"Antonia's Process?? (The Rich Housewife's Decorating Assignment)" |
Hello? Ethan Allen? I need an Interior Decorator! Can you bring me any fabric, furnishings, wall coverings, lamps or anything you think I might be interested in to decorate a room? Yes, uh huh, bring it to me, to the SO house. See, I supposedly have this assignment, to decorate a room in the house. WHAT?? Go out and find everything myself, like go to Pottery Barn or Pier One, or WalMart? (No way, WalMart!!)Why didnt they just fly in Martha Stewart too? At the very least, she should have made the call to interview and find a decorator. Can I have this assisnment? I have a few rooms I need fixin' up!! By the way, Didnt she go to College? Did she have a major?

... and she didn't know why but she picked the fabric that reminded her of womb, uh I mean, the room where she napped in her mother's house.

My feeling is why have her do an assignment to redecorate a room (that is not a necessity when she really has no money) and then hand her the $10,000 to use as she wants? How is that teaching her to be responsible? How is it teaching her to prioritize her needs from her wants and how is forking money over to her with no effort on her part to earn it going to help her with the issues she has since she spends like a wild woman and then never pays for things? It's like giving her the okay to keep doing what she has been doing.

Why did they even give her this assignment?? The fact that she never even inquired as to the COST of things just FLOORS me!! Should they be wood, carpeted, which kind, what color?? HHHAAAA!!

My best guess would be Ethan Allan offered the furnishings in exchange for the promotional value. It wasn't about how to decorate for less - it was how to expand SO's sponsors beyond Glade!

This assignment is just plain stupid. Seems like a desperate ploy by SO to get a few more product placements in before the end of the year. Most of the assignment has already been done for AntoniDuh. The decorator already had color schemes and fabrics for her to choose from (the hardest decisions in decorating a room IMO). If this assignment was really meant to teach her a lesson on budgeting then she should have been sent out ON HER OWN to do some comparison shopping for starters. But this is SO, she'll whine and complain the whole time, put in the least amount of effort, and she'll be showered with accolades.

>Antonia gets the task of spending >$10,000 to redo a room. > It's ridiculous. Methinks this stinks of "Look what you can do by yourself, Antonia. Maybe this could be a CAREER for you!" It's like an SAT puzzle Antonia is to "Interior Decorator" like Josie is to "Animal Trainer," "Bartender" "Elderly Caregiver" or "Mother." --you decide. (Hint: SO steered them there, but Neither one will come true. ) >Also, everything comes to Antonia >in the SO house and >she just sits on the >couch and waits. Nice life. Where do I sign up?? She >isn't even required to visit >stores and pick out items >herself. Now that you mention it--that's really disgusting, too.

Iylanda told Antonia that she was now talking and that the other's might allow her to interupt them but she was not going to. She told her what she had said was disruptive, disrespectful and dis something I cant remember. She told her that all she had to do was ask for help, But if she didnt ask for help and no one helped then she couldnt be angry. I thought she told it like it was and she also put Niambi in her place as well. But, I also feel like the other's should have helped the spoiled brat paint the room. She is a HM and it is one for all and all for one or should be. Christie is just lazy and that is why she didnt help paint. I think Chrisite had been so heavy for so long that she got lazy and she still thinks she is 300 pounds so it is hard for her to get around. ha ha

This is just Iylanda showing favoritism again. Is this one of her messy excerises? Sure seems like luxury to me. She didn't do this to the other girls she coached. No, not to Niambi or Antonia her favorites, all she does is coddle and hug them.

Anyway, this is ANTONIA'S assignment, why should anyone have to help her? That's her problem, she wants everyone else to do the work, and then she takes credit for it!!! Just like in her poetry slam, "Poetri" basically did all the work, and all she did was show up, and be the star!!!

I have to say, as addicted as I am to this show, Antonia is miserable to watch. She is so spoiled and needy. How HARD is it to ask for help?! Is she really that superior that she expects people to drop everything when she needs help? And on top of that, she expects them to just somehow KNOW she needs help? Hello?! B O R. I hope she either gets kicked out, or leaves - I'm so sick of her. I wouldn't ever offer my help to such an entitled brat. If I had a nickel for everytime she rolls her eyes...I'd have enough money to redecorate a spare bedroom in the SOH.

LAST EDITED ON 05-12-06 AT 03:05 PM (EST)The point made about the assignments given to former HG's with financial and debt issues was a good one. Consultations with bankruptcy attorneys OR a spending spree in an upscale furniture showroom? Hmmmm....that's a tough one... Of course this was an Ethan Allen commercial, and their designers were there to make sure that the finished product is a reflection of Ethan Allen finery, not Antonia, the 24 year old HG from Boston. SO paid for nothing. The real trick in decorating is creating something from nothing. It's a talent. It means coordinating the limitless vendors available, deciding on a color scheme, a decorating style, and choosing fabrics from hundreds of bolts of varying texture and color, and not going into debt to do it. She has professional decorators doing the hard part and asking her to pick door 1, 2, or 3. It's just silly. In trying to find something of value Antonia could have taken from this assignment, only one thing occured to me. Beyond fashion, I don't think Antonia has considered some of the beautiful and lasting things money can buy. I think this might have been the first time she was in a showroom like Ethan Allen. She loved it, and said she felt like a kid in a candy store. If she works hard, budgets her money, and protects her credit, it is entirely possible that one day she could be shopping in Ethan Allen for her own home. I hope she remembers how good it felt to have access to those luxuries. *******************************************

Antonia should get a membership to debtors anoymous, the cheapskate's newsletter, and other cost saving magazines.

What is this assignment supposed to teach her anyway??? I don't get it. How about an assignment where she has to put a dollar in a jar everytime she whines or complains and tries to convince all about how hard she has it living in the house.A month of that and she would surely be aware of how stupid she sounds and they'd have enough money to decorate some more rooms. Yeah Antonia I know your in debt but here's $10,000 and were gonna show you how to really get into debt when you go home and have something to show for it.

I loooved the yelling up the stairs, "Get down here and help me B*tches!" what a way to motivate! LOL!

They had this in common! What poor diet are these women ON, anyway! Someone QUICK send the SOH some spinach and an iron pill! THAT would be support! They both needed vitamins, or something. What adults sleep days that don't have small children napping too, an illness, a needed break *NEEDED* break, or a night job to get to later? How is this allowed??

"We gave you a crappy grad. gift, but you got to use a $10K spare bedroom while you were here, right?" ::smirk::
you are correct, though, it's ridiculous. What's even MORE ridiculous is how Antonia announced, "I am even under budget." Yeah. She was under budget because that woman that was helping her out? SHE calculated everything! When she came back, she TOLD Antonia, "and it's under the $10,000" and Antonia said, "Great!" Way to teach Antonia financial budgeting and planning. (not!)

That is so true! I would like someone to give me $10,000 to redo a room in my home! That's a real good idea, lets give someone with $41,000 in debt, and no common sense about money, that much to redo a room! Real genuis at work!

Yeah, this "assignment" was one big joke. Everyone here has done a great job of listing the reasons why Antonia and the remodeling was nothing more than a sham. It's so transparent it's an insult. Antonia did nothing more than go along with the decorator's suggestions and then run a calculator. Wow, tough job!
