
Okay, GC, the first one was an error, but LAOM was on purpose, OLL! 8)
Smiling I still am! BTW, are you stalking me or am I just that predictable? I just got back from the cupcake place! I don't think it will make me grow UP, as it were, but I am definitely more Hopeful today!! And I do think you're taller than I am!
Have a good one everyone!
Hopeful - my comment about cupcakes was based on what you said about getting the dozen free at Christmas. It sounded to me like you're practically a permanent fixture there. ;-) If I was stalking you then you would have been at Harpers and Greene's Beans today, not at Cmere Cupcake. As for height, yeah, OK, I might be taller than Yoda. But otherwise unless you're like 5 foot even, I'm not going to be as tall.
[ and I forgot this last post, but just in case JA reads this - don't think I missed that height comment at SR ;-) ]
Dear Genevieve
I am a 64 year ol great grandmother and need help with my kitchen. My husband and I have done projects and have the ability and tools. I just can not decide on colors textures etc. My kitchen is one long room with dining table and hutch in one end. Cabinets are good and painted beige. Could use any color but when I pick out countertop then can't find out what color floor and vice versas. I need HELP. I don't remember seeing many redos in the state of Arkansas and would love to have you come down and visit my kitchen. We will have to sell in the next 5 years due to age and this would help us recoop our money when we do.
BRJ1101 Just wait a few months, a tornado will come through and blow that trailer right off it's wheels. Then you collect the insurance money instead.
BRJ - You don't know just how much HELP you need. I know things are different in Arkansas, but are you really putting your money in a coop? And if you're smart enough to take it back out of there, for sure don't recoop it.
As for your room - no problem, Genie Sleeve can help. (well, sort of) Waving the HBTV magic wand, I hereby transform your room into a magnificent chicken coop!! If it's good enough for your money, it's even better for you. Get out the chicken wire and feed - spread both liberally. Feet scratching optional. Feel free to do the chicken dance.
My work here is done.....
[Hey, who didn't see that one coming?]

jrsemom - We should *all* be so lucky that a quick storm would blow all these out of touch people away.
Dear Genevieve,
I have to be bold to ask for your help. I live in a 1 BR condo in NYC. Embarassingly, my place looks like a warehouse that I am cannot even ask friends to come for a visit. I don't know how to begin putting my place together because 1) I don't know how, 2) my bad back due to a car accident limits my doing so, 3) I'm taking care of my mom who for 7 years now has been in total care (she has alzheimer & Parkinsonian, blind, and can't talk nor walk). I just took an early retirement so I can take care of her full time 24/7. My roommate helps me with my mom's care, but he also had an open heart surgery with quadruple by-pass. Until now we just have to make due of our situation. However, if you can help us, we will be forever grateful to you.
Manny Dear Genevieve,
I need your help. I live in a 1BR condo in New York City. I owned my place since 1982. After all these years, I have accummulated stuff and my place looks like a warehouse. I just took an early retirement from my job so I can take care of my mother who has alzheimer and Parkinson's disease. She's a total care patient in that she's blind, & can't walk nor talk. In short, she's bed-ridden. I can't do much of the makeover myself because I have a back problem due to a car accident. I have a roommate who helps me with my mom but he himself had an open heart surgery with a quadruple by-pass.
I know with your help, it will make our place more livable, and consequently, could make my care for my mom easier.
Thank you.
Dear Genevieve,
My husband retired two years ago announcing "We need a project"! We?? I was still teaching school! He decided we needed to replace the kitchen counter with stone. I went along with the idea thinking we could also remove the wallpaper (icky) and put in a new floor(double icky). His response was , "you don't have to match anything. Just choose the counter and then think about the walls and floor". I am a big fan of HGTV and knew it would not work and sure enough the counter went in and he dusted his hands and said "that is that"!
We went through 19 years of restoration on our first house and we were young and could do most of the work ourselves. This house is only 14 years old and I don't want to wait for a kitchen . I made poor decisions when we built this house as all the decorating was left up to me and I am a beige person. HELP, make my retirement a dream come true................rescue my kitchen!!
Sincerely,
Sandie
Sandie, Sandie, Sandie. Genevieve is a tramp, you don't need her. Your makeover Genie is here to the rescue. (or some facsimile there of) I can tell you for sure your kitchen is *not* the problem. It's your man. Poor decisions for sure! What are you letting him remodel for, when it's modeling he should be doing!! 19 years and it's not your house that needs restoration. You don't need a handyman, you need a handy man.
I'm waving my magic wand, round and round it goes - whoosh!! I grant unto you three wishes. #1 your husband has been sent on a long term assignment to Moscow, land of vodka, borscht and ugly women. #2 I have sent our best escor... er, restoration specialist over with one of the most hefty tool belts ready for any emergency. And boy does this sound like an emergency. #3 My very good friend SueR has donated 19 years worth of something called his and hers K-Y. I really don't know what that means, but retire, close your eyes, and think of England. Our specialist will have you humming in no time and banish your beige for ever.
Happy hunting....
Genie with way more than you want to know about up her Sleeve ;-)
Excellent suggestions, Genie Sleeve! Could you send one of those guys over here, too? To hell with the room makeover! And make sure he brings some of SueR's K-Y supply:)
Rihanna - you and Madonna doubling up again?? I just heard on the news, so I understand completely. You probably should ask Madonna but I understand she has a whole different set of her own toys. I can send one of our escor.. (there I go with that word again) I mean a specialist, but I can't guarantee whether Madonna sends him away or makes a meal out of him. Your choice.
Genevieve, There are several rooms in our house which we have not been able to do but I believe the bath rooms are the worst---stuck in the 70's. I have arthritis and the doctor has suggested I get a jacuzzi for warm water therapy but we really have not been able to afford it. It would make us so happy to have one of the bathrooms done. Please help!
Mary - You don't really think that witch is here, do you ? It's me, Genie Sleeve. Not that horrible other one.
Need help in the bath? Don't worry, EMBRACE the 70's. You don't need a jacuzzi, disco your arthritis away! Get a glitter ball and hang it from the ceiling where the light used to be. Shine that spotlight on your bunions! Get a fog machine and boogie oogie oogie! Take out all that ugly granite you must have in your modern bathroom and replace it with orange and brown double shag! Oh yeah, baby. Leisure suits rule!
My job here is done.
Genie the Disco Inferno Sleeve
Genie, I would be willing to share Madonna's toys, but not her boys, LOL!
Thanks so much for all your help with these posters-who-know-not-what-they-do! I'm really enjoying your advice!
Rihanna - Don't worry, I don't think Madonna's even got boys on her mind. I did mention she wanted a double date, right??
cbel - One of our subcontractors is a guy I've known for almost 20 years when we worked for the same company. (contracting at AT&T in Morristown I might add) He's from Hackettstown, and may not be a regular reader but he's seen Tigger's picture on the forum. So I don't know how much of a secret it is. ;-) But that's OK he jokes around a lot, for all I know he may volunteer to be a "handy" man. >:-)
cbel - When I was talking here about our subcontractor, I didn't mean any pictures on this thread. I just meant in general from previous months.
But Tigger has appeared recently - as the latest moderator, very protective of his computer. A champion of niceness. And tuna.

