OMG two minutes I love you
Totally unrelated but I love how you still didn't quit youtube or tiktok yet by people on the internet stupidity. I am really impressed by your strength to hold on to your sanity and your one last braincell lol. Love the videos!!!! ❤️
I'm surprised that you still have some braincells after watching these people on the internet
Please make a video on the tragedeigh baby names next!
Funky.... can you do an internet report about people pretending to be emo and depressed its very VERY infectious so wear a hazmat suit pls also love the content
Well.. We in Germany have a word appropriate for this situation: Verschlimmbessern. The act of trying to make something better, but making it worse instead.
Ah, we can always count on Germans to have the perfect word for any given situation.
I love the German language so much! 😍
Schon ewig nicht mehr gehört, muss ich wieder in meinen aktiven Wortschatz bringen
As a fellow German I sadly have to use this work at least once a week while either seeing bullshit home renovations like this or about something that happens at work. It's actually quite painful at this point
Pfuscher Verschlimmbessern halt alles 😅😂😢
Hearing that woman say she was gonna turn the fireplace from hobbitcore to cottagecore then show the most colored by crayon nastiest fireplace shook me to my WTFcore
I don't think she even knows what cottage core is, she just heard it and just equates it to “good”
The original fireplace was cottage core! Like if I say that in a house in the woods, I couldn't be shocked. It now looks like they just lazily smeared white paint over it. So chunky and ugly and mismatched.
legit looked like it was straight out of skyrim at the end
What also kills me is that the house they destroyed also had a pool that wasn't used and was filled with dirt for a potential indoor garden, which sounds so pretty. THEY FILLED IT WITH CEMENT. I wanted to cry 💀
(Edit: nvm the pool was not the studio space, but you can see it for a second here 12:45 and imagine how pretty it would be if it was still a garden)
@@nyxxie-pooh I knooowww!! I saw another TH-camr cover these guys and watching the transition from the garden to the cement was heartbreaking. Like, it looked so pretty before!!!
We call them "askholes"
They ask for everyone's opinion and then don't listen to anyone.
Oooo I'm keeping that.
@@HiddenDarkHMditto
Nein
This is why my state has such strict historical building laws. These people are the reason we have to wait a month to see if we can replace the cracked front door
Which state? I gotta move there. That means I can find a house that hasn't been "Fixed"
@@djbronze9179 pretty much all of New England. The colonial houses are a beast to care for but they’re also very protected by every town.
@@quinn9841 well like the Devil, it seems I’m gonna eventually head down to Georgia then
I'm sooo bitter that the people who can actually afford to buy houses are the people with 0 taste and enough motivation to destroy it.
Exactly. Like that million dollar bathroom you’re JOKING YOURE ACTUALLY JOKING
@@AvesmacK FOR REAL!! MY JAW DROPPED WHEN I SAW THE AFTER MATH OF THE BATHROOM!😭😭
@@AvesmacK Im buying it back just so I can get rid of their awful renovations...
This! I'd do anything for a period home 😭
I'm.sure there are lots of people who csn afford to buy houses who DON'T do this. They are just the ones who do not post pics and videos of every waking moment online..
What angers me so much is that those woodworks, spiral staircases, ancient tiles etc are VALUABLE, they are elements that actually increase the price of the house, they're making their house LESS valuable and interesting by making it "modern" and minimalist. WHY WOULD YOU SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON A UNIQUE HOUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO DESTROY THE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT IT??
Not only that it’s a historical part of the home and is important to architectural history. We went through this before in the 1970s making things more”modern” and now it’s near impossible (I’m being dramatic) to study 1940s and 1950s homes.
I’m honestly wondering if the point about the internet interaction and $$ could be a bigger factor here.. like the couple that did the many atrocities to that house literally admitted they made a profit off the engagement and then when funkyfrog brought up ppl doing that w furniture it makes me wonder if they’re actually making like a good amount of money from the outrage content even on the houses, to the point that could be more than the loss in potential profit of removing these features. If that makes sense? that would be even sadder if all this is happening in the name of social media outrage money
That spiraled staircase was gorgeous 😭 rip beautiful staircase
I felt physical pain watching those stairs go
Right?! And it’s cheaply done too. It literally won’t hold up the market for resale, let alone in 4 years.
House flippers are just awful. My dad owns a constuction company and he loves them because they fuck up so much shit that he always has local sidework fixing the houses they "Improved".
