Top Design

[MeezDiscreet]

Anyone watching? I'm hooked already! Their first challenge was to design a room for an unknown client and they were only given a few items (that were really strange--a dragonfly, a doll head, a black & white painting, and a green lamp thing) to gain inspiration--they weren't even told the sex. Here are the designs from the first episode





this one was my favorite



this one was the winner



the losers although I must say, I'm digging the Chinese wedding bed



how boring!!!

I forgot to watch last week. I'll check it out this Wednesday when it comes back on.

I am loving those designs!

It was...aight. I didn't really love most of the rooms- they seemed overdone or fussy. I actually did like the winning room- I thought it was adorable in its concept and I want a meditation room like that (mins the big yellow pepper, lol).

I hated that Asian-themed room. The daybed was nice, but everything else was too matchy and fussy. And it did seem like the front room of a restaurant, lol.

The premiere ep comes on in 9 minutes so I can see both eps back to back.

Oh man, I would love to do a show like that.

Never mind. I figured it out.

I've gone a couple of weeks not watching t.v. so I'm just getting around to seeing the episode from last week.



This room looked better on camera but here, it looks full of mess. I thought it was pretty good to say that the stuff came from a garage sale.



the winning room. I wouldn't have picked it but I love the pillows. the client felt it lacked storage



if it weren't for the freaky art, this would've been a very good room



the losing room. i hoped she learned that less is more.



i really like this kid, goil. i think his designs are so out-the-box. although innovative, the bed was a fool--a recessed bed? not really functional.



this was my pick for winning room. i think he really got the client and i think the room looks fabulous



the judges had a problem with the color scheme but i don't think it's too bad. i do, however, think that it is disjointed. he seems to have no clue about furniture placement. and wth is up with the partridges??



total custer-fluck... why wasn't this kid sent home??? who would want to live in a black room?? with crushed glass in the paint??? and that divider is pure foolishness!

i'm thinking Goil and Matt in the end

I watched the last 2 episodes last weekend in a mini marathon. Did you see the cabana ep that was on before the studio apartment rooms?

The room above? I could have dealt with the black because of the other colors but that wooden "I'm on acid and crack" divider? SUCKED.

I didn't care for the winning room as much either but considering that they all used garage sales to supply the furnishings, they all did well minus Grandma's quilt room. The wallpaper was funky but that quilt cancelled it out threefold.

I always love Goil's work. I liked how he had those chairs that could go almost anywhere in that room.
