That really is orange.
Did a lorry load of orangina tip over in the French château?

I do love the colours of the cushions with that of the sofa.

Stratter5 · 01/03/2016 19:52

Blimey Slummy, are you still living in all that orange? And how on earth does your DH fit on that sofa?

dillite · 01/03/2016 19:53

Look at the instant Peter Andre tans on Mrs and Mr Slummy!

TheSpottedZebra · 01/03/2016 19:53

Oh, we Brits are so very polite.

extralemonylemoncake · 01/03/2016 19:53

Despite all the orange Sarah's is the best by far! So I suppose it could have been worse for Slummy.

Johnny5isAlive · 01/03/2016 19:54

I liked it slummy

GrouchyKiwi · 01/03/2016 19:54

I could not live in it, but that orange room actually looks incredible.

What is it like to live in, Slummy? Does it give you a headache at all?

Sarah's my pick to win now.

GetSchwifty · 01/03/2016 19:54

I think frankie needs to go

extralemonylemoncake · 01/03/2016 19:55

Have you redecorated yet, Slummy?

DoreenLethal · 01/03/2016 19:55

Give me an O - oh
Give me an R - my eyes
Give me an A - AARRGGHH
Give me an N - ibuprofen anyone
Give me a G - what's that now?
Give me an E - Ok that is enough, where's the real room, you cannot be - oh you are.

CatsCantFlyFast · 01/03/2016 19:56

WHAT???!!!

GrouchyKiwi · 01/03/2016 19:57

Well. That's a slightly surprising result.

dillite · 01/03/2016 19:57

Oh no. Not Frankie!

OnePlanOnHouzz · 01/03/2016 19:57

Noooooo

DoBananasWearPajamas · 01/03/2016 19:59

No way, Lucy should have gone, the wood paneling was dire, the dog in a hat picture, and the cuddly toy thing , all awful

dazzlingdeborahrose · 01/03/2016 20:00

Well, I hope kelly hoppen the queen of beige isn't going to demand colour and ceativity.

SwedishEdith · 01/03/2016 20:01

I really liked Frankie's mural - just a shame he didn't have time to finish it properly.

dazzlingdeborahrose · 01/03/2016 20:04

I don't understand their problem with white in rennie mackintosh scheme. Go see his house in Glasgow. The living room is almost entirely white!

annandale · 01/03/2016 20:07

Oh blimey!
I would have liked a close up of Lucy's fireplace,I couldn't quite work out what she'd done. Hated the soft toys but it looked exactly like the owners' taste And I don't get why white is such a bad thing, all the hotels I stay in are decorated in white Artex because they are Travelodges

DoreenLethal · 01/03/2016 20:15

I have to say Lucy should have gone.

dillite · 01/03/2016 20:35

What was so special about Lucy's fireplace?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 01/03/2016 20:44

That orange, with all the other colours in Slummy's room would give me a permanent headache, I'm afraid. And I don't like the sofas either - they don't look comfortable - they look like sofas you sit on rather than in, if you see what I mean.

But the decapitated soft toy hanging was beyond creepy - it said Psycopath Pre-School, to me - not hunting lodge!

I liked Frankie's room best, and I am gutted he went.

Slummy - I can't wait to hear your opinions on that orange - and can you tell us what your neighbours thought of their rooms? Is the trompe l'oeil wood paneling as shite as it looked? And did they burn the decapitated teddy hanging?

CremeEggThief · 01/03/2016 21:11

I'm sad to see Frankie goSad. No words for the soft toy thingy in Lucy's room. Slummy, you look gorgeous!

annandale · 01/03/2016 21:14

It was a trompe l'oeil fireplace screen.

ppeatfruit · 01/03/2016 21:15

I thought to be fair Lucy did the 'pretend' panelling quite well, though the room was too small for the darkness (better than upside down grey bricks though!) and the fireplace was clever. But the crazeee lady toy dog tapestry was OTT.

Oh dear poor Slummy!!! So much orange!!! Have you painted over it yet? Grin Your dh could lie down on that sofa but he looked very uncomfortable sitting on it. Clever light up cycle though.

Aaaah I felt sorry for frankie, but he didn't organise his time properly , he was too ambitious and that room didn't look like the interior of a medieval cottage to me! That lighting was too modern. I reckon.
