Changing Rooms is back

[BeforetheFlood]

Anyone watching?

I never start TV threads, but honestly I'm getting so stressed about the pink and yellow scheme I need an outlet. And support. Tell me it'll be okay, and those two poor women will not have to avoid each other in the playground for the rest of their children's school life.

Oh god the teapots 🤦‍♀️😱.

It was proper car crash tv!

Such beautiful rooms made to look cheap and nasty!

I did like some elements of LLB's room, like the cushions and sofa. But the blue and tv things looked really naff. Didn't like anything about the other house.
They were a bit less themed than last series though, that will probably change if those 2 blokes are back

Doubt those 2 blokes will be back now Whinnie is on with LLB!

I fully agree @Mooserp - "Such beautiful rooms made to look cheap and nasty !"

The tv thing LLB did was particularly awful.

And as for Whinny's- God help us.

I bet close up the designs look even worse

Probably done in a hurry with rough edges

That couple recently paid £1mil for a fixer upper so i guess they thought anything is ok and an improvement on what they had

The furniture looked cheap and nasty. They didnt even get a nice sofa

I loved CR back in the day. I didnt know it came back last year, so of course I've binged it all.
I love the rooms they did last week, not sure I'd want to live with them, but they were cool.

I can't work out if I love LLB and he's just eccentric, or if he's an arrogant twat.

I'm leaning towards arrogant twat @FilePhoto

Does anyone remember the changing rooms where they lay down some sort of plywood on the floor and a woman had to use a Biro I think and a ruler and draw lines so that they looked like floorboards?

Anyone watching?
Do we think LLB is going to use that blue every week?

LLB is going through a blue period.
Agree with pp that these rooms probably look bad with lots of rough edges close up.

I've just tuned in and my goodness what a massive improvement from the first series! Finally, some decent and livable designs (still shudder thinking back to that 'wig wall' those two wallies thought of in the last series)

I remember Micaela from the interior design challenge programme.
That was a lovely room, and actual happy customers!!

I agree.

Although I think I recall LLB using the blue and white panelling and stencilling and terrazzo designs before?

Yeah, I'm sure Lawrence has done this room before. I'm getting déjà vu.

LLB's designs are always a bit too theatre set for me.

Was that the "wig wall" designers in the preview for next week?

Please say it wasn't! But I think it was 😏

Just want to add how much I loved the fake books on the shelves tonight. I would so have that in my study/office 🙃

Fake books are an abomination

Didn't Sarah Beeny do something similar in one of her big house makeovers?

Yup, the masterminds behind this will be back next week...

Oh God no! I thought I saw Whinnie on the clip? Is LLB not going to be in it? Otherwise that would make 3 sets of designers 🤨

Just wanted to add that the carpet layering was awful imho. Liked the ceiling paper - but not in the ceiling. Far too busy.

Most importantly of all though, was the built in cabin bed actually a full length? It looked way to short for a growing pre-teen to sleep in to me. Also, where was the wardrobe storage? I saw one slim door at the side of the bed and that was it!

Those thoughts went through my head too.
Great minds think alike.

They got rid of the shaved rug.
I think you'd get fed up going in to the theatrically styled LLB's room.
The novelty would soon wear off.

I forgot this had started so I’ve caught up today.

I actually quite like LLBs room. The wallpaper on the ceiling was a shocker and the aubergine colour was nasty.
