I have been looking for a thread of this, would never have called it a reality show though.

They better include plenty of 70's floral patterns or else Orla Kiely will send them home.
Edit: I've just been on her website and didn't realise she made clothes, that pattern must just be a bit over exposed. It makes you think that's all she does. |

Really enjoyed that!
Too engrossed to post much, but a lot of comments made me LOL! Ann's method of doing fiddly bits, at the expense of the overall look, finally bit her in the bum. Right decision. |

I'm genuinely interested in Orla Kiely, from what I have seen she has only designed one pattern, and it just varies in colour. I was at the Spring Fair at the NEC a couple of weeks ago, she had a stand and it was all that one pattern, just applied to different products.
That's certainly my impression. There are lots of designers from the 50s and 60s that are far better imo( if they would re-produce them) And after that it's Kelly Hoppen, queen of taupe! (I like taupe btw!) |

Anne's comment about wanting to show what she can do if she goes through...
She's had four attempts already o_O is that it showing us already?! :-P |

The standard is really low I don't think I've seen a room yet in this series that I actually like. There has been a bit too much ego from the designers in the heats wanting to do what they want as opposed to what the clients really wanted. Apart from Frankie the finalists are rather unlikable.

I still can't remember the blonde woman's name. The final will hopefully be Frankie and Sarah. I want Frankie to win but as the previous poster said, his personality has a lot to do with that. Daniel does seem determined for it to be Sarah though.

This programme has proved very educational for me - nothing to do with picking up interiors tips, but discovering that for years I've been mispronouncing Orla Kiely's name!

Lucy's lovely, but really does fly by the seat of her pants! I know the judges love the fact that Sara's not scared of colour, but for me Frankie has the edge. He's got a great eye for what works together and his rooms always look sumptuous. Going to miss this!

I'm glad Anne has gone. The room she did was dreadful and I can only guess that the homeowners liked it because they're bonkers!! Or maybe because the place has had a lick of paint and no longer smelled of 'dog' 🙊
I like Sarah but her love of dark colours in small rooms is worrying - so oppressive, especially at a seaside location! I liked Frankies but was a bit worried by sconces and bevelled mirror thingies - is he very desperate to show his detail? Owner loved it basically because it was tasteful - as opposed to how it was before 😎 I agreed with 'crazy' Oliver about Lucy's mismatch of blues. I didn't like the paint effect on those two chairs either, looked as though it had gone wrong! Don't know much about Orla - should I look her up? |

On these makeover programmes, why do designers more often than not think that people who live at the seaside want a seaside theme in their houses?

Evenin all. Wow this medieval street looks amazing. It looks like a movie set from Harry Potter or Cranford.
