I think Nate's decorating is gorgeous but, for those of us who love country ,I would like an apology. Has he ever looked at Country Living Magazine, Country Sampler, Cottage Living Magazine ,Etc.! I'm tired of decorators who put country down. Our decorating style is beautiful and there are alot of us out there. Just check out some of the cottage home blogs! Yes, some things get out dated, but many things are timeless -roosters for one. I would like to be given the applause do for the down home, warm, inviting country homes we actually live in.

Could Nate work any harder to make certain no one missed that he was at all times wearing Christian Loubloutin boots? Whether seated or standing, he appeared to be obsessed with making certain that the soles were visible on camera. Yuck! How childish! We KNOW they are affordable to you.... grow up! Let us be impressed by your talents - not your possessions!

I doubt this message will be posted.

On the kitchen makeover it showed an iPod/TV type thing that is mounted under the kitchen cabinet. The homeowner absolutely loved it and freaked out when she saw it. Does anyone know what this gadget is or where I can buy it? They only showed it for a second on the segment, and I can't find it on this website.

With his talent and lifestyle, he better protect his tunnel by rapping it up or else he won't be wearing those Christian Loubloutin boots!

Wasn't that a flat screen television that the owner just loved?

Once again, Ms. Winfrey seems less engaging if not downright uncomfortable with "Black" guests. (Keith and Tonya seemed super "assimilated" yet still lively, but that isn't enough...?) I feel Ms. Winfrey acts in an "old" way of making "whites" feel super comfortable and loved, even--is this what (still) needs to be done? I think "whites" need to get over themselves and stop "requiring" this sort of near adulation to participate. Ms. Winfrey, and many others are in a tough spot, to be sure, and I honestly vacillate between admiration of Ms. Winfrey and deep, nagging discomfort while watching her...

I am so desperately in a time warp we recently purchased a 1973 house because it was what we could afford, but at the present we cannot afford to update it! everything in the house is original right down to the ugly brown carpeting and yellow lenolium, and pea green tiled bathroom !

It is so bad i am embarrassed for anyone to come to my house, the only thing new in the house is the appliances in the kitchen which we had to purchase because there was none when we bought the house!

Please help Nate we definately need a makeover on anything!!

These people don't need a make over, they can easily afford one! Come on, send Nate to Brooklyn not Hollywood!

I totally agree. Help someone who can't afford a decorator. But as usual, the rich get it all.

The worst show ever. Why do we want to see wealthy people get a house make-over??

Thank goodness for the remote , I wasn't stuck with Oprah. I usually love her shows.

I watched todays show and laughed!!! I would have to wear a paper bag over my head with a make over, I am so ashamed. He took a 1960's kitchen and brought it into the day. I have a stove hood that has Martha Washington emblazoned across it, it has to be by her own hand, my house was built in the 1950 time. My TV has been in the same spot for 36 years because of reception in the beginning, now it's just there! My kitchen is the pits, so small to me it's a postage stamp with the Liberty Bell that has a clapper screaming ..."GIVE ME ROOM!" My patio looks like a map of the US with state border lines, so many cracks to represent the states, even foilage in the cracks to show Redwoods from sand dunes. I was 21 when I bought this house after my husband died, I had 2 children under the age of 2 (Irish Twins) it was my "Wow" moment. Now it is my heart break vision, I can't convince my husband that it needs to be updated, so I quit cooking for him because I hate my kitchen and the lack of space. I feel as if I have fallen into a time lapse and can't get out. If I can wear the paer sack I would love a date with NATE!!!!!!!

We are seniors on a fixed income and we can not afford to update our kitchen. If Nate ever comes to Las vegas please ask him to consider coming to my house. Thank you BJLas Vegas
