Anyone watching George Clarke's Old House New Home?

[WashboardAnkles]

Argh!!!! It's driving me mad. What is with all the dark, dark walls everywhere, whole rooms reduced to caves?!
Oh and the museum-seque recreation of the period rooms. Pah.
The structural stuff is great but the decorating

[wobblywonderwoman]

I watch it. They do use a strange mix of dark colours but I do like George in this programme. I don't usually. Bring back Sarah Beeny

I didn't enjoy this offering from George. Love the one where he follows people on their bigger projects though. He's an architect so I don't think the decorating concentration of this programme really suited him. Hated the style of those beautiful old houses.

I live in a victorian building.
anytime someone (usually a builder) says 'original to the house' I get a bad itch.
there is a reason drafty fireplaces were covered up or replaced with better heating sources. and upvc double/triple glasing is a good thing!

Oh, I love George and thanks, as I have just watched these because of this thread!

Did anyone see the first episode, he made a cottage in Devon so lovely for a girl who had quite clearly had a tragedy recently. He did a really good job I thought and seemed to really care.

Spot on about the museum esque quality of some of the buildings he does though. Stuffed birds anyone?

I love the dark walls - my dressing room is black and looks brilliant - at least i love it anyway

[Gatekeeper]

I hated the one he did with the flat in St Leonard's...it was so bloody dark that you couldn't see the rooms properly

[Cherrypie32]

Looking forward to seeing what he does with this Art Deco house (on catch up) what an amazing house in its day.

[danTDM]

Fantastic transformation. Amazing house and lucky couple.

[dollylucy]

Loved the Art Deco transformation

[Cherrypie32]

Wasn't keen on the pink, green, stripe ceiling decor but an amazing house transformation in a dream location.

[Gatekeeper]

not overkeen on some of the internal decoration but I thought the exterior was fabulous. I think they should have reinstated the rails above the front door though

[Cherrypie32]

The hall was my favourite part!

[ppeatfruit]

Oh I only watched the art deco house , it was fabulous, the walk across that bridge to it would've done my head in though .

I love his understated "The last owners were insensitive" They had murdered a beautiful house!!!!
