Da Decoração ao Makeover

This is the blandest show I have ever seen. I love design and architecture shows, but the utter sameness of everything was more than just dull, it was downright annoying. The couple seem nice enough, but dull, dull, dull. Everyone in the show looks the same, talks the same, wants the same boring stuff. It's all upper middle class white people in their 30s who inexplicably want white living rooms although they have kids under 10, who have giant screen TVs over the mantle, instead of, say art, whose idea of a dream house is a McMansion. All the colors are neutral, there is no color anywhere, either in the people or the designs. They have a warehouse of supposedly high-end accessories that all look like Ikea, but all beige and twice the price. The couple spends a lot of time talking to the camera, but they're just not that interesting. There is no originality, whimsy, personality, creativity, or imagination anywhere to be found. Shallow, bland, and boring.

You don't learn anything it just for publicity, i don't see the point of it

I really liked the show. I think Shea and Syd have really bubbly and nice personalities that work so well with the show. I've seen a lot of people complaining about how it's all the same style over and over. THAT IS THE POINT!! They hired Shea because they love her style and what she does, so I don't really care for that kinda criticism. Having said that, I would've liked to see more about the renovation process / building their own house.

I'll start by saying that I'm British so our home design shows are very different I think. I actually quite enjoyed watching this, and the family that the show features are really sweet. However, the interior design is a bit samey... white and boho seems to be the theme for every property. I love that style don't get me wrong but that's a bit boring after a while. Also, I would say that a house that is 2000 square feet would be considered fairly big for most Brits, I don't know if it's the same for Americans or not but I assume not everyone in America lives in a mansion. The people on this programme have like 8000 square feet houses...and one of them is 22,000 square feet. I've never even heard of a property that big in my life. How could one family need that much space I don't understand. Anyway, I find that this makes it really hard to watch because the houses are really unrelatable for the vast majority of people. To be fair there were a few more normal houses but I actually don't think enough of the actual design was shown in the episode.

Some have mentioned that everything looks the same in all of her designs. That's her brand lol. Every design show is like that. I don't always love her styles for me personally but her clients do. That's the point. What I like about this show is that Shea is honest when she doesn't think or know how to do something for her client. Granted she always figures it out.

I also enjoy how she explains her design methods and choices. I feel as though she's trying to educate her viewers but doesn't use too much high-level design jargon.

I also like that we get to see and hear from the construction team. They do the grunt work and I enjoy hearing from them in addition to seeing the work they do.

Lastly, the episode in season 3 with Mary is so good. What a beautiful human!
