BabysCoffee

When Elaine was talking about not having her study room, it got me thinking of when they wanted Frasier to give up his study as a room for the home help.

Frasier: My study? You expect me to give up my study, the place where I read, where I do my most profound thinking?
Martin: Ah, why dont you use the can like the rest of the world!

yes and a study (or office as normal ppl call them) is all very well in theory but In reality they become what as known as ...... the junk room!

JONJO THE MISER

Too fast for Dermot.

I have the the modern day solution to the study taking up space.. I have about 200 books on the laptop... Is it too late to ring Elaine and Dermot..?

Old school...get all the lads to stop hammering when I am talking to the man off the tele.

Lisha

I just love the name Fabian now!!

amdublin

The one positive thing I can say about Dermot is he does good kitchens.

Lisha

Is an Audi a prerequisite to be on the show?

BabysCoffee

Go with plain love!

Atlantic Dawn

I like Larry's thinking, get the basics right and leave the fiddly things like kitchen doors and stuff like that to the others.

Lets get your man from the telly to design our house, and then proceed to ignore everything he suggests

JONJO THE MISER

No messing about in the country.

Atlantic Dawn

These lads building seem to be the best so far, flying through it.

Why does Dermot not choose the window colour?

He does, but he just likes the customer to think they made the call.

CountyHurler

I have to say, the husbands of Ireland really dont come out of this show very well.. Passive, submissive, not very sharp, afraid of expressing an opinion... They are like every man ever portrayed in every toilet roll or insurance advertisement.

The need a show with a seriously confrontational husband... Producers, get Dermot to design something for me and I can guarantee you at least one scene like below...

whupdedo

Larry is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard

CountyHurler

That's Ben Bulben isnt it?

BabysCoffee

Why does that Garden room thingie have the seating with the back to the view?!

Lisha

The double height ceilings are gorgeous but simply impossible to heat

House was in Sligo so yes I think

Thoie

As usual I'm about 20 minutes behind, but are we all agreed that we like the owners so far?

yes! again its all very mod but totally impractical on a cold November night!

I like a classically high ceiling - like in a georgian house. But not like in a cathedral. I rented a house with massive ceilings in the living room - never felt comfortable!!

Exactly! sit on the couch with scalded knees like the rest of us!

Dermot is so patronizing!!!

Dropped pin



Only over the road from this spot. The house is further round the range then benbulben itself, and is on it, and looking across Glencar lake and the valley. Think it's this one.

Thoie

I'm just at the bit where there was confusion between Fabian and Dermot about the height of a wall, and Dermot's suggesting that he'll drive down to look at things. Do none of them have modern phones where they could take a pic, send a text and say "this one"?

amdublin

Go streamlined!

You are a young couple!

Atlantic Dawn

The cooker choice has to be hers, she will probably be doing most of the cooking, no offence to Larry.

Thanks, I was planning on stalking the family who own the house, and was worried about the difficulty in finding the place, but this helps hugely..

Owners lovely. As a farmers daughter, Larry is such a typical farmer!!!

Bobsammy

I'm running a bit behind! Love the room in the Sligo house.

BabysCoffee

Do they intend to have a big family that they will need a range for?

amdublin

oh god she's such a little old fuddy duddy!

I don't think ranges are necessarily for big families

BettePorter

wtf is he talking about? who walks into any kitchen and is horrified by the position of the oven? unless its under the sink or something!

Every little helps!

That couch is revolting!!!

amdublin

That's a hickey couch.

They are very old fashioned in their tastes.

Edit.
It's her! She's got very hickey taste!!!!

honeybear

She's getting on my nerves

BettePorter

lol I love how Larry is so country he was so not gonna help Dermot off that couch by touching him!

Samsgirl

White couch in a farmers house???
