    Hugh is my favourite presenter. Declan a second but think he has bigger budget ideas.

    I like the two of them as well. Something about Helen I am not warming to.

    Hugh and Declan are very natural I think. And a bit of craic :)

    Interesting that Dublin gets a programme where the houses are entirely self designed by a sculptor, an interior designed and an architect respectively. Hmmmm, representative of good houses or a discreet shill for their businesses.

    It's not the simple arithmetic which interests me so much as her beautifully crafted number 2s.

    Catching up late again.

    Helen's accent is really, really starting to annoy me.

    House no. 1 - SO MUCH STUFF! :eek: I'd get serious claustrophobia living there. Love what they did structurally to the house, but they'll have a serious wake-up call when that baby starts moving around by himself!

    House no. 2 reminds me of a creche with all the colour blocks. Is it in Stoneybatter? Love that pannelled mirror in the back room. The bedroom is giving me a headache just looking at it!

    House no. 3 looks like a whole lot of plywood on the ground floor (I'm sure it's not!). Dunno about small open-plan living for an entire family - you'd all want to love each other! I think there's an awful lot to be said for doors and walls (moveable ones by all means). What's that sign hanging from the ceiling say? Hate the mirror that they all love! But I LOVE that bedroom - looking over rooftops is second only to looking out over the sea or a river for me.

    Really, really wish they'd tell us where the houses are.

    There's one that keeps popping up in the promos that looks like a 1970's psychedelic trip - cannot wait to see that one :eek:

    I'd love to know where the houses are.

    I can't wait for the 1970's house - I've heard of a house like it in Lucan, wonder if it is that one?

    The Dublin houses have way more imagination, the country houses have way more space. I think I want the two !

    Just caught up with it on the RTE player

    Thought considering that its home of the year that we might have seen better standards tbh.

    Some of the passive houses ive read about (yes I know the 2nd one in the west cork programme was passive) - would destroy most of these houses imo.

    It remind me of an all Ireland hurling championship without Kilkenny tbh.

    The Tipperary cottage was nice imo - and so was Eva and Geralds house last week

    Hopefully the standards of the homes will improve.

    Yes I know that sounds VERY picky - but as Helen says at one point when being critical of something or other "this is home of the year"

    The majority of the houses WERE very nice - but I don't think most of them are doing justice to home of the year - if we are thinking the best home should win

    I do love converted churches.

    I wonder is it the one that was in Grand Designs?? Or are they all "newly done" houses? (Because that one was a few years ago)

    Not liking this.

    It's a style that doesn't sit well with me at all.
    It seems even his wife doesn't even like it.
