I do agree, the candles could have been used in a different way. I enjoy the show very much.<br /><br />'D'jerseygirl211https://www.blogger.com/profile/02779277033859767629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-49971882557182611872009-08-05T20:29:45.638-04:002009-08-05T20:29:45.638-04:00I agree with you!

I would switch the two though as I think Dan's is just too busy. I wish he had taken out the art work on the two side walls and some of the smaller furniture as they are distracting from the GREAT backwall. The second one is wonderful and I love the colors of blue, black, orange, white.

Honestly, I didn't like any of them when I looked online today. If I had to pick I would agree with you except for your 2nd pick. Milk on the walls!!!! YUCK! I love your idea using foil! I know the idea is to show creativity but sometimes I think they try too hard. Shouldn't part of the challenge be creativity that is fast and easy and still looks good? What about the floral dept.? Candy? The bakery aisle with cheesecloth, marshmallows, spices? and what about the bakery itself? French breads, poppy seed bread...pastas! Uh Oh! You got me going now! But hey, what do I know? I still love my silk flower arrangements! LOL!

But I love what they did with all of the grocery items (especially that orange ring chandelier! And I love your ideas with foil (it makes some really cool impressions and designs, too). I would have probably done something crazy like using the foil and some of the wild and wacky fruits and veggies to create some "Jetson-esque" scene (which is why I'd NEVER be on a show like that, but I MIGHT be on America's Funniest Home Videos...). :<)Pam Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681029046120784248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-4293105960996602472009-08-03T23:00:19.538-04:002009-08-03T23:00:19.538-04:00HI! #1: Yes, they definitely sent the right pers...HI! #1: Yes, they definitely sent the right person home. #2......do you think if the scale of the circles on Dan's art pieces were bigger, they might compete with the back wall a bit? I think they might have. But, at the same time, get where you're coming from. Another great analysis.

Yes, I did go shopping last July and that is when I posted. However, it was nice to get specific places in the Niagara Falls area because that is where I would be going. I found your suggestions helpful because I am "due" to go on another trip and I appreciated the exact addresses etc. Thanks again and much appreciated...JillJill -Forever and Ever Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101076579279985597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948862230201694042.post-31692870477287225772009-08-03T20:38:52.019-04:002009-08-03T20:38:52.019-04:00Thank you for your visit to my blog!

The top three were my list too but there were sure some poorly done efforts....I agree that this year is the worst group of designers ever!<br /><br />How is real estate in your area? I am in So CA and it stinks out here!

It was a toss up for me between this and Torie's room, but this won me over with the chandelier. Love the look of the walls, but my first thought was the smell after a while under those hot lights - YUCK. I have no idea what I would have done, but my first thought was apples. Love your aluminum foil idea. Can't wait til next week.

I really thought the two rooms above were the only two that felt like a room... not a space decorated with groceries! I have no idea what I would do with this challenge, I think I would probably crumble under the pressure. Every time I think about it I think my ideas are way too predictable...probably why I will never be on TV! :) And yes, I think they sent the right person!CMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221606954525902403noreply@blogger.com