Genevieve you are my favorite person to do a room makeover for my husband. Genevieve he has always been a giving man to everyone he is around. He was brought up with no money and he had to fin for himself. He and his brother's played in a band to help with expenses. His parents told him that he would never amount to anything so he had better learn to play drums the best that he could to make a living. I can not even comprehend a parent telling anyone that. We have fixed a room with his musical equipment in it...but it really truly needs a makeover. I can not tell you what it would mean to have a room of his own like that. He plays bass guitar at our church, but also loves drums. John is someone that totaly appreciates anything that anyone gives him. He will never forget his childhood but with special things that he get's makes him feel like he is worth more that his parents thought that he was. If you pick him you will not only be a answer to prayers, but you will give others an appreciation to do the best that they can in life no matter what the cards deal us.
Thank you in advance..Sue
Sue Dear Geneveieve,
After moving 13 times as a military wife and at age 50, I was finally able to build my dream home. I am very grateful for my home, however, we did not have a good experience with our builder and as thus, have been trying to make improvements for the past 10 years.
Within two years of moving into our home, our custom cabinets began to "peel or fray." We also need new counter tops and new flooring. I have tried to be resourceful and to make the right decisions. One of the problems is that when I have a company or individual come out , they all give different advise as to what to do about the cabinets....... reface them, throw them out, refinish, stain, paint, etc. I need your help, please.
My kitchen opens right into my family room. This is most likely my last opportunity to turn my living space into what I want. I would love a cozy, relaxing living area (kitchen/family rooom), earthy colors, clean but not ultra contemporary. I don't seem to be ble to pull it all together. I would love a beautiful living space that screams warmth, style and creativity.
I would be so grateful if you would please come and help me.
Nellie Nellie - you've moved once to often and can't seem to figure out where you are!! This isn't that horrible Geneveieve, it's the Genie with nothing up her Sleeve!
You want cozy warm colors, but you can't decide what to do and you can't decide which company to listen to and you can't decide which forum to post to - you need discipline! You're a military wife, snap to it! You need to do everything over in CAMOUFLAGE!! How's that for *earth tones*!
Hey - what did you expect for Genie Sleeve?
My job here is done.
[why DO these people come here, and why DO they make it so easy to keep from running out of material - if one more person from Kansas comes here, I swear I'm gonna be the one to click my heels and go home...] ;-)
Genie Sleeve: You have given so much of yourself to try to help the clueless, and I, for one, have enjoyed reading your helpful hints. But now it's time to put yourself first. Some people just can't be saved. So unburden yourself and have a lovely weekend.
(But if you can't stay away, I will be to hapy to hear from you again.)
P.S. I'm looking forward to 3/25.
Dear Genevieve,
My hubby and I just bought our first home last year. I have two almost teen age girls and a one year old. The kitchen is the heart of our home, it's the first thing you see when you walk in and the last thing you want to see when you walk out.. every thing is so miss matched and who every thought it would be a good idea to put a white conter top in should be killed. I can tell you the last owners LOVED red wine or had a thing for grape juice....PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
Yasha cbel - It's just a burden I have to accept. ;-) By the way, what about the parade tomorrow? Or the book swap next weekend? I'm thinking I may see you before then...
SueR - I don't know that's not much to work with. I'm thinking this will be a referral to someone better equipped to help... ;-)
Yasha, Yasha, Yasha - where do I begin?? Your kitchen is the first room in the house? And the last? Yasha, you have a one room house and it's nothing but eat, eat, eat. I'm sensing we may be a little overweight here. You don't need Genie Sleeve, you need a personal gastric intake coach.
The Genie rolls up her Sleeve, waves the magic wand and sends you this:

Genie Sleeve: I can see that you really love your job, so go for it!
I will be at the parade (don't know where) and the book swap. I'll keep an eye out for you.
Hi Genevieve:
My wife and I are looking at re-painting our bedroom and one wall has dark paneling installed what would you suggest on covering this paneling with paint??
Ed and Sue Lola Sherman
Hi Genevieve, I have watch you for years, I've enjoyed your style. Iam in need of a makeover
in my bedroom. Iam the breadwinner in my family, my husband had a T.I.A. and we lost
that income and I have not been able to catch-up enough. My husband has to sleep in the other room and that is due to my snoring and frequent movements. I think I deserve a special
room. I would love to have you redo my room.
Thank you for considering my request.
Lola Sherman I need major help. When I bought my home 12 years ago, by bathroom was going to be the first thing I remodeled. In the meanime, I became single income and only had the money to do major repairs that popped up. I then took my mother in who was ill with a lung isease and had to be careful with any kind of chemical fumes, so I put painting, etc. to the back burner. She has now passed away, and I am at the point where I am sick of looking at this pitiful bathroom. It embarasses me and I seem to have most of my family get togethers. Please send me information on how I can sign up for the free room. It's worth a try, anyway. What have I got to lose?? Thanks for listening. Please advise. . . .
Cheri Siebert Never fear - Genie Sleeve is here. Never mind that awful whiner of a woman on that *other* network.
Congratulations you've all won!! All of you!! Oh, believe me, you haven't won any room make over, but hey this is Genie Sleeve from Hackleburg! I grant you all wishes. (not *your* wishes, but wishes none the less....)
Ed and Sue - Paint over paneling? What are you thinking? Get a jig saw and do animal cut outs in the paneling. If you're going to have something that ugly no way do you want to just cover it up. Instead expose it to the world! Make your house value go..... Well, did I remind you this is Genie Sleeve? >:-)
Lori - Oh don't worry, you deserve a "special" room alright. In fact you've won a whole new address. You've been picked so pick up your phone, you only have three short numbers to dial - just remember to tell them you've lost all your sheep and need help collecting them. Don't forget to leave your name as "Bo" and direct them to your house. Some nice men in very very white uniforms will be right over to take you to the new facility, er home, you'll be living in for a while. (it's what you get for doing such a thorough job of posting here... ;-)
And not to forget Cheri - You're quite the winner too. You started your post off so good too - "I need major help". Oh you have no idea just how right you are. You sign up to have all the family get togethers and yet you have no real bathroom for them? You've won a free trip to the Porta Potty Factory. No, not to actually get, one, but you will be living here for the next month. After that when you come home your bathroom won't look so bad any more.
Now people tell me that ugly witch Genevieve could come up with solutions like these. ;-)
My job here is done.

Dear Genevieve,
I am writing to you because I love your work first of all, I watch HGTV hours at a time...Last year my husband lost his job due to him having to be off work from a surgery. He worked for the same company for 34 years and than was let go for be off more than a year....It has been so hard on him being limited to what he can do now and me working so much just to keep things going. What I would want is a make over of our back yard, maybe turn it into a nice place where we can enjoy family time and just relax. We have a big space just limited funds (and ideas) to pull it all together. Thanks for all you do for other.
God Bless
Jacqueline Horton
Jacqueline Horton Horton -
Quick! I mean *really* quick!! Rope off the entire back yard and be on the lookout for that awful Sour Kangaroo. Destroy any Beezelnut oil you may have laying around.
Save Whoville! After all, a person's a person no matter how small.
Best wishes -

Amommy Dear Genevieve,
My name is Sky Siegell, I live in Upper Freehold New Jersey. I moved into my home in 1994 and it has been a never ending battle for me to fix it. I guess you could call it the money pit . Right in the middle of fixing our home I and my husband were struck by a car as pedesteras as we were helping someone who already had been involved in an accident , for us that was the end of everything. In 1995 my hubby had the great idea to rip out my master bathroom a little before the accident and since then we havent had a master bath , its been I think14 years now. Oh he did a great job! LOL well basicly we have rafters.He even riped out the sealing, and in the winter the wind rips through that room like a tornado and its cold burr.Please Please come and help us! we need you so. You are an amazing designer and a worm caring and so afecionate person . It would be nothing less than a merical if you would come and help us . Praying for a dream your friend Sky.
Sky Siegell 
Lori...since '73 
ianimal Sky - You ripped out the seal and are taking care of worms?? I'm waving my magic wand, I hope you're ready......
When the smoke clears, I give you a beautiful new room. Well, actually you'll be waterproofing it and making one huge water tank out of it. When it comes to worms vs. seals, don't be stupid, choose the seal!! Throw out the husband if you need to instead of the seal, it's probably better smelling anyway!
My job here is done -
Genie with the fish smelling Sleeves
Genie,
Can you wave your magic wand and make them stop??
Although it is kinda hilarious what these people write and your responses : )
Jill -
"Can you wave your magic wand and make them stop??"
Now why would you want to make me do a silly thing like that. Think of all the great times we've had here. It's the only way I can one up that awful *other* celebrity who stole my name!!
Now on the other hand, since you mentioned it, I have a nice hill and a pail of water set aside for you any time you'd like an outdoor remodel. We can have the ambulance at the ready if that accident prone Jack comes by. ;-)
(and if you gave him a push instead of that accident I won't say a thing)

