Bleargh! Redecorating horror!

[icarus]

I'm looking at a before/after redecorating job.

Oh. My. God.

Rebecca's Garden.

The took this rustic family room with wood paneling and natural brick walls with a view of the lake, and they painted a tomato red stripe all the way around the room. They painted a nice wood cabinet bright red.

They showed the Before pictures and my eyes went: "Ordinary, but pleasant."

The After pictures: "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!"

If Rebecca ever shows up at your door, meet her with a flamethrower.

I can't stop watching this show. What else is she going to do? It's like a trainwreck.

I am going to get caught up on comments, I am...

The recipients lie. You can tell by the stiff way they say it. "Er, yeah, I really like flowers all right..." *cringe* "Gosh, and uh... um... red is my favourite colour after all." The woman who's place had been painted red praised the new TV cabinet, "Oh that's good, to hide the TV away like that." Not a word about the rest of the decorating.

I suspect that red paint was going bye-bye faster than you can say 'Home Depot.' :)
