Interior Design Masters #2

[OatMatchaLatte]

I love George Clarke, too. Both Amazing Spaces (there's a new series on CH4 at the mo') and Old House New Home. The Americana series he did was great, too, although it was more about architecture and buildings than interiors. Love a bit of Clarkey

Why do they all have to hug eachother all the time, I can't imagine going into work and having to hug everyone at the end of the day ughhhhhh (I realise I sound very very old).

And if anyone asked me to give a "whoop whoop", well.....

I'm sure i actually physically pulled back in my chair at one point as there was so much of it going on & I felt so uncomfortable just watching!

What's this series been like up to now?
I got half way through the last series and turned it off. Just didn't like the people.

I know it became a joke that she uses a lot of green, but she uses a lot of orange as well and I think that’s why I’ve never clicked with her designs because I hate orange

I’m sad Ben with his lovely blue eyes has gone home

Was he the tattooed royal family obsessed guy?

 

[boatofbubbles]

I hope one of those boxes has toilets in

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. All I could think was I couldn't go all day without the toilet

Anyone else going to watch the Celeb version tonight?

Can’t watch it live but will definitely watch it on catch up, hope it’s good!

 

[Jelly Bean]

I hate lots of Sophie's already.

I sometimes think of the one who was kicked off first. He was literally about the only one who thought of practicalities and storage.
And yet Emmely got through who put the kitchen so it blocked the whole bloody view

Yeah I didn't think his had anything really wrong with it. Compared to the hideous plastic flowers, the animal patterns, weird paper mache and placement. Poor guy.

 

[BearOnChair]

I don't like the corporate box weeks in any of the past series... Not folding out much hope for this week. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised!

Is that the one with Banjo? Loved the Scottish Homes of the Year.

Yes! I saw it on his Instagram. Such a lovely cosy show I must watch Scottish Homes of the Year too.

Argh Craig. Stumbled at the final hurdle. That downstairs space was exactly where his skill at a sort of cosy 50s speakeasy would have been perfect.
I am utterly baffled John has made it this far. Baffled. Not on this week's but generally.
Rita's was good and I loved the concept but I didn't like the idea of a VIP area tbh. Why? In a small comedy club. Seems a bit wanky.
And a bit unfair Craig had two areas over different floors to deal with unlike the others.
But on tonight's Craig had to go sadly.

I think they all had the performance area and a bar area to transform, just configured differently. In terms of floor space I imagine it worked out about even and they all had some challenges to overcome: John had the very tall ceilings and need to keep the link to the history of the building, Rita had very low ceilings and the strange shaped room, Craig had space over 2 levels to unite.

Two of them said "I used AI for this" and nobody really batted much of an eyelid - the royal obsessive for his King and Queen artworks in the castle hotel, and Ajeet with his heron artwork. Alan Carr made some jokes about how he can't be replaced with AI to Ajeet but there was no pushback on it. I know people that seem to bloody love using it with no thought of consequences.

Aaah i missed that. I thought AI had told them how to layout the apartment and suggested zoning and colours and furniture etc. i guess using an image isn't THAT bad and bound to happen.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Final just starting now. C'mon Rita.

I missed the beginning (the dog was outside vomiting and required an audience) and John's overall idea, but I absolutely love Rita's so far. Real cosy National Trust cottage vibes - which I do love.

Has anybody been to Port Merion? I haven't and it looks lovely but is it really really busy?

 

[thegirlscout]

I want all the handsome tradies to help me with my personal renovation projects

I want them because they show up. So many tradies I’ve tried to employ just ghost me or I have to continually chase them up. It’s a nightmare!