[Couldn't you just see this one coming]
For people wondering why this continues to happen, people think Google is always right and they don't actually read any of these posts.
See:
http://www.google.com/search?q=ask+genevieve+hgtv
That's just the thing, Chris. How can so many people not read the other posts? It's scary.
cbel - Look at their posts. Which is scarier, the fact that they didn't read the others or the wacky, hideous things they say?
I think the scariest part is the lack of grammar and spelling!! Can you imagine those people on TV??? Toothless and a tinge of red neck'ed ness, maybe???
YIKES!
Hi Genevieve We're the Frost family, we love your show and your personality reminds my wife of her older sister, outgoing and flamboyant. We have lived in our little house for 19 years and wish we could move on but with three kids and trying to make ends meet it not that simple. We have always wanted a large family room for the kids but our basement is small and not finished off. This has been a dream of my wife's since we've lived hear. By all means the kids and my wife deserve it. Please come back to Mn. and help us out. Thank You.
John Dear Genevieve, My husband and I are retired now. We moved into a small home about 8 years ago. We made our basement into a museum with all the things we have collected over the 48 years we have been married. It has turned into a monster. We have this collection on one wall and shelves with lots of things on them. It is so busy you cannot rest in this room. Every where you look there are things and more things. A wall with something different on it and tables with more stuff on them. We are ready to get rid of all these dust catchers and make a relaxing retreat for us to have a nice tv room with a table and chairs where we can do our puzzles and have coffee and sit with our laptop computer and enjoy life. A sofa and a flat screen tv would also be nice. We have plenty of room for all these things but we are not sure about what colors to use or how to lay this room out. Our upstairs is very colorful. We like lots of color but we realize our home has a very busy decor. That is why we would like one of our rooms to be more relaxing and laid back. Please help us. We have trouble toning down our decor. We always start out small and before you know the decor is over powering. I am a good homemaker but by the time I get done dusting I don't have time for fun. Please help.
Mary from Kansas Mary - Get it RIGHT! It's Genie Sleeve - that other w....ch is someone else. ;-)
And read above - you've won! You've really won! Anyone from Kansas wins the same thing. Just click your heels three times and say "there's no place like Hackleburg". You'll get everything you deserve. If it doesn't work the first time, do it again only harder.
My job here is done.

Dear Genevieve:
My kitchen needs a makeover badly. My house was built in the 70's and was a model home. The counter tops are poppy (orange/red) colored formica. The wallpaper that we replaced had large poppy-colored partridges which we replaced with tiny hearts/flowered wallpaper 20 years ago. The cabinets are formica and very dark wood colored. Needless to say, my kitchen is a disaster. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on updating my kitchen but I sure would like to have it done. I have seen shows where the cabinets are painted and even the countertops are painted somehow, and the makeover looks great. That is what I am looking for. I would love to send a picture, but I am not very good with the computer. This letter has taken two months to get done. I watch HGTV every day. I stay up late at night when I don't get a chance during the day to watch. I'm your biggest fan! Please consider me for your next room makeover.
Thanks,
Jo-Ann Scott
Westlake, Ohio
JoAnn Scott JoAnn - Poppies? Did you say poppies? Just scratch them gently while they're still growing, and collect all the residue. Smoke it in your opium pipe regularly. Oops, sorry, if that message took you two months to write and you posted it on some no-name New Jersey local town web page instead of the real thing.... Yep, you're on drugs.
Genie who doesn't have any tracks on her Sleeves
Dear Genevive, Your designs are awesome and to that end, my beautiful daughter-in-love and son could use your HELP!!They have two unbelievable little girls---do I sound like a proud gramma or what??--so space and organization are a problem. The master bedroom doubles as an office complete with two computers PLUS bedroom furniture. Brad and Jackie are great parents. They both need to work--she in real estate and he is a Miami-Dade firefighter/paramedic. So all their free time is spent with the girls making sure that family is number one. This mom would love to see them in a "new" organized bedroom so any suggestions that you might have wouls surely be appreciated. Thank you, Mary
Nana Dear Genevive At HGTV:
this would be for a possible room makeover and this would be the 2nd bedroom which I have as the computer office/room. If you can help in this area and I can get rid of alot of papers this would look great. I am the only one doing this. My husband would like most of this thrown out. Anytime he sits at the desk he tells me when are you going to throw this out. I guess we have to know some of the other things. Hope you can help on a computer room makeover. this would be nice since we moved in our new house in Hot Springs, Arkansas in January of 2009. This would be a surprise for me and also my husband.
Kathleen Robinson Dear Genevieve,
I writing to you with great hopes that my mom who retired from working so hard to take of her family since she was a teenager and my mother-in-law who is about 70 years old will be selected to receive a free room makeover by you. I watch you on HGTV whenever I am not working and taking care of my family. However, it is my constant prayer that God bless my mother and mother-in-law with a very beautiful retirement life by giving them their heart desires. I know one of the things they pray for is a beautiful home that they can really enjoy and relax in. It would be absolutely a blessing to me to see them receive a free room or home makeover by you.

I think you are one of the most talented and realistic designers i have seen! I have been redesigning and painting my house for the last 16 years. It seems like i never finish. There is one particular area in my house that ido not have the courage or the TALENT to even begin! guess which room? BATHROOM - AND MY BEDROOM!YUK Where to begin? It would be an honor and a pleasure to have you come down to south louisiana to help me accomplish my dream of redecorating my and my husbands space. come on down and see the beautiful area and bayou side we live on, and the view that i would love to enhance. So what do you say come on down and visit us in Baldwin ,La. Hope to see soon!
Charlotte Lanclos Oh no here we go again.... :-D
I'll leave the responses to those feeling creative tonight!! Bring 'em on!
Dear Genevieve,
Hii it's amazing to write to you!... I just want to start off by telling you your someone the entire family loves, a person I admire and someone i look up to. I am a twelve year old boy who waches ur show all the time. Most weekends I visit my aunts ranch style home hoping for her to redesign her OUTDATED living room. She loves to have family around, but her living room is not very invitiing and most times empty due to the dark, dingy walls. She doesn't have kid friendly furniture either so that makes it hard for her to let her 8 year old little girl and her 3 year old little boy step in to the small and narrow room. Off the living room is the front enterance that is never used because stepping into the space seems uncomfortable and depressing for all the family to enter. It hurts knowing her husband ( My soon to be uncle ) and my grandmother ( Her mother ) got diagnosed with diabetes and she and I would like them to come home and vacation from the hard work they go through. she has been going through alot of stress lately because of juggling her children, the wedding and her students who need special attention and care. I want to give her a designer room as a surprise wedding gift but I need YOUR help to do it. GENEVIEVE PLEASE come and help us!!!!

All I can say is Genie Sleeve should let that "Aunt" run the show. Anyone 6 kid juggler is better than Penn & Teller. I've seen bowling ball jugglers, and juggling chain saws, even a bowling ball, a chain saw, and an apple all at the same time. But six kids in the air is more work than Genie Sleeve can do...
Hey, Genevieve .. I am not sure you even read these things with your busy schedule but I just wanted to say if you are ever in the Hollywood, Florida area my home could use a makeover or update. I am a single mom with two and I care for my mother who is 79. I work 50 to 60 hours a week to make ends meet it definitely is not easy. Between work and the kids I have no time or the extra funds to do any renovations or just upkeeps for that matter. I keep it clean and thats about all I can do. My future goal would be to move to jacksonville to be close by my family but I know with my house not being updated I wouldn't get much if I sold it So if your show is ever in my neighbor I would love to have you make over my place.
Thanks so much for your time,
Tina Fowler, Hollywood Florida

Clyde Potts Hollywood. Hooray for Hollywood....
I'm in Hollywood all the time. Really, I have a big customer there. It's not exactly *that* Hollywood is it?? You know the fame and glitter, the *real* one. It kind of reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.......
Anyway, forget that awful real Genevieve, Genie Ready-for-her-closeup-now-in-her-long-flowing Sleeves is here!! I can solve everything! With a mighty twirl and and click of the heels - your house disappears and in a puff of smoke (never mind the man behind the curtain) the entire structure is replaced with a set of 5 40' high wooden letters!! No! Not *those* letters, only 5 of them. G-E-N-I-E!! It's Geniewood!
Perfect. My job here is done.
[Hey, what did you expect here from the Hackleburg web site?]
"So if your show is ever in my neighbor I would love to have you"
Genie Before you go will you please take your show out of her neighbor. Thanks!
Now FF - you know that's the "other" one. Genie Slevees does no astral projection or illegal entry.... Not on weekends anyway.
Complain to that awful Genevieve!! Truly evil. >:-)

Hey--
Been watching your career for years and now I'd love your HELP. I was recently diagnosed with cancer in my happy place and it's really brought me down--that and my living room! Apparently all my old neighbors got a deal on faux stone and it's everywhere (pool, spa and unfortunately fireplace.)
The pool I'll have to deal with and have filled in or remodeled but I'd love to see what you could do for my living room/fireplace. I think there's brick under but since my last regrout attempt was a bust on my floors I'm afraid to chip away at my firplace. You can though--you have my faith and admiration completely. San Diego is really nice this time of year and I can rally some really tough troops if needed.
Debbi Anderson

Calico696 Tom - I'd like to see your mom's face even more than you do. When she finds out you posted your request on "Hackettspatch Nowhere USA Forum" for Genie Sleeve to answer.
Debbi - Forget you, you can't even tell if it's your living room or cancer that's bringing you down... You've got a rally of "rough troops"?? What woman wouldn't come running to that party???!?!? I'll dress in leather and bring my whips and chains.....

