Your Home Made Perfect (BBC Two Tuesday 20.00)

[CrossPurposes]

A new series began tonight. Looks like more of the same: kitchen islands and eye-watering overspending ahead.

😂😂😂

Wow, this is going to be £££££.

Bless the grey filter.

£300k

So they have no bathroom downstairs now and instead have a boot/cloak room?!?

I think Laura moved the bathroom further down the 28m hallway.

A pantry! I am well jel.

There's a bit of a gap between the glass doors and the worktop so you could get a vacuum cleaner down there to deal with any dead bugs, so that's sensible.

Love those bifold doors.

I would trip up that little stair carrying dinner every single night.

It’s a pity the expensive kitchen opens out onto a not very nice fence and the house next door - they’ve got a lawn and a garden, haven’t they?

Final spends!!!

£310k. Bloody hell.

Indeed!

I was way off!

Well I was only £10k off

blimey 😦

To be fair, the end result was gorgeous, and they'll absolutely sell it for a fortune when they do.

Next week looks interesting too.

It was lovely, and a great space but bloody hell, £310k, that’s more than my house!

I absolutely love that they’ve actually stuck to the design and it works beautifully. Presumably at some point they’ll do the courtyard up a bit but other than that it’s just gorgeous even down to the beautiful wallpaper. Don’t know if anyone realised though that the hall is 28m long 😆

Definitely right to go with Laura's design. What was with Julian's wooden box chairs? They looked sooooo uncomfortable 😬

I love how they went with every aspect of Laura's design, even down to the wallpaper. Great result, but OMG it was expensive!

‘The build’ cost was £310k - my pondering was does that include the floor, the kitchen, the soft furnishings etc… or just the actual structural stuff?

Why was the piano and a sofa left in the living room?
And for all that money could they not have levelled up the kitchen and living area floors?

I loved Laura’s design but didn’t love the purplish/grey entrance hall. I thought the original kitchen design with the brass fronts on the tall units was better also. Even after spending £310k (plus the £80k future proofing the running costs) I was surprised they’d run out of money for the mezzanine area which looked like it was unfinished.

Julian lost me at the weird 90’s wood kitchen hatch/bifold doors I’m afraid.

I’ve been watching ‘Hack my Home’ on Netflix. If you can ignore the very American homeowners and strange designers there are some good ideas for spatial design. One episode involved a bespoke folding staircase which would’ve been a great alternative to the trippy-uppy drunk stairs Laura installed to the mezzanine this week.

Yes I've been watching that too Netaporter.
Some really good ideas.
