What is their obsession with feature walls? Can these "interior designers" not come up with anything better?? And why do they want to make bedrooms look like hotel rooms? I don't want to live in a hotel!

Okay - rant over!

Couldn't agree more!

it's quick and easy to make a big impact change.

I never understand why anyone would want to inflict such crap decorating on their friends/family. Even from the end of a camera lens I can see how shit the paintwork is. There's a reason you should take your time painting/papering etc.

I would really love to see a close up inspection of the work after 60 mins. Haven't really watched it much over the last couple of years, has anyone actually hated the make-over yet or is it still all gushy?

Are you watching now? That red room is so awful.
And the blue room - the walls are lumpy!

I saw one the other day with the living room decorated in bright yellow and black stripes. It was like a bumblebee had been plastered to the wall.

The owner said they loved it - through a very false smile. It was quite obvious they hated it and wanted to paint it back.

Are they still painting over patterned wallpaper?

headfairy · 23/06/2011 14:38

I am watching now... those panels are quite clearly to hide shoddy paint work. And they always trample paint on the carpet.

manchurian · 23/06/2011 14:38

It isn't even a nice red. It's horrid.

What on earth is that silvery dressing table??

have just turned over - oh dear lord shes actually putting nipple tassels on the wall!!Is it a brothel this week?

headfairy · 23/06/2011 14:39

urgh, that red room looks like the waiting room in a brothel (not that I've been to many mind :o)

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/06/2011 14:40

It IS like a brothel! A brothel decorated by a very angry person with a credit card and a catalogue.

Awomancalledhorse · 23/06/2011 14:42

Great. You've all got me watching it now Angry.

FriskyMare · 23/06/2011 14:43

Ha ha, can't wait to see the reaction!

manchurian · 23/06/2011 14:45

At least the red walls will cover the designer's blood after the owner attacks her for those atrocious walls.

Bah, she clearly expected them to be there. Not an iota of surprise.

But am sure she WILL be surprised when she seems the Red Room of Prossie.

FriskyMare · 23/06/2011 14:45

Have not seen the red walls yet!

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/06/2011 14:45

seems SEES

headfairy · 23/06/2011 14:46

hazel, that's because it was the 4th take of that shot!

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/06/2011 14:46

Frisky, it's not just the walls - it is the whole 'bloody' room!

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/06/2011 14:47

Blush headfairy - that does makes sense...!

headfairy · 23/06/2011 14:47

urgh, that study is so... bitty. there's not one thing that pulls it all together.

Awomancalledhorse · 23/06/2011 14:47

Wow, that flower room is awful! The photo mural doesn't fit the wall properly.

headfairy · 23/06/2011 14:48

she looks deeply unimpressed with that spring meadow mural!

HazeltheMcWitch · 23/06/2011 14:49

Lumpy, bumpy mural that no camera angle can disguise. But still not as lumpy as the Blue Room!

manchurian · 23/06/2011 14:49

She has even put a red sofa in that room. This woman is obviously OBSESSED.
