    Re: the winners. I thought it was a little risky to publicise the general location and contents of your immaculate home when you don't live there all year round.

    i am a glass half empty person though!:P

    It's a nice nosey around some vaguely famous people's houses - but do they seriously expect us to believe that they don't know whose houses they are??? Especially the Martello tower - you'd want to have arrived from Mars not to know whose that is!

    Why who is it?

    Too many stripes in that apartment, I'd be dizzy! Certainly wouldn't want to be stumbling around in the morning with a raging hangover :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,695 ✭✭✭Lisha


    I agree HH, definitely Terri's house is very well known, especially amongst Ireland's twenty or so famous people.

    I loved the view through the clothes designers red brick house

    Oooh, now I want to know where this one is.... anyone know?

    I recognised the first three, but can't get a fix on this one.

    Tenters, maybe?

    God I wish I had loads of money...such house envy watching this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,504 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    I love what Brent Pope did with the two rooms and the fireplace - I've never thought of sticking it in the middle like that! Makes one nice huge balanced room of it.

    They're not doing a very good job of pretending not to know who lives there!!! :o

    Really enjoyed this "celebrity" edition actually. The houses were lovely with some really nice touches. Wouldn't it be grand to have a bit of money!
    I couldn't get over how spotlessly tidy they were, they were more show house condition than home condition though.

    They say a lot about our psyche - a bit posh and a bit conventional. I'm gone right off grey kitchens.:D Terry Prone's Martello tower was at least 'lived in' although what's with the dull brown plaster outside.? I though they were all built from granite.

    Watching back. Are all the "celebrity" homes in Dublin?

    Yep, although Terry's Martello tower is out in Portrane.

    Yep.

    Portmarnock, Grand Canal, Tenters (D.8), Blackrock and Ranelagh.

    Enjoyed programme. Probably liked designers home the best. Norah Caseys was lovely. Liked Brent's garden. Apartment guy did a great job. The dogs were fab. Love cats, but Terri's was walking all over the counter tops!!!

    I love the camaraderie between the 3 presenters - very natural

    Anyone watching?

    I think these walls look a mess


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 482 ✭✭Innervision


    I think these walls look a mess

    Agreed, awful looking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    I'd love to live in a building like that. But I'd like finished walls

    A 9?!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    It looks like they are in the middle of doing it up

    That's what I thought


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,713 ✭✭✭BabysCoffee


    Those walls did not deserve a 10

    The winning house literally looks like student accommodation.

    Think they ran out of money after cladding the bathroom in marble
