Well, she cut up the original desk into squares, painted them white and threw them up on the walls. Hope Jed Rogen never has to put up a white-dry-erase board or anything, cuz he doesn't have any flat wall-space left. She also mentions that the client had wanted the desk in front of the window, but she moved it back into the dark corner because it made more sense to do it that way, rather than having his back to all the traffic that's apparently going to be traipsing through his office.
Okay, Andrea? Huge fail. I dunno about you, but in most of CorporateWorld, people kill each other to have an office with a window (in fact, it's usually easiest to get your own by pushing someone out of the window in theirs) and I doubt he's going to be happy that you not only moved him as far away from his as possible, but you also picked two giant boxy desk lamps that further narrow his field of vision and will make meeting with more than one person at a time very difficult... you know, unless everyone is standing up.... but Silver Spoon thinks she did a bang-up job and did well...
...I'm not getting that from JonJon or India...
And that's it! Time for the ripping of new sphincters by our Top Design panel of experts. Danny thinks they all did a great job, though, as he admits it's hard enough to go green without having ridiculous twists thrown at you like these people had. Okay, he didn't call the twist "ridiculous" but I did, cuz it was.
Margaret says "The ones who were good, were really, really good!" I'm waiting for her to finish with "and the ones who were bad, they were hor-rid!" but no, she goes on to point out that it didn't matter what the color or fabric choices were from the previous designer, they made it work anyhow. Um, I think Ondine and Natalie would argue with you on that score, Mags... but here's the breakdown...
Silver Spoon Andrea: Jon-Jon liked her being forced to use a vivid color for once, and says she had some "good and bad moments", her white squares on the wall were boring. Margaret actually likes the fact that Andrea moved Jed away from the window. Someone should try that with Maggie and see how she likes it...
SexOndineCity: Danny remembers her right away because of her "really cool light fixture" and he loves that (duh). Jon-Jon says the room was semi-femmy, but that Ondi did the best she could with Whatisit's color choices.
Black Eye Nathan: Jonathan says Natey really knows "how to decorate a whole room!" As opposed to just half? JonJon thinks Nathan wants to be a "provocateur" and "edgy" and "avant-garde", which is fine by Mr. Adler as long as you give him... well, at first I thought he said "the sheep foundation" and I was totally scratching my head over that, so I listened to it back a few times and I think he said "the chic foundation", which is something he believes Natey handed out in spades. Yay for hearing loss! And Nathan!
Prettyboy Preston: Jonathan is hogging all the judging time and won't shut up to let anyone else get a word in edgewise. He thinks Preston is super hot and sexy and wants to take him away to The Parker Hotel in Palm Springs for a long, romantic weekend where they can make pots in the nude and watch re-runs of Season One of this show. Okay, I'm kidding, he says that Preston knows how to edit himself and lay things out in a very "restrained, strong way". Okay, I guess he still wants to have that sex weekend with him, only it involves bondage.
DannyBoy does have a teensy bitch to air, as he says "I will nitpick, though... those 'recycling bins' that he picked up?... I don't know what he's recycling, cuz they're this big! ((**makes teeny boxy hand gesture**))" Margaret's guess as to what Preston's recycling? "Kleenex!" Ew.
..."Yeah, and what was the deal with Preston having his shirt on all day?"...
India was also impressed by Preston's painting of his bookshelf, but that makes Jonathan think of Whatisit's "depressing little bookshelf"...
Whatisit: Jonathan thinks there's a lot of potential here, but he wants the Wispy One to "crank it up a notch!" Margaret thinks Whatisit "gave up" after his desk-painting didn't properly take hold, and India chimes in "and those chairs were covered in rather a sad fabric!" JonJon remembers the client asking for colorful and bold! Ooooh, you're in trouble now!

Don't have time to read all right now, just the opening paras, but I gotta get this off my chest...
My god, that Eddie guy is without a doubt the MOST ANNOYING ASSHOLE EVER TO GRACE REALITY TELEVISION.
I mean, there have been some pretty obnoxiously aweful people on tv, but they usually had at least one redeeming feature, or at least made for good television.
But this guy? My god. And you know what I hate the most about him? His weird mouth/lip thing --it even looks like a sphincter the way it seems to pucker up all the time.
I say we all start a letter writing campaign to the Martha Stewart rag, get his ass canned. But then, they're probably already aware of his...eh....personality.

Nooooooo..... bring back my little Wizzit!!! How will I go on without him?!
PS. Eddie is a twat and I hope Nathan gets him without lube for stealing his glory.

