The High Low Project

I like the concept of this show but it's not pulled off all that well. Sabrina's designs are generally ho-hum and sometimes miss the mark but they are all better than what the homeowner's put together, so there's that.

Sabrina promises to exactly recreate (her words, not mine) the high end room but rarely does so "exactly". I get that replacement pieces are often not going to be the same, and she well knows that too, so perhaps she should back off that promise.

The real highlight of the show is her design "assistant", Chris. He's a lovely man and I suspect he could actually do a better job than does Sabrina. I think she knows that as well, which is why she is sometimes competitive with him rather than working with him, and she's pulls an attitude. Sabrina seems like a nice person but has a bit of a "princess" complex.

In summation, high end designs aren't always great, replacements sometimes miss the mark by a wide margin, but it isn't a bad show, just not the best out there. It gets to be a bit of a bore after watching half a season because it's just more of the same, but if you spread out viewing the segments, it won't bore you to tears.
