I love Jonathan and I what he's doing restoring old houses but I've yet to watch an episode where I was blown away by the design. Most of the time I'm saying no, no, no! Nothing seems cohesive in the design. These people spend close to 200 grand or more and I'm wondering where it goes. I hate to say this but I agree with a lot of the other reviews that say that the designer is not up to par. She just put a small blue hexagon tile in the entry way and mud room and then chose a dark gray larger hexagon tile in the kitchen and the rest of the first floor was refinished hardwood. Too many flooring styles on the same floor which made it seem even more chopped up and not cohesive. She also used a garish blue color for trim in the kitchen(with dark green appliances, which could have and should have been gorgeous) and dining room. Top this off with the most heinous, busy green print wallpaper in the office(same floor) and you see what I mean about not having a cohesive design. They spent 200 grand and were expecting a new laundry room with a small addition and they got a small laundry closet(no room to fold, hang items or even store laundry items) I would have been so let down by this and I got the feeling the husband wasn't impressed. I'm not impressed with any of her choices from paint color to flooring to light fixtures or anything quite frankly. Like I said, I just love Jonathan and his mission to restore old houses but I feel the designer has got to go.