NOT Whatisit!!
OMG, now I'm really depressed. Sigh!
J-Mo, it's time for you to call in some connections and arrange for Eddie to fall out a window so Whatisit can be brought back.
As always, awesome recap,
Love ya,
Yenta

Thanks for giving me some giggles in the early morning, J-Mo! I liked Wisit but his room was really boring. Nasal Nat will probably be next to go. I actually kind of thought that the fabric colored boards were an interesting idea but it ended up looking like a dorm room. Go Nathan!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I am in a Wisitless funk. I watched the end of this show on my couch, curled in a ball, muttering, "Not my Wisit! Not my Wisit!", over and over again.
And ditto on the Eddie hate. The only good thing about having him on my tv is getting to read the numerous versions of his name I get to read in your recap.
I'm betting his actions are not pleasing Martha. Here's hoping he gets to hit the unemployment line because of his douchienss.

Shitdick is going to become my new favorite swear word. I've been trying to suppress my giggles in my little corner of the office so people don't look at me funny. And that word does describes Eddie wonderfully. I love how he called Andrea's room shitty when HE picked everything out. Did you see the previews for next week? They show his buttcrack again. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick Bravo, would you stop that! They may be torturing us on purpose cause they think they're funny.
Poor little Wisit. Seriously, that was a great dramatic exit. But yea, his room was worse than Nat's.
You are right about Ondine looking kind of beat up. She doesn't even brush her hair. Every time she's on screen I think to myself "buy a fucking comb!"

OMG, that was awes!!!! Absolu splend!!!! Stupen!!! and you had me laughing like a fool. I, for one, was absolu floored by Eddie's diarys, and the sneering, "Ew, ew, ew" and then dissing the shi out of his client . . . like you say, Jmo, doesn't he realize he's on TV! How could he call Seth's bro a dork, even if he's not as yum as his bro . . . he is just low, but, I dunno, I kind of enjoyed his open c*ntyness, it was like the gloves were off and he wasn't holding back for nothin'!!!
Lame, lame, lame that he didn't credit Black eye, esp with the rug thing, as you say, again, Jmo, ah, isn't paper free more green, that be lots of memo space . . .
I'm thinking Beige Spoons will go next, she's out of her league, like so many have been, but Nat seems to be educated at least . . . that one pic with the blush looks like her head was stripped on, but badly . . . . is it me!?
Anyway, love to the Jmo, and lastly, recycle bins . . . they sooooo don't know a thing about it, ridonk!!!

Great recap! Smile at my monitor good. Eddie is a douche.

Oh my, JMo! You give good recap my love. I'm cracking up at some of these comments too, especially JuddFan's Absolu splend!!!! Stupen!!!
LOL. You are def awes, J.
Your screencaps completely slay me, especially this one, which is just so, so apt "...I bet Nathan calls this piece "Down With Vaginas!..."
Perf!
I'm gonna miss little Whatisit too. He was so adorable! Eddie Pantyross is such a little douchnozzle! (That's right, I said panty, my most hated word -- that's how much I loathe him). I agree with Pegster that the only good thing about having him on the show is getting to read your hilarious remodelings of his name.

Whatzit just made my skin crawl...just too icky for me. J-mo really summed him up for me with this: "Whatisit's cotton-candy mind " --except, I had the feeling that ALL of him was cotton-candy, the nasty end bits that stick to your fingers for the rest of the goddamn day and end up giving you a rash because of all the nasty chemicals in there.
That, and he doesn't really seem to know anything at all about design. Even his drawings were like smoke.
But I don't know if any of these people know anything about interior design -- even's Nathan's office was an ugly cluttered mess.
And since I'm unfettered by any lustful thoughts here (since I'm hetero, and there just ain't no hot girls on this show...well, I liked that weird judge with the funny hats, what happened to her), I can say that all these people suck and it makes me wonder if they're not all tanking their careers.
But I really really really hope that Mister Sniffs his own shit-stained fingers gets canned from his job...

a splen thanks, zbird! Forgot to mention black eye's work of anti-feminist art!!!! Nailed on the head, that one!!!
Also forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the operatic goodbye to Whatsit, hope he gets a job with that, as he left it open for someone to swoop him up!!!! I can't be too sorry he's gone, as he's responsible for the demise of Big Daddy, speaking of lustful thoughts!!!!

Seriously, Martha Stewart needs to rethink her hiring practices. Eddie is beyond douchiness.

J-Mo;
"Awes" ... I just LOVE that!
Great recap, as always! You always find the hidden gems that I miss when I watch it.
I am SO sick of Eddie, I could just hurl whenever I look at him. He is the king of granny-panties and granny-design. Maybe he does wonders with Turtle Hill, but he still designs like an old bag, for an old bag (no way am I going to say "lady" for either of them.
Sadly, I do think that Whisit did do the worst job this week. He is funny and cute, but I don't think he has enough talent. Nat's excuse is that she's young, but she still has some kinda-cool ideas - she'll probably up with Andrea to go next week though.
Here's hoping for mor pics of PrettyBoy Preston without his shirt! Can't wait for next week.
Lots O' Love
