Going green...going home!

I am struggling with the balance between what the clients what their rooms to look like and what the designers do.  If a client wants colorful and bold...why would you ever decorate their room with neutral plain colors and no accessories.  I just don't understand why a designer wouldn't give you just what you want...whether it is your "ascetic" or not.  


This week the designers were to decorate offices for a company that is "eco--friendly" and works with water recycling.  They had to try to be as "green" as possible.  Reuse furniture, fabric, etc.  Ondine made a light out of recycled water bottles..very cool!  The rooms were very nice looking, overall!

Eddie is probably the most annoying on the show...and is sooo full of himself and I can hardly stand it.  So at the beginning of the show, each designer met with their client and worked out the details of the room.  Nathan (who is one of the best designers) thought it would be great to tear up the carpet and use it on the wall as a place to pin notes, etc.  Then there was a switch-a-roo and the designers had to switch rooms with another designer.  Eddie got Nathan's room and in the midst of the trade-off Nathan told him about the carpet idea...which he did.  Then...in the judging portion Eddie got praised for the idea and look of it (it was very cool looking) and he said thanks....thanks!  Not giving any credit to Nathan...I thought that was VERY lame!  Unfortunately, he does great every week and will be annoying me for who knows how much longer!  Dang it!

Okay...the loser...Whizit...thank goodness!  He was not only annoying, but his designs were BORING!!!!  So....real glad he's gone!
