Anyone watching the Great Interior Design Challenge?

It's a hoot , everyone is so full of themselves.

Day 2 and no grey yet

The general scheme is dull though. He was hampered by keeping their crappy couches though.

Not sure about the carpet-tile hexagons, but that room is sure an improvement on the waiting-room ambience of the before version.

It was a bleak showing for me tonight.

thought Kelly not Fiona should have gone through.

I thought those shelves that Fiona's owners were so obsessed with were bloody awful. They really wound have hampered her ability to do anything with the room if they had insisted on keeping them.

I was excited about this challenge as I live in Edinburgh, have lived in a cool tenement flat, and wanted to see them do something beautiful with them so I was disappointed.

I like Fiona so hope she wins.

I love the presenter, Sophie's different earrings.
In fact I think she has great fashion style.
Perhaps this post should be in Style and Beauty

Only caught up with the last one. Now why didn't the shelf family say in their brief that they wanted them untouched? Instead of waiting until the poor woman had designed and bought new stuff?
They were only bits of wood on crappy brackets anyway.

How big is Fionas house!?

I want that kitchen. Sans the clutter, of course.

I think that was Fiona in the client's house, not at home?

Oh was it?
Martins builder is lovely.

I love Fiona's rooms and Martin's kitchen apart from the stupid light.

Bah. Wrong decision.

I agree, Fiona should have won. Martins, kitchen was lovely, though much smaller than Fionas and he didn't finish the bedroom.

I really thought Fiona would win ! I guess because Martin designed more of his own products. ..

I liked both of them. I agree that Martin should have won- Fiona's fatal error was the dado rail.

How unfair, though, that Fiona lost so much time by having to clear out that nightmare of a kitchen. How on earth would her client have kept anything even remotely clean with all that clutter? Just bonkers!

i was sad it was not fiona, although martin had some good design tricks

did you see in fiona's kitchen the man had about 7 Fray Bentos tins

Wasn't Martin's decorator a sweetheart? Calming him down when he was getting all hissy about the mirrored wardrobes

I thought he was his "partner"

Yes LOL he was his partner !! I reckon that for people and organisational skills alone, Fiona should've won.

Though I'm not sure that living with a dark blue kitchen would've pleased me. I liked the wallpaper she used in the sitting room.

exactly, Fiona was unbelievable calm wasnt she. and i loved her rooms. although i grudgingly admit to liking his too, apart from the sitting room colour scheme. i liked the mirror and half table, I hope the children dont break it!

Yes R4roger I was wondering how he fixed that half table to the mirror, was it super glue? As you say, I think his design wasn't child friendly enough.

Oh what a shame, I would have booked Mr Lovely Decorator . Glad he's got such a supportive partner though.
