(even though his job was saving lives and such. definitely not as big a deal as a needy redhead.) to see the thoughtfulness and reverence you had in their space meant a lot to me, even through the tv. the minute nina said she wanted to give the guys a "spa," i knew she was gone. anyone who's spent five minutes with a fireman knows "spa" is not in their repertoire, unless one is burning down. thank god she didn't get that. thank you for being moved by the heroism and brotherhood in that firehouse, because that's exactly what their lives are, from sunup to sundown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-78122133555055352422010-07-22T08:36:37.055-07:002010-07-22T08:36:37.055-07:00My favorite part of this episode was when Nina ask...My favorite part of this episode was when Nina asked how the room should feel..."Like a spa?"<br />Seriously, Nina?

It, along with Alex's mural and Casey's fireman silhouette, made that room rock! <br /><br />To me, good design is a balance between form and function. This room definitely had it. The furniture, cork board and white board gave it the function, and the above elements gave it great form.

Honestly, one of the main reasons I'm glad Nina's gone is that maybe we can now get away from the "drama" and into the whole "design" part of the concept.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346153410666378636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-28260942477548705832010-07-20T15:58:08.134-07:002010-07-20T15:58:08.134-07:00Wow...Robin on Room Fu was pretty brutal, but with...Wow...Robin on Room Fu was pretty brutal, but with reason.<br /><br />My boyfriend, who isn't really following the show, but has to watch it every week, cheered at the outcome of this week's show. I really wish they'd give you all just a tad more time to do these challenges. Creative people can stretch small budgets, but when the time is impossibly short, the result is probably going to be a little sloppy.Jeannine | The Small and Chic Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702901309930825003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-70345171603139105252010-07-20T15:30:53.061-07:002010-07-20T15:30:53.061-07:00So, firstly, I'm not opposed to murals - not t...So, firstly, I'm not opposed to murals - not to include your castmate Nina's - and although the huge majority are not de Gournay I often see ones that work in a space and I believe that Alex's does. It's a decent element considering what you had to work with. Secondly, your table will no doubt be the highlight for those guys and your sentiment behind it just highlights a reason why, if you were the chick to get the show, it would be somewhat compelling to watch. Thirdly, in spite of your rah-rahhing to stick with it, it gets better... the show truly sucks. But I'll stick with it just to read your recaps and the ones over there at MFAMB. Most of the design blogs are becoming homogenized, with the same shit being circulated,and this action here gives me a more interesting web destination every now and then. Thanks.

All I will say is that mighty fine people come from Oregon & Arkansas and I swear that was like a personal dig at me. Attack my two favorites why don't you? I want to spit on her. My kids want to spit at her. She's not the only designer talked about. Dan is the only one that is gone that people want back. We've got shirts to prove it. GRRRRR Stay strong and continue doing great work. I'll post more when calm.