Hi Genevieve!
I guess I'll start by saying that I have design dislexia...hehehe. I have no idea what to do with my house that we bought in Garland Texas 2 and a half years ago. I have a sunk in formal living room with a step up to what is supposed to be a formal dining room...but I refuse to make it that because then I'll just end up having to cook for people at Thanks Giving and X mas lol. The formal dining room area is next to a large dry bar area that I love. Part of it was made out of an old piano(You have to see it to know what I am talking about). I have always wanted color in my house...since I have always rented before this and have always had to have just white walls. I have painted the room...which by the way has vaulted ceilings(I had to ask my hubby what those ceilings were called lol). I painted a wall(huge wall)chocolate with the other walls a greenish color. (I took that idea right off of a paint swatch booklette at home depot). Now I have no idea what I could possibly hang on my huge dark brown wall. That Is my main issue I guess. I would like to make this space comfortable and pleasing to the eye since it is the first area you see when you come into my house. I have no idea what my style is but I do know what I hate. I love rod iron and wood. I love warm colors...brown is my favorite. My husband and I are exactly the same in our tastes so he wouldnt be a problem having a difference of opinions.
I grew up on a farm in a small house in Canada that well...lets just say design was not a priority.
I also have lots of other design dilemas in my house that you might have ideas for. I would love to have your help.
Beverly Sharp Dear Genevieve,
Please help me.I recently lost my job and I have been staying home to look for another job.I can't help but try to fix my house the best way I can.However with this cream colored walls and cream colored carpet. I really don't know where to begin.Please help so I can at least feel better about being home.It is kinda depressing to be alone at home. I would love to get ideas and maybe a makeover.
Mitos M Gepes Mitos -
You think *you're* depressed??? How is it that you can't spell my name right?? It's "Genie-sleeve" not that awful horrible way to perky Genevieve....
I've got the PERFECT thing for you. Wait for it, you're gonna love it!
Genie waves her magic wand - and turns you into a coffee bean!!! It goes perfectly well with your cream everywhere. Plus you darn well need to wake up and smell the coffee if you've still got a home at all...
Not what you were expecting?? Still depressed?? Sorry, but it's what you get when you can't read where you are. You're in Hackettspatch NJ baby.....
How could I have missed this thread? It's definitely the most hilarious one on here.
cc Hello, I am writing to you to help out my mother,she will be 60 years old this June, she is having some difficulties with mainly one room but has other thing to be done. Her bathroom could use a major makeover,it has mushrooms growing from the walls,she works but just makes end meet and can't get her bathroom done. If you can help it would be much appreiated.Thanks for listening and hope to hear from you soon. Thanks again ! Heid iMigliaccio
Bathroom First of all let me say Genie LOVES *you* Heidi. Or is that Mrs Bathroom? Or is it Mrs Magoo?? You have the best posts. Whether it's here where you've come to the exact right place, or on Ellen's site where you ask her how to buy Oprah's book... Did you ever notice even the slightest difference between those two people? Any? Any at all?? Are you sure it's mushrooms, and not perhaps, I don't know, birds? Or Campbell Soup cans??
Well anyway, I just love mushrooms. Your solution is easy!! Buy 85 gallons of cream and splatter it all over the walls - Cream of Mushroom Soup. Yyyyuuummmm!!!!
My job here is done.

Dear Genevieve,
I am from Westminster, CO and I am in desperate need for a basement makeover. I bought my house for five years now but I never have any desire to spend time in my basement b/c it's very dark end empty. The only thing that I use the basement is to do my laundry and store my clothes in my walk-in closet. Every time it rain, the water from outside goes in my basement and it flooded my basement. I have to pull up the carpet to dry it. It takes a week to dry it by using the electric fans, a rag and bucket to get most of water out from the wet floor. If there is lots of rain this summer again then I will be very sad because I will be busy cleaning my basement week after weeks.
Please Genevieve, please help me by giving a makeover on your show soon so I can enjoy my summer and not worry about my basement. I love your show very much and I love all the shows that you did the makeover for others.
Thanks
Re: HGTV Possible Free Room Makeover by Genevieve!
Westminster? Westminster!!?! It's WESTMINSTER!!! We have Royalty amongst us.
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!!
Round and round it goes, the Genie Sleeve wand is about to land!! (run for your lives, where ever it lands it's gonna blow...)
I hereby transport the Queen of Hearts to your basement. (you didn't think I mean *that* Queen did you??) And ever time it rains she'll shout "Off with Michele's head!! Off with Michele's head!!". Michelerella has to slave over her rags and mops cleaning up the water and can't go to the Colorado Ball.
Lady, IT'S CALLED A SUMP PUMP. You don't need a make over, you need to fix the flooding before Noah pays you a visit.
[big heavy sigh] Once again my job here is done.
Genie of the Royal Sleeve
I do have a sump pump, I even paid $650 to put a new sump pump part in but the flood problem still exist. I really do need a makeover because the makeover members will know how to solve the problem for me.
Michele - You still don't realize do you? This forum is a bunch of people from a tiny little Hackettspatch NJ. It has absolutely nothing to do with the show, the network, or her. Right? Are you aware Genevieve doesn't even take feedback any more they got so much of it?
PS. "makeover members will know how to solve the problem for me." They only do interior design. You don't have a makeover kind of issue, you need an engineer not an interior designer. You don't need a show to get you one of those. But if you did want a show then something like PBS Ask This Old House would be a far better bet.
Dear Genevieve,
First i want to start off by telling you i have the best mother in the whole world. Growing up my mother has worked very hard to make sure my sister and I have had everything we have ever needed on a very small income. As a child my Mother and Grandmother both raised my sister and I and May of 2009 my Grandmother got very ill and passed away as well as my Moms younger sister in November. Over the years the kitchen has gone to shambles. The linoleum on the floor is peeling badly and the cabinets and counter tops are falling apart and the kitchen table is might i say very dated as well as the chairs. All though i would love to just tear this house down and build her a new one the kitchen is probably the worse part of the house. I love my mom very much and I would love to give her something to lift her spirits after everything she has gone through over the past year from losing her best friend and Mother. Genevieve PLEASE! consider my mother for a free kitchen makeover. She truly deserves it!!
Thank you, Sincerely,
Brandy
Brandy Cartmell 
Brandy - "Lift her spirits"??!? Oh no, you don't need me and a make over, you need John C and his Ghost Hunter TAPS friends. Either that or it's a different kind of spirit and you need Calico and her Rolling Rock!!
In either case, Genie Spirit bows out on this one....
Dear G
My husband and I are trying to remodel our rec room in our basement...we've striped all the walls and ceiling and floor and now what to do? The room is a blank slate. The size of the room is 20' by 23' (460 sq ft) and we would like help with ideas for a seashore scheme. There's only one small window and not a lot of light..we're both retired and we are open for suggestions. Or to win the Free Room Makeover by Genevieve. Of course, we're in WV and maybe that's not your territory. BUT any ideas for wall covering, floor, and lighting would be helpful..
Thanks in advance for your consideration in our WISH for HELP in the Free Room Makeover. Love your new show. Brad and Donna Dodd of Fairmont WV
Brad and Donna Dodd I might be able to help with this one. First, remove the stipes you put on the walls cieling and floor. That's too much. A suggestion for the walls would be paint, floors go with carpet or hardwood and for lighting you might want to try lightbulbs. Now for the seashore theme. Since it's the basement you could flood it, add some sand, seashells and fish. Tada. Genie Sleeve, do you have a better idea?
Hi Genevieve,
I've watched you ever since you started on Trading Spaces and loved all of your projects.
Now I have one, am willing to pay for it to be done by you, just need help with the designing part.
We have a home with oak kitchen cabinets and we want to put wood floors in but can't figure out what kind of wood that would go with it. I want it to pop, but not poop... lol
please help.
Hope you come to our home, In Grants Pass Oregon... you'd love it here!
Cyndi Ogden 
Coralie 
Pop but not poop???!??
Oh you're gonna love this one.
Wait for it, Genie of the Culinary Sleeves has cooked up another one for you....
Cyndi -
Magic Pop! Get a Magic Pop maker, queue it up with as much as you possible can, and then let it keep popping until doomsday. You'll have a whole house filled with Magic Pop rice cakes. They may taste like saw dust, and that's about what you're going to get stepping over all of them on your new floor. But hey, the beige color will match the wood!!

