Topic: Mitre 10 Dream Home Posted: 23 February 2009 at 9:15pm |
Sorry, I love this show  What did everyone think? Which room did you like the best?
I actually liked both rooms for different reasons. But I think I like the yellow team better

I liked yellow too. It seems to be trendy at the moment to have a floating wall behind your bedhead with the wardrobe built into the back of the floating wall and you walk around the side of it and bathroom is behind it (have been to several open homes recently where the master bedroom has this).
This is what the Blues had but I don't really like this layout. I dislike the idea of having my bed in the middle of the room with another room behind my head, something about it makes me uncomfortable! Just my weird hang ups though

I loved the colours and style of the yellow team!
Did think the whole layout with the huge dressing room was unusual (although I wouldn't mind it myself  )
I really didn't like the lime green painting on the brown wall. Other than that nieither were too bad, infact they were pretty similiar.
It will be interesting to see how the rest of the houses turn out.

I loved the yellow team, and the idea of having all that space to get dressed was great, if they'd had the budget/time to put the dressing table in there that would have been an awesome space

I liked Yellow team's - and I totally disagreed with the comments about the wardrobe being a waste of space. Not only would it be a great walk-in but you could make it a nursery or put a little office in there.
Also I found their room colours more restful. I don't like acid colours in bedrooms. And I loved their lamps.

I'm with Bobbie on the "waste of space".
It'll be perfect for a nursery or office space, too.
I loved the recess in the wall above the blue team's bed - with the candles.
I love that both had the windows at the foot of the bed.
Hard to decide
*eta: and while we're on the topic - where are their babies?

I loved the colours in blue, and kind of know the blue guys sister so my allegiance lies there :)
I love these type programmes :) Grand designs, extreme makeover etc, they give me heaps of ideas for our home scrapbook :P

I liked the yellow team...but wouldn't pay anything to vote. Can you do it online?
We have been using our walk in wardrobe as a nursery for the last 6 years and it works really well.....and we always tell everyone that the nursery is our wardrobe which makes people look at you twice.

DH and i liked both rooms for different reasons.......i don't really like the huge walk-in dressing room the yellows had and i'm not sure i like the lamps hanging down like that.....but i did like the overall look of their room
i loved the blue's choice of colours...apart from the lime..undecided on that too
but yeah...what is it with 'secret' wardrobes? i'm with you Febgirl, i would feel un-easy about having a room behind my head
i love programs like this, but it makes me jealous i don't have a lovely romantic bedroom

I LOVED the yellow bedroom, I did like the blues but the yellow was better in my eyes.
It felt really restful?

I usually dont watch this prog but did last night, might become addicted to it now!! haha,
I love watching grand designs (the presenter gets on my nerves, but its a great show)
I also loved the style of the yellow house but liked the candles in the 'love making' room as the blue guy called it... as you do!
I agree the walk in wardrobe could be used as a nursery aslo, great idea

I loved the yellow team. I just loved the curtains, and the lilies on the bedside table. It just looked so much fresher and more inviting.
i think the yellow teams Mum moved up to help look after the baby for 8 weeks?