A local "flipper" in my area completely ruined 3 properties and unsuspecting buyers have run into literally thousands of dollars in issues, due to extreme short cuts and corrupt local Council. Our neighbours are suck paying 30K for a new septic system, when the original one is less than five years old literally exploded all over their back yard and yet the council "signed" off on it. On another property, the same idiot placed foam on the exterior walls and masked it with fresh paint. The new buyers got stuck with a 50K bill having to rebuild the exterior of the home completely and deal with the black mould it created on the inside of the property.
A trail of destruction followed this idiot where ever he went. He's got his Karma now because he's pushing up daisies.
I audibly gasped at the "remodeled" stairs of that one house. That spiral staircase was BEAUTIFUL! They could have easily kept it and still have given it a modern touch. Honestly the only thing I didn't like in the house was the carpet, everything else looked SO good!
I did like the staircase and carpet, but I am old school.
I thought I would replace the carpet with hardwood and rugs but those stairs were the soul of the house.
@@MplsMavendidn't she even say in the video "the stairs pull all the focus" or something 😅 yes gurl thats the point!! Why buy a house when you don't like the main character 😢
holy fuck the new stairs are so fucking ugly man
Turning beautiful Victorian houses into modern garbage dwellings is like shredding the Mona Lisa, taping the scraps back together and calling it a masterpiece.
modern art lol
Damn it don’t give them ideas!!!
That fireplace in particular is giving me that one repainting of Jesus Fresco vibes
Well painting over the mona Lisa with white paint and throwing away the frame
At least you can make an argument that it's modern art and a statement piece.
anytime a victorian house gets blanked modernized a queer person cries
Real 😭
Can confirm I cried
I'm not gay, yet I cried
Me fr, I cry everytime one of those house get destroyed
ME. IM CRYING SO HARD RN
What pains me the most is that IF I ever have enough money to buy a house, I would want it to be a little more on the vintage side, but these “renovators” are destroying them one by one, that I’m afraid that by the time I can afford one, I most likely will never find it
Im expecting the houseflipper industry to become an Ouroboros, where a flipper buys a house from another flipper, flips into into whatever trend is in at that exact moment, then sell it to the next flipper a few months later, who will rip all up to replace with whatever trend is in at *that* exact moment.
Hi, German here!
We do NOT approve of whatever happened to that poor fireplace. I personally do not want to be associated with it and would greatly encourage looking up what German Schmier should look like (it can be nice, I promise 😭)
As a fellow german, I agree with you.
We do NOT want to be associated with whatever this is and they called 'german schmier'. 😬
Deutsche Tränen tränken die billigen Click laminat Böden in dieses "modernen" "Häusern"
Hi, I'm German too and I totally agree!!
Another German here, I totally agree with you. That fireplace is a crime against humanity for it burns my eyes with it’s ugliness
Another German here- totally agree
I am German. I come from a family who's been commercially building and renovating houses for 96 years. Watching this fireplace getting slowly, graphically mutilated like this was more than I could take. Please excuse me while I grab myself a beer, a cigarette and a therapy appointment,
I am so sorry you’ve experienced this horror, but I must compliment your Catra pfp
@@Mazygolucky, I second both sentiments
I completely agree. When I bought my house the downstairs wood paneling in the bedroom was cool wood grain.. but got painted a dull grey. And I hate modern vibe.
As another German, we do not claim that Schmier.
Furchtbar! Niemand in Deutschland würde das machen...
16:26 I WANT TO CRY OMG THAT BATHTUB WAS SO PRETTY :(
Not even a girl and I’d take a princess bath in that
....I shouldn't have been reading the comments because now I'm dreading what's going to happen to a poor bathtub 😭
@@lillianfulgham9280 😔
I bought a house that was built in 1906.
When we rebuilt the bathroom, we removed the 1930s and put in early 1910s… pull-chain, high tank toilet, clawfoot tub, and a dark wooden “vanity” made from an antique dresser with s vessel sink.
We slightly modernized the tile by using a tan/beige-ish tile with accent tiles, but the fixtures are what people notice every time.
Our basement bathroom, we made it look like a cabin bathroom with gray wood-look tiles in the shower and on the main flooring, but in the shower stall, the flooring is river rock with dark brown grout. Everyone that’s seen it, says how much they love it.
There’s a way to “marry” modern with vintage or antique.
