She was v colourful Zebra.

You should stream him live Desolate. There's nothing quite like a huffing and puffing person watching something that gives them THE RAGE.

DesolateWaist · 03/01/2017 21:04

Perhaps if I watch the next when I will live post him.

Cocolepew · 03/01/2017 21:09

Dh isn't overjoyed that it's on at 8 either Grin

PurpleDaisies · 03/01/2017 21:20

I hated that headboard and the wall papered ceiling.

I totally agree about all the excess cushions everywhere. Pet hate of mine.

DesolateWaist · 03/01/2017 21:25

I haven't mentioned to DH that it's on tomorrow. He was out today but came back just as it finished.
One look at the TV and he said 'oh, it's these cunts'

WellErrr · 03/01/2017 21:39

Ooh is it on every day again?? DH is doing 16 hour days at the moment so I'll have something to keep me busy!

My DP hates it too. When Daniel said that Oliver 'really knows how to arrange cushions on a sofa' he stomped out of the room muttering something about how he'd like to 'suffocate him with his twatty cushions'.

I love it though. Agree that Little Beardy Lad (love that!) is surplus to requirements. And Kelly's face scares me.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 03/01/2017 23:54

Ooh its so pretentious considering the amount of mdf and gold spray paintGrin I wasn't impressed with any of the rooms.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 03/01/2017 23:56

Don't like Kelly Hoppen either. Meh.

RebootYourEngine · 04/01/2017 09:16

I liked the young girls room before.

Thought daniela should have left. Katies room looked so much better.

loinnir · 04/01/2017 10:07

The show is such great pseud value though. My lot were laughing their heads off over the cushion comment. My DP was angry and commented that there wasn't actually room to sit on the sofa anymore with all the perfectly placed cushions!

All the rooms were crap. The young girls room was no so much nicer before. Where was she meant to put all her books etc that were previously on a big set of shelves? The finishes are awful (and would look a lot worse up close and in real life). That blue and gold bed (shudder) and the leading on the mirror doors.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 04/01/2017 10:30

I want to cover my house in peach like a young hipster just because Kelly Hoppen says it won't be coming back...erm it already is.

purplemunkey · 04/01/2017 15:51

Oh I love Little Beardy Lad! Such a soothing voice, very smiley and I think his historical bits are interesting Blush

I liked Oliver's room the most, apart from the Fisher Price sized headboard. Daniela's room was a bit underwhelming I thought, and the cupboards were half finished which I think should've probably seen her out of the competition.

lalalonglegs · 04/01/2017 19:28

Oooh, I've found you (a day late). The good news is that my daughter follows Sophie on Instagram and apparently she has been talking about her involvement in GIDC there so - hopefully - she will be on it later in the series.

I too have met Kelly Hoppen and can confirm that she was terrifying, a scowl that could strip skin at 20 paces. However, her (then) home was surprisingly colourful and she was really fed up about being associated with greige. She had rather wonderful curtains made from chain mail, I seem to remember.

CremeEggThief · 04/01/2017 19:53

Nearly time for tonight's episode! Smile

dillite · 04/01/2017 19:55

Louis but hipsters don't paint their houses in peach. They call it blushed pink because they are too cool for peach.

DesolateWaist · 04/01/2017 19:56

I'm torn! This is on but also location location location is on 4. Is that a repeat?

MrsJamin · 04/01/2017 20:01

No idea but I'm settling myself down for episode 2 of GIDC!

ElspethFlashman · 04/01/2017 20:02

LLL is always a bloody repeat!

ElspethFlashman · 04/01/2017 20:03

Little Beardy Lad owns a lot of patterned tees and workers jackets.

dillite · 04/01/2017 20:05

GIDC of course! There's no comparison really.

TinySalmon · 04/01/2017 20:06

desolate same here! I'm recording LLL and watching GIDC.

The brilliance of Sky Q: Me, upstairs with ddog watching GIDC, DP downstairs watching some military history program. Everyone's a winner Grin

SealSong · 04/01/2017 20:07

We have two Mumsnetters on this thread who are in this series? How intriguing!
Wondering if any of today's houses in Saltaire are MNrs houses....

dillite · 04/01/2017 20:08

A Japanese interior in a Victorian terrace?
