Southern, My late husband was a double amputee, in a wheelchair. As a chef he was crushed he couldn't be in the kitchen anymore. I agree the former kitchen was set for a wheelchair bound person or a little person. Loved that backsplash carried over to the plain wall.
I liked the color of blue on house so much better. Why not see if sold with the blue or what the buyers would have liked better first instead of spending more unneccessary money that in my opinion did not make it look better?
I feel if the paint store made a mistake in mixing the color they should have paid the $1000 to re-paint! BTW, $1000 seems really inexpensive to paint an exterior!!!!
Open wood shelving would look nice on that blank kitchen wall. Good call on repainting! That blue dated the house and made it look so dark and eerie. What I find interesting is the high price for things like the kitchen and bathroom renos are accepted right away and then the arguments happen over the smaller costs, like $100 or $1000. The staggers really do a great job.
It would be better for went right to the ceiling the backsplash set tile on the wall I thought you was going to say take the wheel out of put Notch into the next room
So many California homes have such blah exteriors. I guess simple and plain was less expensive in the '50s, '60's and '70s just as it is now. Perhaps they are cookie cutter tract homes constructed in neighborhoods that were developed by huge commercial construction companies. A limited choice of floor plans and exteriors for homebuyers to choose from resulted in bigger profits for the builders.
I’ve noticed that a lot on this show through the years-or overstated and looks distracting. I feel staging should be an accent feature not the main focal point!
With experience a contractor knows what the cost per square foot is for different remodeling projects. If his prices are too high he'll lose a lot of clients and if the prices are too low he'll go bankrupt. My husband and I have bought 6 different homes over the past 40 years--two were custom built, two we bought from different builders in condo developments that were in the beginning phases of construction, and two older homes--one of which we live in now that we've made cosmetic upgrades to. By now I have a fairly good idea of what many things will cost. The very first home we bought was remodeled by a house flipper, but no one at that time (1979) probably even knew what a flipped house was.
@@JustGigi319she wanted other colors-Tarek is the one that wanted those colors all the time-it’s when grey became popular everywhere, ending the beige phase. Not her fault
When you hire a painter and you pick Grey Smoke #55555, they paint it Paint Your Wagon Blue #55555 it's their problem, you complain and THEY repaint it, these two would know that, it wouldn't cost them anything to get what they picked. Oh the drama!!
Did anyone else notice that there is a problem with the recording exactly during the best part? This is the third one in a row that looked either sped up, shaky or messed up. Plus, I couldn't get the closed captions to turn off.

I tried grey in the late eighties. I was sick of it in a minute. Very cold and institutional. I don't want to live in a jail or hospital. Warm neutrals are so much more comfortable for me. No more grey for me--ever.
The only colors they ever use are white, beige and grey. I really don't think she knows much about design. I find her designs rather boring. but that is just my opinion.
You have to do that when you don't know who will be buying the home and what colors they love. You can always add your favorite colors in artwork, upholstery, accents and accessories. New home builders do the same thing with Spec homes. If it is a custom home builder he or she can consult with clients on colors and surfaces because it is their home from the beginning.
Some people have a good sense of design and some not so much. Tarek is great on the business end but Christina shines in her vision of the space and what materials will accomplish obtaining the fastest sale and the most profit. Christina knows exactly what people expect and are looking for in houses of any particular price range. She is confident in her design instincts and Tarek definitely appreciates her talent and contributions. You sound pouty and jealous.
@@lisas8244 You are the one who's being defensive. You don't know this woman. Besides, she couldn't design her way out of a damn paper bag! All of her stuff looks the same. It's modern, open floor concept, black grey white... I'm not a designer but I have a very keen eye for color and I can do 10 times better than this. I think many of us could.
I liked the blue much better than the cement-looking gray!
Same
Exactly...
Me too. In fact we just painted our house blue and love it. We’ve received lots of compliments from the neighbors.
Wow. Another grey house. How will people know it’s a flip without it being flipper grey?
Nah grey is more elegant
I am so glad that most of the time Tarek listened to Christina, because her choices are always on point.
My mom was in a wheelchair and all the counter and stove heights look like it was the height of someone wheelchair bound.

Yeah, they're a bit oblivious and ableist.

The blue looked awful. I can see why Christina wanted to change it.
They didn't have to, the paint place made a mistake and covered the costs to repaint.

Ideally add the original broadcast date, then everyone has context for how dated things are.
You would think on house painting day someone would be there to check the color.
Would the painter's not be responsible for the mistake?
At least video chat. It's not hard.
Good call, Christina
I liked the blue better.
Plain wall, let's put expensive tile there... Or you could just put a painting or some other art work there in the staging...
The Blue was much better. Now the Gray looks DRAB😣😣
All she ever chooses is grey
u r wrong...also white and beige...sometimes she goes nuts and picks black..lol
God bless you both ❣️🙏👏👏👏 can I get some of the furnitures please and thanks I love that living room sweet
Suite
So it's very important here that we thoroughly inspect the house. Frank inwardly rolls his eyes.
Frank already knew. IMHO, the contractors are the ones who need a show of their own.
That Kevin staging guy has horrible taste I mean those blue flowers in the bathroom uhhhhhhhh I cringe every time

9:12 They put a potted plant in the shower
Lol 😂
Only one season is available on discovery plus. Sadness...
Hello From Croatia Europa ❤️🌼🌺💐
What I want is to see if they sell the houses...i didn't know properties in California cost that much.
The only thing the blue house color needed was white shutters and it would have been wonderful white or gray.
It would be better for went right to the ceiling the backsplash set tile on the wall I thought you was going to say take the wheel out of put Notch into the next room

The houses there are so ugly. lol
Why does pratically every house stink? Why do the owners want half a Million dollars but won't clean the house first? Makes no sense
The staging is tacky 😕 surprised Christine would put up with that🤔

It looks better in gray.
Set a painted a hebblewhite inside mount
Tarek is so much nicer to christina in this video.. I wonder when in their timeline this is.
Frank the Contractor being making up his own prices...

blue was better
I loved the blue ; why do they think every house has to be shades of grey and white .
because Christina wants everything in gray/black/white... she has no imagination most of the time. Her designs are all boring, cookie cutter stuff

I so agree! If the contractor or the workmen make mistakes, they straighten it out on their dime and their time. I wouldn't pay for that ever.
Why can't they upload more? Please?

same color grey :D.. cabinets as always white
Can't believe they do this in 41 days or is that tv magic?
Using undocumented workers for labor helps.

Blue was much better
OMG-why do they continue bringing fake ppl to give opinions as if.....just show us the after and tell us how much u sold it for
👍🏻
Why is Christina ALWAYS wearing F-ing sunglasses ???
She's too cool for the room--NOT!
The staging is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OWCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop using white in the kitchen so boring
I like the gray color better

Selfish much? I hope nobody in a wheelchair needed to get down that sidewalk you blocked off with your sign...
When I was in Real Estate, it was not legal to block a sidewalk.

Christina LOVES to waste $... and the blue looked better...
Boy does she ever love to spend money! I've made that comment myself. I'm more impressed with what I can save instead of what I can spend.
if she picked. the problem is: she didn't, and it was the painter's mistake.
That was a ugly blue
ANY shade of blue is better than ALL shades of grey.
Why waste money staging
OMG this is a total repeat. they re-uploaded this video - I swear I just saw this on here a couple months ago!
This is one of those channels that uploads hijacked videos.
@@lisaburnette6850 Lol, no it isn't. It's HGTV UK. There are two channels sponsored by HGTV. They upload these shorter videos for the ad revenue.
