The Great Interior Design Challenge

[Davros]

New series starts tomorrow, 7pm on BBC2. Anyone else in?

Its on tonight then off until Monday

It's on mon, tues, wed next week, same as this week.

Cheers. For some reason, it didn't come up in my planner, even though I set the series link to record.

I'm a bit more than 10 minutes behind tonight, but remembered to record it.

Snap, Kiwi. I have to say Holly seems to have raised her game.

Victoria steam punk mixed with mid century modern?

I already want Franky to go through.

Did I miss when mirrors on the ceiling became sophisticated not seedy?

Yes Purple you were distracted by some sophisticated upcycling of junk from the back of a van maybe?

Must have been! Hate the plant stand thing (despite loving gin).

I'm now 20 minutes behind. Save me from preschoolers.

Frankie's presentation was properly professional. Hate the scheme, though.

I think Holly's will look nice but it's maybe a bit boring. I don't think Versailles-ing it up with mirrors is really the answer to that.

I hope it's a full bottle and not an empty one with a label 'this is what you could have had' or 'insert Gin here'

Some really catty comments from Holly about Frankie.

Really gone off distressed furniture recently.

There was only about an inch of 'Gin' probably water anyway, in that bottle

I don't care who wins tonight. Holly's upped her game a bit but she still wants to add too many 'here's one I made earlier' craft items. Her room looks a bit like a shop now, but she's hardly done anything with those sofas. However, the owners seem to love it.
Not sure that Frankie's man was that impressed.

Yes! The best person one IMO.

And....100k house is on next! It's a proper house-fest on the Beeb tonight.

I think the judges have been told to be more critical this series and make it in to more of a game show. It's just feeling a bit forced. Still going to watch though!

Hollys gin thing was awful. The writing on it looked really tacky.
The right person went through.

Definitely the right choice.

I liked Holly's colour scheme very much, it was definitely elegant and relaxing and I could live with that. Too much going on, though, and those tacky homemade things she includes...

Didn't like Frankie's room but he's definitely better overall.

I think Holly should have pointed out that mirrored walls were very Regency, the Prince Regent created a mirrored octagon room in one of his palaces, not Brighton I think.

But I'm so happy that Franky has gone through as I found Hollie's ideas quite grating. TBH that window decoration with the round thingies took me straight back to Changing Rooms and it's just a bit soon for that to be retro.

Sorry, but what the hell was that monstrosity that Frankie came up with?! I couldn't decide which bit I hated the most between the horrible blue paint and marble effect wallpaper. Owner didn't like it at all.

There is so much you could do with a Steampunk theme! Really underwhelmed with tonight's offerings! Roll on next week.

Just caught up with the end of this. I'm pleased Frankie went through because Holly was generally irritating but I was disappointed with his room. I love steam punk and he didn't really do muck of that at all. Roll on next week.

There was a fantastic steampunk wedding cake on Amazing Wedding Cakes the other day...
