eeeek!

The wallpaper is heinous though

SwedishEdith · 02/03/2016 19:23

Why on earth would you be on this programme is you were as control freaky as that client? Shock Unless it's all a set-up?

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:24

Do you think they've handed Sarah a handicap and didn't tell her the real brief?

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:24

I hate wallpapered ceilings. So tacky.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:25

I like the cushions Sarah is making.

Lucy's dining room looks awful.

SealSong · 02/03/2016 19:28

Oh god , poor Sarah. What a nightmare client.

Sarah is way more talented than Lucy, but Lucy's mediocre design might win just because she has an easier to please client. Sarah has a much better eye for colour and design even though her designs are on the bold side. Lucy has no idea for colour or layout.

Homeriliad · 02/03/2016 19:28

Bird wallpaper is nice

OhShutUpThomas · 02/03/2016 19:29

Sarah's designs were awful. I can't believe how far off the brief she is.

You just can't do that in a house like that!!

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:30

On no! She ruined that beautiful fireplace by painting it red. There's too much red in general. And what's with that blue? Just why?

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/03/2016 19:30

I disagree that Sarah's client's a nightmare. She gave a brief and it was totally ignored in preference for schemes that Sarah thought would be more likely to win. You only have to look at her and read her body language to see she hates virtually everything suggested. She did say she tried to go with the flow, but just couldn't.

hazeyjane · 02/03/2016 19:30

Distressed dresser looks positively fucked off to me.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:30

Lucy's room really is far too overdone.

OhShutUpThomas · 02/03/2016 19:31

I don't think she has the client from hell. I think she's just presented her with a modern monstrosity of a plan in a beautiful elegant house.
The brief said 'in keeping with the house.' If soneone did that in my house j don't think I'd be too pleased either..!

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:32

That bedroom is beautiful. I'm disappointed we don't get to see her full design.

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:32

I like that floral fabric. I hate everything else she has done to it.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/03/2016 19:34

God if anyone did that to any of my rooms I'd chase them out of town. I hate both of the rooms, but more especially everything in that cheap and tacky looking bedroom.

They've all lost the plot.

hazeyjane · 02/03/2016 19:35

Sarah is definitely having a 'journey' isn't she!

namechangingagainagain · 02/03/2016 19:36

Does anyone know where the bird wallpaper is from. I like it a lot.

Kelly hoppens upper half of her face doesn't move at all :(

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:37

Both of those lightshades/chandeliers are hideous.

SealSong · 02/03/2016 19:38

I love those dark green colours that Sarah is using.

hazeyjane · 02/03/2016 19:38

You have no taste, Grouchy, everyone knows silver spray paint is the epitome of glam.

BitOfFun · 02/03/2016 19:39

Sarah is the frontrunner for me so far. I'm not sure Hoppen will agree though.

Homeriliad · 02/03/2016 19:40

Hoppen is unsure about the colour, lol.

SwedishEdith · 02/03/2016 19:40

I wonder if Kelly Hoppen has already said that she thinks Sarah is way ahead so they've created some obstacles for her?

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/03/2016 19:41

I don't know about the wallpaper, I like it too though.

I need to see the greens because the fabric we were shown looked more like a deep jade colour to me, so I'm getting confused.

For finalists an awful lot of this looks very childish and amateur.
