Congrats to those who are moving on! I thought that EVERYONE had amazing projects for Round 1, and I can’t wait to see what Round 2 brings. I actually voted for a couple that were in the bottom too – LOVED that woven headboard!
The top 3 definitely earned it! Amazing!
The top three were truly fantastic. Blew me away. But I did also really, really LOVE the man chairs and headboard. I want both of them in my house. Like, today. Great job ladies!
Amazing projects!! I can’t wait to see what these talented creators come up with next week!
Congratulations karianne!! And to everyone who made it. I’m sorry to see anyone go, it was so hard to choose just 3. Looking forward to the next round.