I have a basement that needs help. We watched HGTV ten years ago and painted the walls green and white stripes as we couldn't afford to finish it off. You had on Tv to paint the concrete for a laundry room. Loved it for all these years,and the grandchildren called it Barneys room. They have out grown it and now we need an extra bedroom and bathroom down stairs for the children and grandchildren to use when they come to visit. The plumbing for a bath is in, but needs to be hooked up. We are in our 70's, and are still watching HGTV for hours a day. Love your programs.
Sincerely,
Gram
Hope the Photo worked, not too good at that

btownguy Oh, Geeeeeeenie Sleeeeeeeves... your attention is required for this poor misguided miscreant.
What's the deal with the basketball hoop? You'd have to be a magician to get a full-sized basketball between that and the ceiling joists...
That's not really their house. It's a display in IKEA.
"Oh fun, we get to go to grammy's and sleep in the basement...with the exposed live wires, bare ductwork, and off gassing from the i-joists. Grammy loves us so. Little Tommy just loves to swing from the live wires."
emaxxman Gram - I just love you. You're Barney lovers from the 70's? And you're time traveling into the future to get my advice?? And of all things you fixate on that horrible, awful HGTV thing?
Oh, no. This isn't that crap, this is Genie on Hickstown TV. And I know just how to fix things....
Have your kids get together down stairs and all hold hands in a circle. Start swinging your hands and sing - "I love you, you love me, screw that witch on HGTV. Help us out, with our dream, Satan put the hoop on the i-beam."
And magically a giant green and white striped lizard will appear, but do not be afraid. This is Can D. Stripe, a pre-historic dinosaur of ultimate retribution. The lizard will proceed to consume not only the hideous furniture, but also you and your husband. This is the town's punishment for violating code and getting live wires near a huge grounded piece of iron. Your children, your grandchildren, and the whole town will feel safer and live happily ever after without dangerous grandparents or the almost as deadly bedroom suite. Now lets all get together and sing another song....
It's either that or back to the 70's with you!!

Rebecka I have a house on a hill close to the Pacific Ocean. The house is two-story facing east. However, the cold ocean wind hits the back yard, so I need a ground level deck (maybe two levels) on the front of my house. I REALLY need help because the design must be artistic and clever - or it will look bad. Can you help? Can anyone there at HGTV? We have money to spend, but I don't trust most people not to mess up the front of my house.

Sorry. I already won the makeover. We turned the master bedroom into a Sonic restaurant.
btownguy - I'm 100% sure for positive absolutely without any doubts it was an Olive Garden in your master bedroom. So tell me, when does the Whole Foods store open now that we've confirmed it?
dear genevieve, my daughter, husband and triplet grandchildren haved lived with my husband and myself for 4 years. They have a house but are renting it because it needs alot of work. They are planning to move back in in the spring. I would love to have your help to may the house more of a home. It needs a lot help.

My name is Annette Ayers and I need your help in my kitchen!
I purchased my house 12 years ago while serving in the Navy. I've recently retired after serving 20 years of active duty. Moved back into my house and became an avid HGTV viewer and doer. I've redecorated every room in my house and love it! But when I attempted to redecorate the kitchen-nothing seemed to work at all! I have tried everything-kocked down a wall, hung new curtains, removed the breakfast bar, relocated a cabinet to another part of the kitchen and retiled the floor but now the kitchen looks worst than it did before I started. I know what I want my kitchen to look like and how I want it to function, but I need your help to bring my vision to fruition.
Please help!!!
Yours truely
Annette, aka Petty Officer Ayers
Annette Ayers Genie will you PLEASE look up your sleeves and tell this petty officer what she has won!!!!!!
Annette,
Send me $1000 for processing fee, and I will send you some information on what to do.
Well Patty Officer Ayers, you're in luck. No, those idiots on the TV you watch aren't going to help, *I* am. (well I call it help anyway) I know just *exactly* what you need.
Paint everything blue. And when I mean everything, I mean *everything*. Paint the floor blue, paint the ceiling blue, paint the fridge blue, pint the sink blue, paint the cat blue, even yourself. All Navy Blue. Then drop a huge boat anchor in the middle of the kitchen where that awful, awful wall and breakfast bar was. Get some good MDF and start building a boat around the anchor. Occasionally start to sing "Anchors Away". Your kitchen may still look like sin but if your lucky/unlucky/not sure/bi-curious/etc. the Village People may stop by. Oh, we're "In The Navy" now!!
[sigh] My job here is done. Over done perhaps. But still done.

Dear Genevieve.
We just need HELP !!!Plain and simple,my wife of 33 years has
Prkinsons and I been promising her,new carpet thru out the house and a new kitchen.She loves the open floor plan,it gives her more room to move around.I ''thought '' I did a good thing,when I ripped the carpet
out,we had picked and purchased the tile for almsot every room,I just don't know where to start,nor do I have the time.We bought this house 4 years ago.
Please help me suprise my wife with a beautiful floor and kitchen in time for the holidays,if not for our 34 Anniverary on April 15.
You have been her favorite ever since the show where neighbors switched houses and fixed them up.
Hope to hear from you soon.We live in Corpus Christi,Tx.
Sincerly,Pete V.
Pete Vargas Corpus Christi?? Open Floor Plan!!! Please, what are you messing with tile and the kitchen for?? Well has the Genie of the Ever Flowing Sleeves got *just* the thing for you......
[ever get the feeling of impending doom? no reason I ask, none at all... ]
Round and round the magic wand goes, and it blows and blows and blows...
Knock out all those walls, the hurricanes will do that anyway, and when I mean knock them down, I mean *ALL* of them, including the outside walls. You don't need anything but four corner pillars to hold up that flimsy roof. Don't know where to start? Simple. Have no where to begin.
Live in the world's largest patio, you won't need tile or anything! Replace any nice furniture with cheap green resin table and chairs and wicker that leaves a mark on your butt. (Hey, it's gonna match that horrid plastic poinsettia Christmas theme table cloth you already have)
Get rid of all the family pictures and replace them with lawn gnomes. (be afraid if your friends can't tell the difference) Pink flamingos and whirligigs in the living room, inside/outside who can tell the difference? Shower au naturel and let the neighbors talk.
Did I already say it blows?? My job here is done. (I can hope it's done can't I?? Please. Please say it's done. Please read even just one word of what's been posted. One. Just one. Is it too much to ask.)
Signed,

I read this thread the day it first came out in Dec '08, saw it wasn't anything I was interested in, so I never looked at it again until GC mentioned "Genie Sleeves" in the other thread today.
OMG - WTH was I missing?!!! I just spent the last 30 minutes reading it and this has got to be the funniest thread ever.

