Crystal Bailey #2

[J0J0]

With a normal interior design project that is professionally executed the planning and ordering process can take anywhere from months to years, depending on the size of the project. The install portion usually takes about week, give or take, again depending on the size of the job. If a designer is being adequately compensated they have included in the budget the cost to hire whatever staff they need to help them execute the install - assistants, moving crews, handymen, cleaners etc.

All I can figure is that she takes on these projects either for free or is paid very little to do them. Hence, can’t afford to pay helpers. As far as the expedited timelines, some of her projects seem to me like maybe the client wasn’t even planning on hiring a designer but Crystal pitched it to them - as in, hey, let me help you out with some styling in exchange for a place to stay for a little while, or letting me film it for content, etc. Her last minute shopping sprees the day before or morning of tells me she either is a really shit planner or she has no place to store the product she is going to be installing so doesn’t purchase in advance. Again, highly unprofessional and speaks to a lack of funding. On actual design projects you couldn’t get away with that because you would be expected to order the furnishings/accessories/window coverings/art/lamps/rugs well in advance and have them waiting to go in during the install. You would never just wing it and wait and see what Ikea or the hardware store has in stock.

Yikes. I feel bad for the owners watching it unfold knowing it will be very costly to try and fix.

Is that a getting ready to sell styled home? It’s so staged and blah. I know those fashion house books are expensive but I think they look tacky. Books in your home should be what you are actually going to read, not just props. I actually didn’t realise people were still doing that (styling with designer books), it just screams 2020 Pinterest.
soooo did her off the shelf curtains make it into this place?

I don't think it's a ready to sell home since she films herself picking up off the floor & folding this guy's clothes (ewww) & putting them in these cheap looking containers that are so deep she has to pull them all the way out of their cubbyhole to even peek inside. Twenty bucks they'll be back on the floor in a minute. And that home office desk for a guy is AWFUL, in my opinion. Not very macho/male looking at all. But hey, what do I know? I don't watch YouTube videos & call myself an interior designer.

 

[EveryDaysASoulDay]

Has she gone into that junk shop with no shoes on?

She sure did.

 

[Luvnaps]

Shame on her for filming her friend's young child in just her diaper, full frontal view of her naked body. Doesn't she know pedophiles get off on this kind of stuff?!

I can understand filming the joint birthday party but filming while shopping and in the movie theater is ridiculous Crystal! Here's a new concept for you: Just be in the moment. Pretend it's the 1800's before smartphones & videotaping!

I was looking for a photo on the prior Lie-la thread during the DingDong & Crystal moving in period & came across this comment from last May by @showinguphere. She definitely has a pattern of this.

Once again- you couldn’t script this shit.
Soon to be ex-flat mate is back from her 1 month Instagram break after 6 days!! Not that she hasn’t been posting daily ???? But so good she’s back after her fake news month off! Bring on the trip back home to Byron not Byron

 

[EveryDaysASoulDay]

It is shocking. I’m gobsmacked that she was allowed full custody of her sons, or at least extended custody, whatever the actual truth is. She many finally have a place of her own to live and a somewhat reliable income but surely those can’t be the only factors the fathers or family courts are considering, especially given her history of mental illness. In the short time I’ve been following her (7 months) she has had a marked decline.

May I ask, @Melymoo, what the story was in the community about the day she says she “lost every” and the backstory to her relinquishing her kids?

Now that you mention Sins of a Mother - fuck. It was practically the same scenario.

 

[Justbeige]

I think she just has custody over the holidays and not permanent custody.
And that rant. She can see it in their eyes. The brother had a picture of a gun on his instagram, therefore that was the gun he used. Omg, I can't believe this idiot.

 

[EveryDaysASoulDay]

Today was the hardest she's ever had.

Says she feels like she took several kicks to the gut. I wonder what she’s eluding to? Surely not just a long day of slapping white paint everywhere, she does that in her sleep.

Custody? Shop lease? Those police she said where on her doorstep constantly earlier this year?

 

[Luvnaps]

That looks like shit. As for the painting. Am I the only person that thinks it looks terrible? If I went to a cafe/restaurant and it was painted like that I would be wondering why they didn't finish painting.

Nope you're not the only one! Everytime she'd post a story & I'd see the unfinished sections, I'd think the same thing! Is she going to leave it like that?!! ‍

 

[Luvnaps]

I did a walk by but couldn’t see the boat from outside. Struggling to see a fish.

SOOOOO BAD!!! And what the hell did she do to that table??!!

No mention or tag of Crystal on the post.
interesting.
What happened to Lorna?

I think it's quite telling they didn't even thank her publicly!!

 

[Stay Classy]

Yes summer holidays, NSW public schools go back end of January.

Would the older boy be starting high school this year?

 

[Deirdre Chambers]

She missed one of the most important areas of a woman’s life, though.
It’s telling that this doesn’t even cross her mind as a priority …

You win the internet today!

 

[EveryDaysASoulDay]

I came across this the other day. Anything look familiar? Funny how she didn’t mention anything about painting 10,000 fish into the walls at the Fern St Eatery Café back in 2017.

 

[accountaNILity]

Hey Crystal while your here can you please let me know if you actually went to the extent of putting your world famous Bunnings curtains up in a random air bnb that you stayed at reecently. Before and after. Just want to know the thought process

 

[Luvnaps]

What is she talking about?! "Has been such a talked about space all over the country". If that were the case, wouldn't it have been easier to find a buyer??

 

[emmygluewho]

Exactly. First she said she was taking a social media break for the entire month of January & we'd see her again in Feb. Then 15 seconds later she contradicts herself & says she'll still be posting the design tips. Hey Crystal, a social media break means NO POSTING ANYTHING!!!

She just doesn’t have it in her. And quit saying you "lost a friend". If you didn’t hang out with him away from the bar where he worked, he's an acquaintance only!

The fact she thinks she even has 'design tips' is fucking sensational.

Go paint a fish you manic, jobless dogshit mother.

 

[Luvnaps]

She honestly believes this??

 

[BasicBoganBaes]

17 present

 

[ohmybortch]

Yes! Where is the dogggg????

 

[CurlyHairedPsychic]

But it's not her. It's Jezabel and the dark spirits.

It’s all really concerning.

 

[EveryDaysASoulDay]

Omg- I am cracking up.
Do we think she is actually ok?
This is so weird- even for crystal. Signs from above and painting 5000 invisible fish.

Two options here.

She’s either:
A.) not even remotely o.k.
-or-
B.) taking the piss out of tattlers