I have a 1922-vintage house, and the bathroom was badly remuddled in the 1970s. When I had it remodeled, I tore out the ruined plaster (the remuddler chiseled tracks in it for wiring, then covered it with 1/4” drywall for the new wall surface), rebuilt the closed-off laundry chute, had a more period-appropriate vanity and wall cabinet built, and had Subway tile (yes, the brand name) with the fancy trim pieces as accents and baseboards, so it looks period appropriate for the house. Plus, the exterior wall is insulated now! 😄 It’s beautiful, and well-functioning! And it’s still only 5-1/2 feet by 6-1/2 feet! I won’t speak of the horror of plumbing I found that the remuddler had executed for the bathtub. I shudder….
@@susangrande8142 oh… trust me when I say we found horrors in our bathroom remodel too.
Beneath the 5ft cast iron apron front tub, the only thing holding up the 500lb tub, were the floor joists. And there was an electrical line pinched between that tub and one of the joists. That was the worst thing we found though. The plumbing was workable.
@@MsAubrey 😱😱 ⚡️ Oh my!! I’m glad the tub stayed on the floor, and didn’t fall through! I found other horrors the remuddler perpetrated on the house, and have corrected most of them now. A less bad one was that he stripped the paint off the door to the linen closet in the hall by the bathroom, and varnished it. It was always supposed to be painted. I haven’t repainted it yet; other projects are more important.
@@susangrande8142 I’m also glad that the porcelain was in tact inside the tub, or we could have been electrocuted!
the worst part about flippers is that they cut corners, dont know how to properly do anything, and use the cheapest materials possible:/
the light fixture on a foam beam is CRAZY. My grandfather was an architect and added on a living room to my home. Real wood ceiling beams and they still came loose with the weight of the fans since they weren’t made for them (my dad installed the fans years later). that foam beam is going to cause whoever owns that house tons of problems
I watched a show where a flipper left one of his “flipped”houses with a colony of bees, and sold it for almost double the original price. He was also mean to his wife so I didn’t expect the product to be good, but HOW DO YOU JUST LEAVE A HOUSE WITH BEES IN IT AND EXPECT PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE?
My childhood home, where my parents still live, had a horrible previous owner. My family just calls him ‘DIY guy’ and we complain about him constantly. My parents have lived there for over 20 years and are still fixing his mistakes. The worst thing found so far was the very important beam in the ceiling that he cut a chunk out of to fit a chimney for a wood stove. He braced the metal chimney to the remains of the ceiling beam. After my parents removed the stove, which was at the base of ladder stairs that were easy to fall down, the ceiling immediately began sagging.
I just noticed that they also don't hire nor consult professionals because not only would a professional charge them, they would also tell them "no". I really do wonder if these houses need to be deemed safe by some authority before they can be sold because that foam beam is definitely safety issue
If people stopped buying them the problem wouldn't exist
I hate when flippers say “it’s our home, we can do whatever we want with it”, then sell the place. It’s not a home then, you don’t plan on living there.
Agreed. If they're not even planning on living there, then it's not even THEIR home!
People do that?
@@Lilbluedragon I know an awful person who just buys stuff from the thriftshop that looks exciting, gives it a whitewash, then chucks it back to the thriftshop.
Everything ruined, instantly.
As they literally destroy cultural artifacts and heritage homes. Some of these places could genuinely have been and should have been put on heritage preservation lists. Just because you buy something doesn’t remove your responsibility of care. Capitalism rotting brains from the inside out 😩. Demolishing any semblance of culture and history is so tasteless
@@Widdekuu91 why even do that?? 😭
9:47 I thought “oh they’re gonna take out the original shelving and put in industrial shelving to hold paint supplies, that’s not that bad.” I don’t know how they made it LESS functional.
I was so tired of living in cream and beige houses that when I moved into my own place every room ended up different colours. I was half tempted to have friends over and throw paint balloons at the walls to decorate my study
My mom is obsessed with the whole gray thing to a point she took our dining table and sanded away the red/brown wood stain and painted it white with a black top, did the same to our chairs and put a gray cover over the cushions, and is currently doing the same to our coffee table.
Like, I get that's her taste, but it took _years_ of begging for her to finally agree to _at least_ hang up different colored curtains for different seasons. We had one (1) year where we finally did a color scheme for Christmas that wasn't blue and silver.