Great work Genie Sleeve!! :)
SueR Hello, I really need your help. I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder which requires me to have assistance ambulating. My job recently disability seperated me and my son and I are living with my mother who is retired. I have no income and can not get to the laundry room in the basement. Our family room needs a makeover and I would love to move the laundry room upstairs. I hate my 70 year old mother doing everything for me. Please help us with a free room makeover, anything you want to do would be a huge help....a blessing.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Genevieve,
My husband and I love your show and variety of colors and styles which go together so wonderfully and flowingly.You give knowledge and desire to try and incorporate a variety of colors, techniques, surfaces, textures so well. One of the shows you had was so special for me because it seemed so new, rare and unexpected. I loved it. You used a painting technique , which covered the previously white one with a special technique
using a variety of paint types, as I remember. The end result was fantastic and made a
low ceiling appear much higher, like an optimal illusion. You also matched the flowing curtains with a totally complimentary shade. On television it appeared that the ceiling was a shiny putter like color, but classy...the curtains, as we.., were so rich and complimentary to the rest of the room. In our case matching Knotty pine with the richness of granite for the bar, new flooring, new gas fireplace, and much more. (hopefully)
My husband has taught for thirty-four years and I have taught for thirty-nine years.
We faced reality, when the economy crashed and decided to make our home a place thst
we could once more appreciate since moving to the beach was no longer an option.
Nancy Artru Nancy - Finally someone I can deal with!! I'm just so thrilled you've "faced reality" instead of that "optimal illusion". Oh you formerly rich and complimentary people just rich and complimentary as the curtains and your golf putter. (and believe me, I think that's rich!) As for your unedited "letters" well let's just say it's no problem or my name isn't Genevieve!! (oops, did the "reality" bubble burst yet?)
As for your house, the Genie's wand goes round and round, be prepared......
Let's calmly take your room, and remove all the heavy, unneeded, sharp objects. There's some nice wall covering pads available from your local mXeXdXiXcXaXlX sXuXpXpXlXyX I mean home improvement story, get a nice strong security bar with double lock and key on the outside. Don't worry the dXoXcXtXoXrX I mean design consultant that visits you every day will administer some nice medication that will make you believe you have a putter in your hand and are golfing all day long. The putter might even be putty colored. (putty, the color is putty) Plus they'll give you some nice golfing attire. Never mind how the sleeves tie together - golf, your "reality" is all golf just like this is HGTV and I'm Genevieve.... And if you keep banging your head against the wall, not to worry we got that padding for you, remember?
Congratulations you're on "Reality TV". That's Genie Sleeve's reality for you anyway, my illusion is entirely optimal...
Signed
Genie of the Rubber Room Sleeves
[in all fairness she did actually correct "optimal illusion" to "optical illusion" even if the ceiling was still "putter" colored - but let's face it, there's something awfully familiar about *any* kind of "illusion" and this thread. Now what could it be??]
This thread is hilarious. Every time I read it, I laugh so hard I cry. GC, I don't know what you do in "real life" but your replies are AWESOME! So clever. :)
Genevieve, you are without a doubt the most talented, personable designer I have seen on HGTV. I would love to have a bathroom makeover. I would like to have a claw foot tub installed, with all the old time hardware. Also, I would like an old dresser made into a vanity with a crock style basin and a pitcher-pump style faucet. I have had a tub and a
dresser given to me. They both need some minor renovation. I simply do not have the money at this time, as I am on disability-but, I do have the dream! Seldom does one see any primitive style on HGTV. In fact, I guess I never have!! The only time I view the type of ideas I have are in various country magazines I subscribe to or pick up at a magazine rack. Surely, there are other viewers who would enjoy seeing a makeover such as this-one so totally different from the "norm". I have always liked country and now tend to appreciate primitive pieces even more. I am very new at computers, as is quite evident. There are no pictures to share with you. I could take some and land mail them, but I do not know how to send via computer. Thank-you for reading this and for being so enjoyable to watch on television. Your laugh is so contagious and delightful!
MARTHA PATE MORTHOLE Martha!! I'm so glad to hear from you and know that you and George have finally moved out of that old run down White House place, hopefully not back to that even worse outhouse in Virginia...
You want a makeover "out of the norm"? You just didn't read all of my work above did you?? (at least you got the very new to computers thing right)
Genie of the Country Bumpkin Sleeves has got just the ideas for you!! Why stop at the basin? Bull doze the entire house and make the world's largest Pickle Crock! Walls made of stoneware! You won't even miss that claw foot tub when the whole house is a huge tub. And who needs indoor plumbing when all the rain water collects inside anyway! Roof, what's a roof? Be careful if the neighbors start pumping in vinegar...
Sigh, who ever said my designs are a crock is right.

maria ranieri TAKE IT AWAY GENIE!!
I just have to laugh when i see this pop up!!Its teetering on annoying
GC. I really feel you missed your calling in life. Don't know what you really do for a living but these post replies from you are the funniest things I have read in a long time. Such a sense of humor!!!!

Dear Genevieve,
I need help...I have to change a 13 X 14 family room into a bedroom for my 17 year old niece and her two younger brothers. I know my neice should have her own room but that is not possible right now. Their mother was murdered two years ago, and her children chose to live with me and my family. I have three beds in this room but the boys have out grown their twin beds. My sister purchased this bed for my niece but I dont think I ever liked it...can you help me make this room as comfortable as possible?
Mrs. C Good Grief! If you search for Dear Genevieve, you are given at least 11 sites to go to. How on earth do people find US? I so want to email one of them, but my name is in my email address.
Umm, just wondering....how do boys "out grow" a twin bed?
I've been looking forward to seeing Genie today, but I have a feeling she will not touch the post right above.
....how do boys "out grow" a twin bed?
My boys outgrew them when they were 14 and 6'3" body had to curl up to sleep. LOL! Not sure what she is talking about.
Hahaha, yeah, I guess if they were REALLY tall, I can see that. Otherwise, the beds don't look babyish at all. (if that's what she was referring to)
SueR - I can think of a number of ways, but it's a family forum. I'd have to delete my own post. ;-)
Christine - "teetering on annoying"?? ??? That ship has long since sailed.
joyful - Thanks but my computer clients really disagree with my calling... ;-)
To everyone else, it's so heart warming/blood curdling/ambiguously defined emotions/you choose to see the Genie of Hideous Home Improvement/Karmic Hilarity/Ultimate Retribution has her fans. But I believe she's currently busy about to answer some requests/destroy some hopes/castrate some wild animals/practice unsafe home degradation. Good times for all.... ;-)
Oh my dearest dear deer Gabriele -
A free makeover?? You know better than that, this is Hackleburg you're in now!! I've got something much better than that in store for you - my magic wand is always waving. I hope it doesn't misfire yet again. ;-)
You have tree rooms? And a brig?? Is this Swiss Family Prison?? I believe I have something up my prestidigitative sleeves just to fit that. You need to adopt a family of wood peckers for a jail break. Leave crumbs outside the tree rooms and hopeful they'll drill you some holes to open up that dark and dingy dungeon of a brig. Don't forget to keep a good supply of rocks though. With the crumbs you may also attract small children in lederhosen. So if Hansl and Gretel show up, just throw the stones!!
Sigh. If I could only say my job here is done.
Signed,
Robert Louis Genie Slevenson
GC. Still think you missed your calling.....Just save all of this and put it in book form and guaranteed it will be a best seller... Still laughing.
Maria! How do you solve a problem like Maria??!?
The Genie knows! It might blow, but she does know...
If you're nothing but a sad face with formica, you need a happy face with asbestos!! No I really mean that. If you think formica is bad, replace it all with asbestos!! But not to worry, get out some yellow and black paint. Paint some nice upbeat faces. Now what could be so bad about that?? I know I can't think of anything. At the moment. Your oncologist may... But you've got stinking rotten patronizing smiley faces everywhere. So what could possibly go wrong??
Genie of the Fire Retardant Sleeves
joyful - I'm not so sure. At lunch and breakfast both, I've realized some jackwagon is probably going to bring this up at my funeral. It'll haunt me to the grave.
Mrs. C - You're a rare breed. The Genie sees the good in you and cannot think of a single thing that would be more comfortable for them. It may not be beautiful on the outside, but it is on the inside. Nothing you need to change. ;-)
Signed,
Genie who occasionally needs a day off Sleeves
GC, im with joyful on this one. You are a riot. I will preorder a book :-) Keep them coming!

