I completely agree... I am just so sorry so many of the Dan fans are so ugly and hateful about the win. In past season I would not have been so angry and vicious about the other person winning who was not my pick. What's up with these mean people? They have a choice: don't watch. No one cares how mad they are! I am happy you wrote you fine comment. Ha! we share a last name!
hmmm, so many people with sour grapes and a mean spirt commenting....good grief... There are far more serious things in this world to get all wound up about... I take design very seriously myself but I can't hate any of the designers or say such ugly things about the ones who were sent home. Stop it and get a life all the gripping complainers! Do not watch Antonio's show if you don't want to, who cares???? there are plenty who will and really like it. You all are so boring with the slams and slurs, they will not change anything, they just make you all look goofy... I guess they make you feel good or something??? enough already!
How can anyone criticise any of these rooms...how many of you have ever renovated a house? How long did it take? I'm sure it was not complete in 4 days... I completely forgive some oversight like not quite getting the couch in the right place or remembering to put an edge on the tile...think of how many details they had to figure out FAST and do FAST. The furniture can be rearranged, the finish edge put on the tile, storage added in the little boys room. I give them both an A+. I am delighted Antonio won, he has been my pick from day one. I think Dan is great, I offer congratulations to both of them for jobs beautifully done. I'd hire either to help me design my next remodel.
the error was the unfinished top edge...it just ended meeting the wall. although that tile is beautiful it will get so groddy in a kitchen application because it is three dimensional: lots of little edges sticking out to catch dust, grease, food... David is right, something colorful a beautiful sparkling glass would have been perfect and easy to keep clean because it has a flat face... Dan did not loose because of his choice of tile. He lost because he is more of the same type of designer already on HGTV. HGTV wants something different than they already have...Dan is darling and a fine designer, Antonio rocks TV. For everyone of you who are pouting about Antonio winning and say you won't watch there are 10 who will. I'm looking forward to next Sunday!!
I like the Design to Sell shows. The realestate shows looking a sad houses that didn't get staged is mind numbing. International House hunting is interesting because of the locations and the styles of the houses are so different from what we see in American homes typically... I like HGTV because I go to it from "news" shows and all the political banter that has me worn to a nub, I have HGTV on a lot these days.
thanks for your kind words... I look forward to Sunday, as all of us with our big opinions do! yea for Antonio fans!
yeah, OkieJohn2 i am really tired of the realestate shows, they are so redundant and the hosts and buyers are truly dull...I say the more design shows the better! Let's let Antonio and Dan each have a show...their shows take the place of a real estate show.
True, we really don't know yet!
I think what happens is we get such a quick glimpse of each room, each contestant, each thing that is said by a contestant,then each of these glimpses has been edited to get us all talking about it-what we see, what we heard, that instant Rorshach (sp?) ink blot thought-all of us will see and hear something entirely different. In the end we are arguing apples and oranges. I like the many functions in the nursery-as a mother of two and grandmother of twin babies I KNOW all that furniture in the middle of the floor is not well placed for nursery function. I am not at all arguing against Dan's ideas or skills. I like to incorporate function into the design, how would Dan know how inconvenient all the stuff in mid room will be in getting to the crib and changing table. they will figure all that out. the winner has already been picked...one person commenting here has a link to an article in the Portland paper with an interview with Dan since this show we are talking about...maybe he is the winner, he invites everyone to a local bar to watch the show with him Sunday???
Hi, AllyK, oh my goodness you are in a dither...my comment about borrowing was about my initial reaction when I saw him paint the cloud painting for the baby's room...as I said I think Dan is a top notch designer...if he wins he will be another cute design guy which all good...the banter is about the final win. Antonio has always been my top choice because I believe he is good TV material: INTERESTING. Not that Dan isn't a good designer, he is but he is a bit plain vanilla for me. Dan's show would be nothing like David's that is just silly...I just wondered why he did that not very good painting which just added to the clutter of that nursery...no big deal.