I've told her that if a colorblind person saw our downstairs, there wouldn't be a difference in what they see vs what we see, and she wonders why I was so adamant on getting colorful bedding, wood furniture, and painting my walls green in my bedroom 💀
I hate it too. Every apartment I live in is just the same ugly colorset. It's one of the reasons I collect art at anime conventions and paper my walls with prints. Maybe it's cringey but you know what it's not? BEIGE.
Why does nobody want a purple house!? Who ever said grey was the in thing, needs to be covered in paint balls
The way the couple replaced the BEAUTIFUL spiral staircase with a PLAIN wooden staircase shocks me
Ikr my soul died 💔 🥲 I'd love that fairy tale staircase.
Minecraft stairs...actually people can make way better houses in Minecraft.
It's not even a good staircase either 😭 it's built like a sideways ladder
The stairs the floor the walls were buthiful 😢
But they removed it😢😢😢😢
people make their lovely victorian/older houses into total gray and beige dumps and ruin their homes and they’re like “this is so #minimalist #natural #beigecore” as if they didn’t put the neighborhood value down by like thirty grand 😭
Your biggest concern is property value...?
@@msjkrameyit’s a pretty big concern, you know.
@@msjkrameyproperty value is one of, if not THE most important parts of selling your house
@soloanima1 we're not just talking about selling houses though. There's the waste, the noise pollution, destruction of historical architecture, often health hazards from cheap renovations, etc
@@msjkramey *eh, you can’t acknowledge that if you’re too broke when you’re old*
“Had to walk under stairs” are we sims now.
At least Sims can feel and express emotions 😂
I kept trying to go to bed but I kept stopping to go back and get a glass of water until I eventually just passed out face down, ass up, in my hallway so you decide.
there was once a beautiful mansion that looked like the taj mahal with this large golden dome that was for sale in my college town. The outside had a large cement wall around the perimeter called , "El Encanto." (The Enchantment) someone bought it, and we thought they would keep it as is. They completely demolished that gorgeous mansion, and rebuilt a boring modern house with more roof than anything else. my mom and i call it "El Desencanto" (The Disenchantment). It still makes my blood boil thinking about it.
I would write them angry letters CONSTANTLY.
My grandpa died last year and his kids ended up selling the like 100ish year old house to the next door neighbor, and today me and a bunch of relatives were invited over to see how the renovations were going and I could’ve wept tears of joy.
The basics of the renovation consist not of ugly aesthetic changes but updating the plumbing and electrical. Hardwiring in new ceiling lights into the dark dining room.
Ripping out the carpet that was everywhere to reveal to literally everyone’s delight gorgeous pine wood floors in perfect condition that they’re giving a natural stain and leaving exposed throughout the house.
Preserving the integrity of various quirky rooms while giving them a new function like making this one weird platform + cabinet situation into a function daybed and set of bookshelves.
They even preserved the old turtle bathroom wallpaper that everyone loved so they could frame pieces of it to hang back up.
And the new owner was showing us all these wonderful secrets of the house she discovered as she was tearing out bathroom walls.
It’s just so relieving that the person who bought the house gives and shit about it’s character and actually knows what they’re doing
EEEK this is so wonderful !! also turtle wallpaper sounds so cute omg and i love the idea of keeping a square and framing it !! that’s such a cute way to immortalize it
This is the good news I needed. Hats off to them. Condolences for your grandfather's passing
gives and shitted when it found some secret hacks in the bathroom
Oh my, bless that neighbour for having good taste!
Hearing this is SO relieving after this video!
I HATE people who destroy perfectly good houses and “renovate” them. They make it SUCH a down grade😭
even phil dunphy couldn't sell these houses
If that lady tries to sell that house I would be LIVID. I would be like "So I need to replace this staircase with the original one?" and then to not start fights I'd be like "Who decided to remove the staircase that was a stupid decision. The person who did it had no brains in their head." hopefully she'd be at least smart enough to know I'm talking about her, but I doubt it.
Everytime i see anything victorian/dark academia get erased i lose 5 years off my life
@@th1rt3n_tn49 The only time I would ever think to remove wood from a room if the thing feels like a 1930s man's smoking room. I would rather concrete prison cell.
Me too.
