The plasterer was awesome and the tile guy was very good. I hope they replaced the screws holding the front gate to the wall because they were not grabbing. It even appeared one of the lag bolts on the balcony railing was doing the same.
19:50 - It's amazing what some people consider "limping along". Most people in the world will never know the luxury of this woman's version of barely getting by.
I liked seeing the differences between east and west coast work. Was very happy to hear the designer's stuff was temporary, as it did not match with small children at all. My ER nurse self wanted to curve those soapstone corners myself; I can see a bad forehead laceration on one of the kids running right into it. Overall, I really liked how the house turned out. Alfonso the plasterer is gifted and it was great to watch him work.
But the kids won't be small forever. When I bumped my head or scraped my knee at something in the house, i learned not to run in that area or be more careful. :)
I sincerely hope someone got the original tub, toilet, and sink from the bathroom..... god I would KILL to have such a unique original house like that! So sad that people want the same Mcmansion or MID CENTURY MODERN abomination. Now all i see in rehabs are open shelving in kitchens, gray/black/white color combos and "natural wood" touches. Give me ALL the orignal lathe and plaster, tile work, built in cabinets and shelves, and other small forgotten details of homes from 1950s and before. You can send the granite counters, open concepts, and vinyl siding to the graveyard.
Why don't they use gutters for the roof? There are always possibilities that rain water isn't entirely clean. I really like the design of the built-in kitchen cabinets and i'm wondering why they don't have much doors in the first floor.
nice project overall ! Learned a lot ! But why do these interior designer ALWAYS have to put some kind of zebra black and white sh... somewhere like its mandatory... ! also rug in the kitchen ? hmmm not sure !
They generally do two houses every year. One is in Massachusetts and includes the whole team, the other is usually (but not always) in another state and uses other contractors. Most of the team generally manages to visit the out-of-state house during the build. People keep complaining about the size of the houses they work on, and by working on other houses they can work on smaller houses in other states. I guess they can't keep everyone happy.
A real house, after all the cookiecutter, nouveau riche suburban garbage. Painful to see so many of the original features trashed. I hope someone salvaged all of it and lovingly restored them and sold it to someone who will cherish them. Unlike these people. Gutting a totally original house, "because we can!". The plasterers are amazing. Nothing beats handmade details. That interior decorator actually has taste. Dark wood and mustard with warm lighting, yummy. The animal print ruined it. So cheap and nasty.
A true work of art. But that real-estate property situation in LA is mind boggling. Thanks for posting!
Jesus christ, that Alfonso is bloody amazing.
This is one of my favorite episodes and 1 of my favorite homes.They did such a good job on it. Thank you
The house they are working on is a lost art. You don't see too many people who can do a Cake Frosting seam.

Bring Alfonzo to help you on your show. His work is amazing!

HELLLOOO!? 100%. 🤦🏽♀️
Alfonso will be missed. I hope he's doing great! 😘
Alfonso is amazing.
I cannot *BELIEVE* they gutted that pristine, all-original, butter-yellow kitchen with floor-to-ceiling tile. That act alone was criminal. 😢😢😢😢
The replicated 1930s bathroom upstairs is *very* nice. 👍🏾
Very tastefully renovated house with great respect for the home's history. Well done!

Gorgeous home.
The new kitchen is just so-so.

My sentiments exactly!
Thank you guys for good program! This is the only way i can see it from Sweden.
I think because the house is fairly small, not having doors makes it seem larger and feel more spacious.
Amzing!

I'd like to know more about that farmer's sink - that looks like about 42" wide.
Awesome
So the homeowner changed the cabinet door designs? Didn't they initially have that arch, from the cabinet shop mock-ups?
is there anything Alfonso CAN'T do ?!?!?!?! :D
The proportions of this house are so weird, like it was made for very short people, at some times some workers almost banged their head in the arches.

Really?...Lake View?
16:35 Hey guys, how do we furnish a tiny house? By bringing in huge bulky furniture that almost serves no purpose
I can't stand overkill of candles and cushions
I can’t stand you
The house wasn’t finished how was this the last episode
Grass lawn in Southern California. Funny, but sad.
No wrap party??
I forgot I hated this season cause there was no Tommy, Richard or Roger working on this project

Couldn't they take off their shoes, especially both homeowners were wearing socks only?
I don't like the yellow bathroom
Los Angeles an armpit. Dont come here. We have junkie. Homeless. And high prices
Ugly house with uglier interior. The craftsmanship was Impressive though!
