I finally saw the last half of this episode, and Doug's room looked a lot better on the show than it does to me in the before/after gallery. It truly would have looked nicer with a darker floor, though. I've always liked blue and brown together, so I very much liked his color scheme idea (but the valance looked rather purple to me).
Hilde's room was so awful. I generally don't like rooms where the bedspread and the wallpaper and the curtains are all the same pattern, and that's exactly what she did here. It looked cheap and rushed and looked ridiculous with their colonial looking furniture.
Yes, I agree, the Doug hissy fit seemed totally scripted and staged.
