Oh shoot. I actually like the room. Fucking hell, are wheezer it was made by Lucy?

namechangingagainagain · 02/03/2016 19:44

I wish frankie was there.....
There's stuff everywhere with lucy. I'm not known for my minimalism but it's too much.
I do like the silver leaf though

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:45

Kelly Hoppen likes silver? You don't say!

SealSong · 02/03/2016 19:45

Lucy's living room is too conventional and dull for the final.

Kelley Hoppen's frozen face is rather startling though.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:46

Lucy's lightshade looks like my 4 year old made it. And I wouldn't let her use silver spray either.

The living room is ok. Looks very calming.

Don't like the colours in the bedroom.

SwedishEdith · 02/03/2016 19:47

Lucy's rooms are rather dull.

namechangingagainagain · 02/03/2016 19:48

I dislike the lime and lilac too

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:48

I am very suspicious of just how.... normal... Lucy's rooms are. Especially as Sarah's are all out there.

BitOfFun · 02/03/2016 19:48

He was dead right about that shocker of a lightshade. And yes, rather dull overall.

SwedishEdith · 02/03/2016 19:49

Oh, Sarah is clearly going to win. And they knew that from the start.

dillite · 02/03/2016 19:50

I do not like Sarah's living room. At all.

hazeyjane · 02/03/2016 19:50

God I want to restore that mirror.

Much better than Lucy's

BitOfFun · 02/03/2016 19:51

Sarah's is way ahead.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/03/2016 19:51

Sarah's lounge - sorry, drawing room - is elegant, it is pretty, it is not in keeping with the house.

Couldn't get less atmospheric than the original dining room, but I am not that impressed with the restyling. I love the gold colour, it's pretty much exactly what I want in my room.

CremeEggThief · 02/03/2016 19:52

Just 5 minutes in. I'll catch up later.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/03/2016 19:52

I hate Sarah's living room, it looks like cheap knock-off Versace.

Tell me this, why is there never enough stuffing in their cushions and upholstery?

SealSong · 02/03/2016 19:55

I Loved Sarah's living and dining rooms and they do work with the house they are in.

lapsedorienteerer · 02/03/2016 19:56

I don't like either, both did better designs in previous properties.

SwedishEdith · 02/03/2016 19:56

Sarah's stuff just seems to be better quality with a better finish. I think she comes across as a bit aloof so, maybe, puts people off?. SHe'll win.

OhShutUpThomas · 02/03/2016 19:59

I think Sarah's been really selfish and arrogant with hers. Unless she's been stitched up, they are just so not what her homeowner asked for. It's just a vanity thing for her to 'push the boundaries' and win.

I wish Frankie had had a go with Sarah's brief, it would have been right up his street!

hazeyjane · 02/03/2016 19:59

Well I think the right one won.

Now she just needs some more beige in her designs.

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/03/2016 19:59

I think you'd get a better end result with Sarah, but you'd have to be incredibly firm and not let her brow beat you into what she wanted, as opposed to what you wanted.

My favourite thing tonight was the Cloud wallpaper that Lucy used. That room had great potential too.

I think previous series have been much better.

As a bit of an aside, Sheffield Park Gardens is an absolutely wonderful place.

OhShutUpThomas · 02/03/2016 20:06

Sarah's living room was hideous. And where would they sit!? I'd cry if that was mine - it was beautiful before!

SingSongSlummy · 02/03/2016 20:07

I suspect the meddling hands of the producers with the brief not being conveyed properly. They were definitely trying to stir things up for Sarah in Wells and they were almost begging us to object to the colour half way through and I'm so bloody minded I decided to go against them and fully support her colour choice

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 02/03/2016 20:08

I hated Sarah's bedroom and the drawing room. How can someone win when they haven't met the brief from the client, but have given them tacky animal prints instead?

Frankly, I wouldn't let either of them loose in my house.
