Sadly the kitchen is still a disaster. Instead of that useless breakfast bar there should have been more storage cupboards & counter tops.
Agree
I'm just here for Anthony 🤤🤤
Clueless! You don't paint over beautiful old woodwork in a period house
She ruined the woodwork of the house. I'm in my 30's and I would love to have beautiful woodwork in my house. Kitchen was what was keeping the house from selling and still is.
Some was already painted
I really liked this make over. However Iwould have put a full size counter in and simple shelves on the wall above the new counter, to make the existing kitchen into a galley kitchen.
NOT AGAIN! STOP PAINTING OVER THE WOODWORK. It is coming in big-time now.
Now, yes but back then, not so much. Victorian era people use to paint over coving (crown molding) AND woodwork and it was bright colors compared to today's white/natural standard. Even further back, ancient Greek times, statues used to also have garish painted colors and none were white.
This was a lovely couple and they had a great sense of humor. I hope they found the right home for their growing family. I did not like the kitchen remodel. The narrow prep space was useless that was added was useless. A 3'x 2' butcher block island would have been a better choice.
I also hate the giant fork and spoon "art" in the kitchen. blah!
The kitchen upgrade is rediculous. That counter is way too small. If they added lower cabinets or a pantry cupboard that would have been practical. Sofie likes the color green way too much. I hated the bedroom.
Painting the original woodwork is a crime. Someone will spend hours stripping that off in the future.
Just to sell to a younger buyer sometimes the younger upscale buyer want that Victorian/ Edwardian wood work. I guess she did n realize that it took skilled craft men to make those doors and window casings and frames. Along those that did plaster work. I also noticed that one of the ceilings they were painting white was either a tin ceiling or a plaster ceiling that had been made to look like tin that took talent of a very good plaster. Also the drapes that she chose did not fit the room they were in they were to modern and on a rod. I know that replace ing the original drapes they could not do but she could have pick some that fir the style of the house. and above everything she painted everything gray. what I would have done was to not paint the rooms the original dark colors but a lighter version of the original colors. If you look a a real Victorian room colors they were dark greens, blues, dark yellows and reds or wallpaper. all they walls where not a muddy gray.
@@janetyoung6097 I think it's pretty offensive to assume that a "younger buyer" can't appreciate craftsman. It has nothing to do with age. It has to do with selling the fantasy -- and the original owners weren't doing it with their lack of style, and that crappy kitchen. Buyers want to feel like they can walk in, and easily recreate the beauty that sold them on the home. Since the house isn't decorated, they'll think "oh...I don't even know how to make this look nice, as well as be functional, and apparently neither do the current owners." Everywhere we go, we're seeing white walls, and minimalism, so for someone who isn't a designer, or isn't creative, (regardless of their age), they don't know how to decorate a craftsman home so that it's inviting, bright, and cozy.
You know the irony? Since MCM / scandanavian design is so popular, right now, a lot of the furniture which would make this house shine is cheaper than the currently-trending furniture. I'm really very sad that rather than teaching people to work with what they have, this show likes to obliterate it, and spend a lot to do so. People spend millions to have real wood, and crown molding. This show is like, "nah, let's make it look cheap!"
Should have painted the walls instead.
I loved this couple and their response to the design work. Great show.
somebody stop this "designer" from wasting so much money on linens and curtains...OMG..$250 for sheets! and the kitchen "upgrade" is ridiculous and not practical. Living room is gorgeous
Over $4,000 for the upgrades?!!!! Seriously!!! It was mostly paint!!!
They get their money back from sales, especially the ones that's over askin price.
@@jimjimmyjames59 Paints are cheap, they're paying for the construction.
I agree but unfortunately people now today have no Imagination. They want model homes. If it was me I would keep the packaging and than return the linens once the house is sold & get my money back.
@@AlexS-oj8qf The construction?!! You mean unexceptional pine molding, a composite shelf ($150 - his words), and a composite slab on an already existing table?!!!
I wouldn't want a house with grey or green walls or with a breakfast bar up against a wall.
The designer has only one look in a lot of her videos. She never shows an Oriental, Mediterranean or other decor besides contemporary minimalist modern... That kitchen shelf looks only about 10"-12" deep, not big enough to hold much...
“Designer “ is a very generous word. She knows absolutely nothing, only knows how to read cue cards 👍🏻 and you’re absolutely correct.. only one style of homes are shown
I like to problem solve, it’s one of the fun parts of decorating. Would there have been a better solution to adding an eat in table to the kitchen instead of a long bar facing the wall? Ideas?
I would also like to see the second bedroom and the bathroom.
You don't need a big house to have children.
From the intro, the couple didn’t say they needed a bigger house, they needed a less expensive house so the money saved could go into expenses to raise the kid(s)
Nooooo. Don't ever paint woodwork in a home with good wood. Should be illegal. It's going to be so much work to get that awful paint off the wood to restore it.
I agree, Susan. Wood is beautiful and getting rare. You can easily brighten a room with lighter walls, furnishing and window treatments.
My home sat on the market 90 days in the Fall without an offer, our real estate agent wanted me to paint the family room cherry wood - bead-board, chair rail, built-in cabinets, ceiling beams, thick mantel shelf. The dark cherry wood was appropriate for the colonial rustic room with a large brick fireplace. I agreed to paint only the bead-board and chair rail, broke my heart. The house finally sold in the spring, the new owner painted everything white. What a shame.
@@marylut6077 I had beautiful, 3/4" solid hickory cabinets in my house. The people who bought it had them painted white. It was a bit upsetting to me but my husband reminded me it was their house and they could do anything they wanted to it. That's true, but it still made me sad.
