Kyra Sedgwick’s daughter, Sosie Bacon, continues her guest stint on The Closer.
Design Star recap
But first, it was a poignant episode of Design Star this past weekend when the teams worked their design magic for two military families. I’m sure both families were thrilled with the
upgrades to their standard base housing in the end but some of the design choices left me scratching my head. One team hung curtains — on nails — so they can’t be closed. And it’s clear they
weren’t designing with children in mind as they both built low level, open entertainment centers leaving all of the goodies in reach of little hands.
The best bit of the
night on Design Star was when Antonio and Torrie got into it over paint colors. The homeowner said she liked beige and brown so Torrie wanted to paint the already boring room tan. Antonio
said clients don’t know what they want, that’s why they hired designers. He wanted to paint the room blue and to seal the deal he “accidentally” forgot to buy the tan paint. Later, at judging, he
stood up for his decision in a big way and it won him praise from the panel. If someone was giving me a $10,000 room make-over, I wouldn’t care if they painted the walls orange. It’s like a bad
haircut — it can always be redone.
I also watched Defying Gravity, the ABC soap in space and I still don’t like the flashbacks but the main story is great. Last night was the true illustration of the phrase; throw a wrench
into the works, as the crew struggled to track down the source of several ship malfunctions. But surprise, surprise, instead of it being the handiwork of the thing in the pod, it turned out to be
the result of a wrench left behind during repairs…or was it…?
It makes me want to go contemplate the wonders of the universe, or at least my navel. I’ll do that, you keep reading.
