Has anyone seen the new interiors program on RTE with Ventura Design? The cost of the rooms is outrageous! They're nice enough rooms, but very basic and all look the same. She never sticks to budget and is almost giddy overspending. I think it's particularly bad that Arlene is basically lining her own pockets with the overspend by only using the Ventura furniture. Makes me shudder to think what Pippa has spent on her house with them, although I'm sure she gets a good discount for the promo!

I'm not a Pippa fan, but she has come on numerous times over the years when people say stuff like how do you do it all- kids, house businesses,or you look great or your home is always so clean bla bla bla an she has said about all the help they get.

Any home project she has done she's had it done by company and yes probably costs, what i can only imagine, is an eye watering amount. But she doesn't hide it.

All of her garden and landscaping was done by a company, her guest room- i think was done by Ventura and her nursery the same.

I think I'd have a problem with it if she was coming on claiming she was grouting tiles in the bathroom or hanging wall paper. I'd be more hands on myself and like to get stuck in, but if she wants to outsource these things leave her at it! She has the money( don't know how with the and state of POCOS jackets and jeans!!) But if she has it,let her spend how she wants!!

They are very spendy , They live a very high cost life , the house and garden, nights out in the Shelbourne , holidays in 5 star hotels, Chanel bags. You would wonder how solid Poco is? I am not convinced that the new shoe shop is a great idea either. I like Pippa and wish her well, she is a huge success , I just hope she doesn’t spend her way through all the money.

Couldn’t agree more. The price to renovate one room is absolutely eye watering. Of course using mostly her own furniture-she can charge what she likes. Tbh I would be very surprised if Pippa paid for the nursery and whatever else she’s gotten yer one to do. This is prime influencer free stuff, il scratch your back if you scratch mine. Pretty sure she did Vogues house too, definitely done either for free or with a hefty discount in return for the publicity. Here we are talking about it so it clearly works. I don’t like yer one or her work to be honest. Looks all the same, nothing original about it and absolutely not worth the price tag.

I thought the nursery looked a bit like a play centre that you might find in a zoo. There was way too much going on. A nursery looks fabulous with gentle colours. I guess its really just an advert for Ventura Interiors. It is a very busy design!!

Same. I prefer a much more paired back nursery with more calming and subtle features, that was too in your face. Very Ace Ventura pet detective, see what I did there 😆🥁

You would wonder how long she will actually get out of that decor - a year or two max I’d say.

Totally agree, outrageous cost. I wouldn’t rate yer one either, she actually bugs me. Haven't liked any of her bland designs.

What is her appeal? I find her totally unrelatable. Are people such sheep that they want to emulate her life by wearing a sweatshirt with her name on it. And how is she so wealthy? Is it from family wealth?

i agree i always considered people who buy her or any of these influencers stuff total sheep. i dont get it. her stuff is wayyy overpriced also.
 
she made her money from the fashion factories mostly, 100 a ticket, approx 900 people attending per weekend. was on fri, sat and sun. they were on nearly every month at one point. the goodie bag people got at it was all sponsored by brands so she only had to pay to rent out the hotel venue where they were held. also the jeans are quite expensive at 100 a pair and she sold about 150k of them.