The editor always blurs the art pictures on the wall. If the copyright law forces them to do that, it's just plain silly. These are reality programs photographing other people's homes. If the person actually has that painting on the wall, the camera should be allowed to show that.
She is pretty rude to home owners. Paints beautiful wood and no idea where she shops but linens should never cost that much.
Painting vintage woodwork is not something I support.
Yes, she is rude to home owners, this happens throughout the series. A little bit of that can be funny but sometimes she oversteps. I wish she was more acknowledging of all these peoples accomplishments.
I think she softens in later seasons. Season 1 she's viscious! I couldn't stand her 😂
Such a cute couple! I wish them the best.
They have it wrong. Raise your young children in smaller house and when they're all grow up move into bigger house. That way you'll have less space to clean, to look after, and your children will bond.
Sophie, let’s see your house 👍
She lived in a castle, her father's a landed gentry in UK.
Lovely little family. I wish them well. Xx
Arrh painting out the wood. So sad. Love the bedroom though
Wow! Emily came to LIFE when she saw the changes!
Painting that plate rail in the dining room was a mistake!
I was expecting more in the kitchen. That shallow wall bar didn’t really address the lack of prep space. But overall nice transformation. Anyway, this house is more than enough to raise a family! I don’t know what’s stopping this couple. Lol
Finances. The intro said they were moving to an area where houses were less expensive, I assume the money they save on mortgage payments will be used for raising the kid(s)
It looked as if there was another room beyond the kitchen, You could see a TV.
I think they missed showing the nursery and the bathroom upstairs
What a sweet couple.
Scrub the stair hand rail while you’re standing there. Its filthy 🤮
Damn, that "flea market found" is my dream furnitures 😍😍
Awful kitchen..
It must have been remodeled..
Move the fridge and range to the other wall and a cupboard in between.. and make a pantry and cupboard at sides of sink..
Why waste $250 on linens and curtains? Just go to the Goodwill, Sally Anne, Bibles For Missions or St. Vincent de Paul and for under $250 you can get curtains, bedding, table cloths you name it. Do not EVER Paint WOOD! I can hear historians screaming in agony right now.
Everyone is different so not everyone likes wood. I like the white wood look.
It is a beautiful home.
Then why didn't it sell?
The house was built in 1906 in the Arts and Craft movement.
And it makes me sad to see there was no effort to keep this charming character of this period home.
@@susanholl5994 I know when ever she gets into a period style house be it Victorian, Edwardian that has a lot of wood features with a lot of wood doors and frame with the rosettes on the top of the frame. the first thing she will do is to suggest to the owners to paint all that beautiful trim white. Because all that trim does not look sleek and modern and she does with same with interior furnishings with lighting and furniture. Instead of doing a sympathetic update to the house with some modern updates. that show reminds me of the remodel show twin brothers. they would do the same thing they would go into a period house rip out all the plaster wall for no reason replace them with dry wall, put in modern lighting and furnishings and totally change the total aesthetics of the house. Jut because they did not like a beautiful plaster wall. I could see if the wall had plaster falling of was cracked but just to replace it for no good reason other they did not like them was a shame.
All those people needed to do is go to a nice furniture store and pick out new living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture.
Thank you for the upload. :-)
Why aren't people taking their shoes off? So weird being in Toronto and not doing it. Or is it normal not to take their shoes off?
But.... you don’t show bathroom.. this is a shame!
This isa part of the house too, why don’t you?
In every episode = same = no bathroom...
There's one episode, 'Bathroom Blunders' that shows a bathroom and another that I just watched the other day, 'Charm Bypass' about a family that wanted to move to Florida. The mother had a SAD thing going on and had decorated a bathroom in orange.
Bathroom blunders is under the unsellables episodes
This is a gorgeous house and is worthy of a proper kitchen renovation. Also, rads need to be bled and after that counter top and rad cover have been installed, how do you get at it?
Pea soup green in the LR and DR AND even ceiling. Painted over but wait, there it was again in the master bedroom. What were those little doors in the back of the dining room? Pass through, china cupboard, dumb waiter........The dining table was way too long for the room.
Dark walls and couches that look like stuffed rhino's and usually so dark.
And the dining room window looks out on a brick wall. Plant something outside.
I can’t believe you painted all that trim! 👎👎
What is the built in wall cupboard in the dining room and the small door in the bedroom called?
That's a big place for the city! Crazy to sell that!
I kept rewinding to see the butcher block; never did see it.
Some of these sellers so have their heads on the sand
What on earth is the big black thing on the wall in the kitchen?!
Chalkboard. Ridiculous
whats the obsession with the pale green walls...i would like to see good looking yellows, browns
When was this filmed? In the current market a 3 bedroom detached house in Toronto would be worth millions!
2008
Kind of a lame title.
Houses as contraception are the latest medical innovation! It's a non-envasive way of ensuring women can't get pregnant unless the live in a bigger house! It's the way of the future!
It's beautiful!
Horrible green room
That residence looks CHEAP and not in a good way. People want to feel like they’re getting a lot for THIER money.
Uummmm.....weird reasoning
Do this woman ever stop throwing shapes???
Huh?
I think they meant 'shade' 😂
I cannot understand why anyone would want to bring more kids into this turbulent world. I'd never allow any progeny of mine to exist in this world that is in flux.
Give them the chance to make this world a better place.
In the beginning, they zoom in on the unfinished trim on the floor by the stove, they never finished it. Lol.