RE: painted wood; I think some people equate wood mill work with the pine we use to build structures - purely utilitarian and widely available. In reality, a lot of these homes have either old growth woods that are no longer available, or use woods that are so cost-prohibitive nowadays, that replicating the finishes would be nigh-impossible. Once you paint wood, it’s kind of ruined forever. Paint cannot replicate the depth and complexity of a wood’s nature grain. Furthermore, a lot of these woods have achieved patina, think English Oak mill work, that take YEARS to obtain.
I've never heard of "as colorless as a lithuanian hockey team" but I'm here for it
I'mma be honest, I didn't understand that joke
House flippers are the reason why the market is so trash now. They use the worst material, kill the aesthetic of good homes, and then sell same homes for a million as if they somehow improved it.
It's actually not.
It's true. I live in a low income area known for being "poor." The houses in the area are almosy all 100+ years old. This means that while there is a lot of gorgeous, historic architecture, there are also a lot of foundational issues in these houses.
Ever since the housing market went crazy within the past few years, the area has been getting majorly preyed upon by flippers. These houses get listed for very cheap or are bought with cash through off market sales from predatory flipping agents (I get these ads in the mail constantly, offering me cash for my home), which are then gobbled up by flippers. The flippers then rip out all original charm (wood floors ripped out and replaced with vinyl plank, carpet placed over hardwood, wallpaper removed and walls painted gray, original wood fixtures and furnishings painted white, original kitchens and bathrooms gutted and replaced with cheap tile, cabinets, and appliances, the list goes on and on), but they fix none of the actual pressing (mostly foundational) issues with the home. While looking for houses, we saw houses where you could see light from the outside through holes in the basement walls, floors as uneven as a funhouse, giant cracks in foundation walls, walls visibly slanted at an angle, and so much more.
You could see the purchase history of these homes, where they would be bought for $50-100k and relisted for $200-300k. I was house hunting for 2 years, and in that time I would constantly see houses go up on the market for an affordable price, only to be bought then relisted 1 month later for way more money in a way uglier state. It was an incredibly frustrating, depressing, disheartening experience.
We finally managed to buy a house, but it was because we were able to buy it from someone who was actually moving, not a flipper. The house is over 100 years old, and while some of the original charm has clearly been removed over the years, we still have all of the original woodwork, and the original wood floors that were covered (not all of them were covered) are under the carpet, able to be restored. I was only 23 when I bought it (24 now), and my mortgage only costs $200 more than what I was paying in rent at an apartment. The fact that this affordable housing option is constantly taken away from people who would otherwise be able to afford it prior to the flip absolutely infuriates me.
But yes, in conclusion, flippers are worthless leeches.
Facts. We brought an old home which needed to be redone - it had been redone some 10 years ago, and the tiles and paint just didn't vibe with us. At any rate, we mostly repainted, changed the tiles, put more power outlets. It's been a long project that we do mostly ourselves and it's expensive and tiring and frustrating. Sometimes my husband would start saying that we should've bought an already renovated apartment. But with all those flippers slapping a coat of paint on a mouldy wall, covering up leaky pipes and straight up selling "electronics included" that turn out not to work, I'm so happy I wasn't left at the mercy of someone's sloppy work, who charged me 25% more for it.
@@jnicole2440 Elaborate?
I think flippers definitely contribute but I think it's landlords and rental corporations that are the biggest problem
"this is much more family friendly" doesnt add any railing whatsoever
Fr tho if a small child lives there Ik they’re gonna fall off and get hurt eventually 😭
I don't think it was finished
fr, plus its smaller so if multiple people/kids are trying to get up/down at the some time there's a much higher chance they'll trip over each other and fall
Ope, toddler overboard
The whole having a construction zone in the house part seemed extra family friendly /s

the mansion 😩😩😩 like I'm not a fan of super dark wood either but just giving the wood a fresh epoxy finish and maaaybeee replacing the carpet with hardwood floors or parquet could've done soo much for the house while keeping its original appeal. BUT THIS??? REPLACING THE STAIRS SHOULD BE A FEDERAL CRIME
As a person living in Siberia, I am offended by your statement. Our prisons look much more colorful than these bleached houses.
LMAOO
Ngl they probably do 💔
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You win. Period.
In Germany for old Houses, there is this wonderful thing called „Denkmalschutz“ and it practically forbids you to change anything into modern and strict rules for renovation.
we sweds have something simular
Heck, even in Brazil we have something like that, called Iphan.
