“Major design fails”

Written on: 08/08/2012

The "designers" are woeful at best. The work done to people's homes is so half-baked: painting ON TOP of old crappy wallpaper, putting up garish wallpaper (badly - there are always bubbles visible even on camera??), overloading cramped rooms with tacky accessories and just generally doing a big, massive design vomit behind each door. The walls will be peeling as soon as the crew leave, and then the homeowner will be forced to fix up the poor workmanship with money they probably don't have for a decor they probably don't want.

I watch it purely to see the diplomacy of the homeowners (henceforth known as "victims") who claim to say that things are "beautiful" just because they are so shellshocked and are going to be on the telly.

I wish just one victim would say what they are really thinking...

I have renovated many homes and recently built one. My father owned his own construction business. The work on this show is appalling! The wallpapering, sub-sub standard. The painting shocking. The tiling makeovers always a mess...this is a make over to disaster and costs to the owners to fix up the botchy jobs. Cannot believe that they actually produce this show! Not sure how they can legally get away with it when some of the owners of the homes are not actually aware of the mess these guys are making of their homes!