Dear Genevieve, My Nmae Is MaryLee and Im wirting you too see if i can some how give my mom something for all she has done for my brother and i. She raised as a single mom went to school full time and worked two job. she finely has the home of her dreams how ever Not the Kitchen of her dreams. She has a old stly Home in Niagara Falls Ny . And she spends all her free time in the kitchen cooking for the family. I think If i had to do my moms Kitchen . I would like to see it more open to the living room and a iland so use kids and her 8 grandchildren can be around her. when she is cooking. Are story is a little diffrent then most my mother had it hard rasing us kids we were abused and she didnt know it and they put her in jail for someething she didnt do. So part of her life was taken away for no good reson so if us kids could give her something back this would be it her deam Kitchen thanks for your time and her are some of her pic of the kitchen she has now...... This Is her Terble Kitchen its yellow and red and had a white dish washer thats white and thr frige and stove are stanless stell....
MaryLee Hanna That fridge in that picture is probably worth more than everything in my kitchen combined, :o)
natalie catalan Genie: She really wants you to design her bedroom "and are basment " on your show..Well????
BECKY Wow, these requests are getting shorter and shorter. Not much for Genie to work with. What happened to all the big long sob stories?
Oh crap, it appears the Genie of the Multi-Delusional Sleeves is required once again. And again. And again. And yet again.
Oh MaryLee of the Stanless Stell - I take pity on you because my deceased grandmother Stell(a) was Stanless for many years as well. That is until my departed Uncle Stan joined her year before last. I bring you many greetings, and presents from beyond the grave. Well, actually all my presents have that undeadly ring to them. Anyway, that's some lovely wood I see in the background. Take it all down, but please, please, please recycle it into making several large barrels. You've been voted off the kitchen "iland" and into the barrel and over the Niagara and away from Grandma's house we go. Happy boating!
Natalie - You "are basment"? Does that mean you're from the Land of Basmati? Round and round the Genie wand goes - and when the smoke clears, your bedroom is full of rice! I hope you're a newlywed because that's gotta be a lot of rice...
Becky - Your wish is my every command, I'm at your Becky and Call. Well, something like that. Well, actually nothing at all like that but it sounded good. You have an office/gym/art room that's a foot by a foot and a half?? What's you're business? Video tapes of Herve Villechaize on a tread mill teaching you how to macrame?? You don't need a make over, you need shrinkage!! Poof!! The Genie turns you into a Lilliputian who can read the posts above. Feel to blame me, but at your size at least you won't be dangerous.
[Heavy Sigh] Somehow it just all seems to turn out in the end. Turn in circles. Out to be a disaster. End in ruins. Oh well, it's the Genie after all. My job is more than done...
Genie of the Sleeves Flapping in the Wind
Another job well done by our very own Genie.
BTW: I would almost pay to be a spelling/grammar mentor to MaryLee Hanna....no joke.
"These requests are getting shorter and shorter."
Aw, you knew the Lilliputians were coming. No Fair. Then again any comment by Genie is an attack by Lilliput. ;-)
GC: I'm wirting you too see
She worked two job
She has an old stly Home
This Is her Terble Kichen
I don't have the funds to be a secret millionaire, but I think I could manage tutoring in the deam kitchen.
GC--'er Genie of the Great Imagination....Me thinks I need a partner in this children's story writing. Good job!!!
joyful - You would want my retired Children's Librarian mother. Last week as she's leaving to go back to PA, she says "well it's been an adventure with Tigger & Sugar on a snowy day - sounds like the title of a children's book". I'm pushing for her to use the pen name "Grandma Tuna".
GC - you are too much!!
Could you possibly wave your magic wand and do over the bathroom in our basement? We call it the "dungeon toilet" for good reason. No women are allowed to see this bathroom, only men, who for some reason seem to love it. It's dark and scary, with only a tiny window letting light in from the outside world above. There is no place to put the bathroom tissue rolls, either.
Thanks so much.
Rebecka - Your bathroom is haunted by an evil mistress of the night who has more magic than I do. I can neither exorcise her, nor make men hate it. Sorry. By the way, what's that address again?? ;-)

