Starting this one as I finished last one...

So, Daniela I think will win as it looks like it's been written/plotted that way since the beginning..

I don't think Daniela is either outstandingly good or bad - she's fine, she's okay.

That's why the mega enthusiasm of the judges is so weird.

The first time she appeared, Daniel and Kelly bigger her up so much, I thought - 'Does she know them?' - it was just like ridiculous.

But here she is in the final - quelle surprise!

Saw it coming from her first appearance and it had nothing to do with her design - and everything to do with what the judges were signalling in the voiceover.

'Hey viewers, Daniela is good, good good...'

Bit brainwashy without ever really explaining why she is better than the others.

I don't think she's bad - but there is not enough discernible difference to justify the bigging up that she gets.

Written in the stars eh?

That beautiful floor ruined!

LIZS · 19/01/2017 20:31

Now we have the self indulgent artwork!

fourquenelles · 19/01/2017 20:32

Not such a "little" detail

officerhinrika · 19/01/2017 20:32

Why do anything to the parquet?

RTKangaMummy · 19/01/2017 20:33

Also beardy man presenter has not tied his tie belt on his trousers just has the 2 ends dangling

PurpleDaisies · 19/01/2017 20:34

I preferred it before! I really don't like the light thing or the floor.

Cocolepew · 19/01/2017 20:34

She hasn't done much, painted it white and lifted the carpet Hmm

fourquenelles · 19/01/2017 20:34

So she's just painted it all white and stained the floor. Hardly high end design

officerhinrika · 19/01/2017 20:34

So basically she's painted the room

Cedilla · 19/01/2017 20:35

Nope, the floor is shit. The lamp's cheap and nasty.

SealSong · 19/01/2017 20:35

Daniella's finish is terrible...spots of white paint all over the floor..

dillite · 19/01/2017 20:35

I kinda like it. Even the floor, although it could have been lighter.

fourquenelles · 19/01/2017 20:35

Great minds Coco !

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:35

Ooof, that floor is black! I hate all the white.

LIZS · 19/01/2017 20:35

The floor is very uneven. The bed lit up was nice but very stark otherwise.

RTKangaMummy · 19/01/2017 20:37

Exactly a white bedroom with an awful dark brown stained floor

A light with string with staples showing the string not trimmed

GrouchyKiwi · 19/01/2017 20:37

I think they need to make their filter a bit less obvious on the Before pictures.

Oliver's room is definitely better, but it doesn't really feel like one room.

RTKangaMummy · 19/01/2017 20:37

Really like Oliver's blue room SmileSmileSmileSmile

dillite · 19/01/2017 20:38

Oh, I like this. I think it suits the room a lot. Well done, Oliver.

CondensedMilkSarnies · 19/01/2017 20:38

That guest room looks awful

LIZS · 19/01/2017 20:38

The blue on the wall is a bit flat but at least it has a sense of place.

PurpleDaisies · 19/01/2017 20:38

This is better but I'm still not keen. I don't like the colour or the stencilling.

Cedilla · 19/01/2017 20:39

Well, the owner thinks it's modern, obviously!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/01/2017 20:39

The light fitting is a complete mess - the finish is appalling. And I agree, the floor is far too dark - much darker than the test patch. She'd have done much better to use a wax to darken it - it wouldn't have taken hours to dry.

Mind you, I am not too keen on the study Oliver's done either - the colour on the walls is too sharp and bright for me, and I don't like the stencilling either.

All a bit disappointing, so far.

But it's nice to see Sophie back!

RTKangaMummy · 19/01/2017 20:39

At last a bookcase that will actually hold BOOKS
