Tbf she had a cheek tagging farrow and ball in the first place when she used to get her paint colour matched from a cheaper place!

Yeah I’m sure she used to colour match it on Decorating Centre online and get Leyland Trade sample pots and put them in to smaller “Charlotte Valentine Interiors” pots
secondhand embarrassment.
Why did she seem surprised the paint looked different in a different room? I’m pretty sure her 1 weekend course would have covered the difference lighting and position can make to the colour choice of a room. Who doesn’t search it onto a4 paper and have them on each different wall to see what it’s like in different lights, times etc.
Her comments about budgets are so contradictory and I expect she’s isolated herself from a number of big, decent accounts who have saved and are doing their renovations correctly. They will have also planned these for months if not years, will have got all the trades booked (it shouldn’t be a shock at any point that you have to sometimes wait months for decent workers to have availability) so can actually treat it like a project and get it done in a certain amount of time.
Glad to hear she won’t be getting more free flooring. I know a friend who did message them at the time to say she was disappointed they were giving freebies to an Insta account instead of helping out someone else more in need. Sounds like maybe getting this kind of feedback (and seeing the poor quality advertisement that was their ‘reward’) actually made them realise not all publicity is good publicity

That front door looks awful.
Unless it was unsafe or badly damaged the last thing on my mind when I moved house would be the front door!
She also has big plans for that tiled floor. Is that another ‘sophisticated Lino’ incoming.
It’s either that or painting the existing tiles which I’ve seen these so called ‘Insta interior designers’ are renowned for

She's going to paint and then stencil that floor for definite
Also the log burner is way too big for that fireplace - it’s basically touching the wall each side! Another rushed job - others would have got the fireplace rebuilt, plastered (because who wants exposed orange brick) and then put the beam in….

That fireplace wall is bleeping awful. Like previous poster said, re plaster the whole room. Get rid of that bleeping ugly dado rail. Get a real log burner. Ffs do it properly.
We have lived in our doer upper for 4 years, we are still trudging through. We lived with our crappy front door right up until last month when my husband managed to get one for free, because it wasn't an important job and we couldn't spare the money. Bodge Lodge is 100% correct. She is a disgrace. I'm glad the floor company didn't give her more freebies. She deserves nothing.

If this is forever home as she would have to remove parents to. What’s the rush. Just a little build hasn’t touched hers !
The bleeping cheek of her saying the previous owners bodged the interiors 
coming from the bleeping queen of budge 
piss of miss piggy, and take Kermit Joe with you 
coming from the bleeping queen of budge piss of miss piggy, and take Kermit Joe with you How can you call yourself an interior designer, and then leave gaps like this at the top of the door? Has she never heard of filler or caulk?
Why bother caulking when youve got a bumblebee knocker.
Polishing a turd springs to mind

And paint on the glass. I know she said she scrapes it off with a blade, but surely you’d do that before moving on to the knocker?
Agreed!! I had mine installed professionally and he talked me through all the ins and outs before he agreed to installing it. The brick thing, she’s absolutely following the Hinch creature! Then the house will have panelling throughout and the tv room (like Hinch) will be a cosy dark room set up with snacks…….
How much land does she have? Did anyone catch the house listing
Just watched todays posts and realised we've not had any 6am dog walk montages recently... then thought bet the dogs don't get proper walks now they've got a big garden. Lazy arse will be too busy paining in that god awful overalls to take them on proper walks to get the exercise and mental stimulation that they need and will just assume that letting them into the big garden will be enough!