Dear Genevieve,
My name is Jimmie Lee i think my husband and i are perfect for the free room makeover because we are living with my mother. we havent had the chance to get our own place we cant even give our room a makeover due to the fact that my husband is the only one working right now. i have been out of a job for about 4 months now. i really would love to lose the high school girl room look and get a young married couple look. my husband says u cant even tell that a man lives here. so please help me and husband out it would one less thing i would have to worry about. im pretty sure your wondering how long we have been married? we are coming up on a year in april. i would really love this t happen my husband would love to get a mokeover for our room. PLEASE PLEASE HELP US!!!!!
JIMMIE LEE MAGDALENO I know, I can hardly wait....LOL When I saw it come back up to the top I was hoping Genie had visited.
My heart just skipped a beat seeing this thread pop up.....can't wait. Please Genie of the ever-lasting sleeves please tell Jimmie Lee and Bobby Ray what they have won!
Hello JIMMIE LEE in Texas -
You'll do everything bigger down there, dontcha?? Well, maybe not quite everything. "im pretty sure your wondering" - That's for sure, but I have to stop you there. Believe me, how long you've been married is *not* exactly on all of our minds. Well Jimmie Lee, Bobby Ray, and Nama Numnuts that lives with you - I sure have a surprise.
That awful Homechannel wench is busy, you've got the Genie on the line here. Can't live with "high school girl room" but you can live with MIL in your drawers? And the Magic Wand will commence....
The "high school girl room" disappears and "high school boy room" takes over. A new set of posters adorns the room - a Ford Super Duty with Jegs stickers, Bobby Rahal in a Formula One, Daisy Duke leaning on the General Lee, and a White/Engvall/Foxworthy/Larry "Blue Collar Rides Again" poster signed "Dang, yous more redneck than us". A hairstylist awaits to make sure your mullets are in order. The pink bed sheets are replaced by Sesame Street bunk beds. The frilly lace curtains become Blue Clues. (now there's a real thought)
Another wave of the wand also turns your inlaws into Stiller & Meara. Because if there's one thing you need, it's Jewish sitcom parents. They will be escorting y'all to school everyday as well - you're all in the same grade. Happy Bar/Bat Mitzvah. That should be any day now. Any day.
Genie of the Mazel Freaking Tov
(well, at least I call it "luck")
Hello, my name is Cameron M. Himes. I am a tween girI am writing to you with a parent. I wanted to know if you could makeover my bedroom. I share my bedroom with my much younger little sister. As a tween girl this would be my dream to come makeover my room! My parents are okay with anything. Please email me if you could help or want more details.
Thank you and I hope to hear from you very soon-
Cameron M. Himes
Cameron himes I know we discussed your coming out of retirement, Genie. Feel sure you can handle this one..Go for it !!!!
This is McGruff the Crime Dog here. I'll be putting my paws on this make over at the Genie's request.
I'm sure glad you have a parent with you at the moment. This site has a minimum age requirement that you don't meet Cameron. This is a dangerous place without a parent there. It seems there are some minimum requirements your parents aren't aware of either... ;-)
But not to worry, McGruff is here.
We'll be redoing your room with McGruff's Top 10 Internet Rules for Tweens wallpaper. Not to worry about mom & dad either - we'll be doing half of their room over the *exact* same way. The other half with be done by my fellow canine in a Blues Clues theme. Do you think they will be able to find Blue?
Remember we all have to stick together to take a bite outta Crime!!
[paw print]
skylin skylin - "Us" your room?? One "us"ed room coming right up .....
Round and round the Genie's wand goes, and presto! An eight foot exacto knife!! All of "us" walls have been carved out into a silhouette of the Virginia Sky Line Drive. It does sadly resemble Joan Rivers face as well, come to think of it. Oh well, the knife will be left in your room just in case you'd like to look like Joan/your room/Nip & Tuck/you choose. Happy Self Origami.
Sigh, my job here is done. I thought. And then I really thought it was done. And then again. And again.
Genie of the Ginsu Sleeves
I really need your help my mom birthday is coming soon and I want to decorate her room but I never decorate in my life! I really need your help! she would died if you help me decorate her bedroom she has started decorate by herself but well its not that great. Please I really Really need your help!!!
Melina Nunez Make her room an aquarium, it is the rage this weekend. Hopefully she doesn't "died" by the idea.
Reggie Melina - "but well its not that great. " Excuse me?? X-a-freaking-cuse-a-me???
That's your momma Melina. The Genie of the Waterlogged Sleeves knows just what to give for a birthday present.... Round and round that wand goes, where it stops, well we all know it's not gonna be pretty.
The Genie wand turns you into an actually grateful daughter who kisses the ground dear mom walks on, darn well tells her that the room looks *gorgeous*, and doesn't need a single thing changed even if it's 100% hideous. You march right over there and tell her she's the best decorator the planet has ever known. Either that, or I grant Reggie's wish. (*and* we're all gonna tap on the glass...)
My aquatic job here is done.
Genie of the Poseidon Adventure Sleeves
Genie, you're amazing!!!
Maybe you can help us out too. Some creep broke into our Lounge and changed it to what looks to be a strip club! Now it was all fun and games for the first few minutes, but turned tragic when Banana Boy slipped on his own peel and went flying off the stage! Poor thing will never be the same again.
So I ask you Genie to please lend us a wand and change our wonderful Lounge back to the way it was. (I don't think it was doing any good for the health of den mother anyway.)
Thanks Genie, you're the bestest!!!! :)
Melina cave woman. Maybe we decorate room as upscale cave? We draw birthday sabertooth tiger on cave wall and compliment with mammoth tusk light fixture. Add dino dung accent pillow to excite man in cave.
Lord love a duck. I think some of the people who are looking for help are ones who are liking Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. I'm sorry to hijack and I almost deleted....but I couldn't help myself. Genie: i don't know how you keep doing this. You're amazing, but these people don't deserve you.
SueR - Someone slipped their own banana and made a mess?? Very eeeww. Sounds like one wand too many, and mine would only complicate the issue. Better duck before I turn someone into a mop to clean up the mess. ;-)
Genie of the Skeeved Out Sleeves
Hello there!! Greetings from the Robinson's. I hope I am writing to someone in regards to our poor neglected home. My husband owns a towing service, so if he is not working or working on the trucks, then he is eating or sleeping. Our home was built in the 70's, so it has the yellow counter tops in the kitchen and the kitchen is so small that its not even funny because I believe this once was a summer house at one time. I have absolutely no decorating skills what so ever, so I'm almost embarrassed to live here. It could be such an adorable house!! It has an acre of property (I love that) with a pool, but it lacks pizaz!! This house just has so much darn potential, but we don't have the time or money to put into it. Trust me, this would be a perfect house for your show. Everyone that comes over practicly tell me so. Oh and I forgot to mention, most of the rooms still has the popcorn ceilings. Wah!!!! Thanks for such a cool show!!!!!! Kimberly and Kevin Robinson
Kimberly Gotta give credit where its due girls! Can't possibly win without trying! Now, lets see how this goes for her and her family....
"Holding Breath"
CARNi Hey Genvieve, I'd like a full-blown photographer's editing studio complete with a 54" hd plasma monitor and throw in an old- fashioned dark room on the side please in case I ever decide to get into large-format landscape photography and want to process the images myself.
Ok?
Kimberly,
I will pass your letter on, as I have the previously submitted letters to my good friend Gena. She wants me to tell all her viewers, thanks for all the letters. Gena and myself, will be sitting down soon, maybe at the Sub Shack here in Hackettstown, to review all the letters that were submitted, and will get back to you soon. Thanks for your interest.
Unless I'm mistaken, out of all these people who have mistakenly posted here, no one has ever come back onto this thread and stated (publically) that they realized they made a mistake.
You'd think someone would go back to their post to see if anything came of their 'request'.
That's a good point Rich. It may be possible that they think they are just entering a contest by posting here and will hear back by email if they will.
It does show how clueless so many are in this world though. LOL
Kimberly - Popcorn Ceilings!! The Genie of the Early 70's has just the "fix" to match your Early 70's decor - I wave the magic wand and send the Swedish Chef to install "Hot Butter - Popcorn":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvDvTnTGjgQ
Batgirl - "Dark Room"?? You got it - with a wave of the magic wand all your rooms have been painted jet black. Plain jet black, not one single hit of color. And not just the walls, the whole room - all the furniture, all the fixtures, all the pets, everything! We've taken the liberty of also filling in any doors or windows. You want dark, you got it. Complete and total darkness ready for an old fashioned good time... You may have trouble getting in the house though without any doors or windows. Oh well, minor inconveniences.
[sigh] My job here once again is "done". (!?!)
The Genie
Rich/Calico - It's actually worse than that. Look above and see that there was once someone who did actually come back and look. But they *still* didn't get it and argued they did deserve the makeover after all.
Nuts.
Rebecka - I believe the Genie would love to, but so many people keep making special requests. And oh how special they are... ;-)
FYI... two years ago we made it to the final round of interviews and photo sumbissions for this show. we were rejected because we would not exceed the budget we had set to contribute to the renovation. so, be informed before you sign on ... they do expect you to put out cash.
Gen3Townie Dear Genevieve,
I have been watching your shows quite regularly and love how you put in personal touches that relate to the house owners and their needs. My daughter has been after me to do up her room. Times are bad and hoping you could help out.
In fact, lots need to be done yet like the basement is a huge project by itself too. So hope we could be one of the lucky ones to have you decorate my daughter's room. Thanks
Dru Khemlani "personal touches"?? Sounds a little perverted to me! I don't think Genie swings that way! ;)
youngnfresh Dru - Have I got a Mission Impossible for you. We're gonna "do up her room" for sure. Do it up SKY HIGH!!!
[cue the music........]
And the Camo guy is off running into the building, close up of the door lock being picked... Crawling inside he finds the room with the pink auto Corvette, removes the C4 from his backup pack and attaches the fuse. Setting the timer he dives out the break away glass window... Switch to outside camera. BBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
Congratulations to all you winners out there!
But wait, the room is gone but Barbie drove off? Not to worry, camo guy stuffed semtex in the 'Vette:

Genie "Paris" Sleeves
dear genevieve, i'm living in el paso texas til my son comes home from iraq. my husband and i left our home in utah to help our daughter in law and 4 kids while he is serving others. my husband retired early to do this for them. at home we have the most ackward family room. we have a fireplace that doesn't work. but the crazy thing that is weird but dangerous is the "pit" that is some kind of decorating thing by the fireplace. i have no way to show u. but believe me you have never seen this kind of design before. i would love u to makeover this odd family room and surprise my very unselfish husband who has always put everyone ahead of himself. thanks so much for even having this place to share, colleen
colleen johnstun I swear I want to do an Archie Bunker and put a gun to my head.
Worst, these people may vote in presidential elections. (For you, Calico, one great big SIGH!)
Listen here all applicants - Genevieve is busy planning my photography studio remodeling/makeover. You won't be hearing from her, because she's way too busy planning my fabulous new room. Please don't try to butt ahead. We'll all let you know when she will have time to consider new applications. Thank you.
Dear Genevieve,
My wife and I worked very hard (no contractors...just our own elbow grease) to finish our basement for our two young children, and we found out we have vinyl asbestos tiles down there and water that gets in with heavy rains. We would love to finish our basement properly so that we can sleep at night knowing that our children can play in a safe and healthy room.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Dylan There's nothing up the Genie's sleeve:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRW7pITY5Cg
Good Grief? Are we calling in Charlie Brown to consult on the project? Sounds wishy washy to me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS3WearGUzA
But have no fear, the Genie will make it all clear. (as mud)
Dylan - Sorry for the momentary lapse, never mind those others, The Genie fixes all. Permanently. Maybe not quite the way you envisioned. But then again, it's free. So you've got grease? In the basement? And still not waterproof? Sounds like you just didn't use enough of it. Presto! Your Home Makeover Genie fills the basement with a six inch layer of industrial lithium grease. If it doesn't keep the water out, a little may make the voices in the head stop too. And just to make sure your kids are all having fun, we've delivered 9 pigs in a poke to liven it up. They're slippery suckers so do try to hold on tight.
Play. Safe. Healthy. At least one out of three isn't bad for the Genie. Well sort of one. If they're lucky. Actually zero is looking just fine, right?
Signed,
Genie of the elbow greased Pig
I think Dylan's and the ones where the poster does not specify where they live, nor put their first and last name are just (busting our chops) continuing the fun of this thread. Dylan who: Sprouse?, Mcdermott?,Ratigan?, Marshall? (last one is a joke). Or at least, I hope I am right, and people can't be this............ (you fill in the blank) lol