Italy has something similar as well
Moin :3
i'm pretty sure a mayor was literally fired for making an adaptment to his historical house here in the netherlands
This video made me speed run all stages of grief except for acceptance, I felt my heart shatter when she replaced the beutiful spiral staircase with THAT.
I ran through all of the stages except each one just got Anger split back in between them.
Me too, this is torture to watch; why did I do this to myself?
Renovators be like: I own this painting from the early 16th hundreds. But it feels too old school, so I painted it white.
The word "minimalist" is just a fancy buzzword for "we did less so you have to pay us more"
Personally I enjoy minimalism for the reason of sensory problems I like not having much to look at or anything when stressed.
However minimalism the aesthetic is just to get people to pay more for less
As a Designer that's 100% true and sad
Or "We want to hide how boring we are by calling it minimalism."
The American version of minimalism is so cold and soulless. It's unforutnate because there are minimalist styles like Scandinavian that give you a clean, uncluttered interior that still has character and feels homey.
Those people have no idea what "minimalist" is, they confuse actually existing design style with ugly utilitarian nonsense due to lack of education in that field and too much of self-absorbtion. People should stop thinking they can renovate houses just because they did it in the sims and it looked satisfiable enough for them, or because "minimalism looks easy". Playing the game doesn't require actual knowledge or skills. Paint a picture looks easy, but it's not. They disconnected from reality and common sense, and they're doing harm. Very sad.(((
As a german with a father that's a professional craftsman, the "german smear" had him in tears and then showing his coworkers to maximize and share the suffering he experienced.
Der arme Kerl...
Mein Beileid...
...Are they emotionally okay?
I think if I showed it to my German grandfather if he was still around he might have jumped in his truck and committed a crime.
I need to see my doctor now. All these "flips" have nearly caused me a heart attack. The phrase "because you can doesn't mean you should" keeps going through my mind. 😅
Great video.
As a German who enjoys a good Schmier on their Vollkornbrot, I do not approve of that fireplace
i can't believe that woman said "this is our dream house" but then destroyed the most beautiful feature of the home with that staircase. i would kill to have such a gorgeous staircase and she just ripped it out with no remorse
dream house and the centerpiece got demoted to basic a... stairs
that's modern change for if you want to be part of the modern change you have to accept all of it whether it be good or bad
Yeah, their dream house that they sold, for a profit!
Let’s just hope that in the future when they move out the house is loving restored and made proud of its history again
She was just loving all white houses ....lord
The studio space one hurt the most. Literally took out the ONE thing any artist wants- storage space.
And they just used a random decal to replace it. Horrible that house was so beautiful
I have to say I agree.....that was ultimate goals for studio......
as an artist, can confirm !!! we need places to store our 10000000 unfinished pieces 😭
i wanted to cry when they took out that built in midcentury bookcase.... like why would you do that. it's so beautiful.
@@hiboudeluxeno kidding I actually did shed a tear cuz it was so beautiful I loved it and would love a house like that that hurt my heart.
I had to pause every TikTok “remodels” to not have a break down on how pretty the house looked before the remodels. lucky to say I wanted to cry.
This is literally the beetlejuice home renovation type shit I’m actually crying
Imagine your the person who built that house took sweat,tears,time,effort into building those beautiful designs and a instagram influencer ruins it by painting it into funeral ass colours
Edit:I don't wanna be that person but tysm for the likes😭💗
My eyes combined sweat and tears and I was about to accept that it took swears 😂😂
I do think some old houses do just need to be updated. But I hate flippers lol.
Like our first house we got (we didn't change anything and eventually sold it) but none of our furniture could just be brought in. We had to bring all of it threw the 2nd floor deck sliding doors.
HVAC was impossible to install without messing up the layout and cutting threw every wall. I was too tall and wide for every doorway etc.
It is what we could afford so just lived with it until we moved.
Apart from the fact that they're dead, they did it too! They too built and tore down stuff where older people said it's modern shlt.
Not to mention that those who built it with their own hands, not just as part of a job, likely just needed a roof. And those who did it for a living could afford nice homes for themselves.
I hate flippers, but really, if you're going to live in a house yourself and you don't want a wooden fireplace from a 70s church? Go cement over it. The original owner would have done the same in reverse, because personal taste.
Not only that bot also they usually end up in worse condition then if they were just left because modern stuff in housing just isn't as good as it used to be in leu of cost
@@lethfuilin my personal opinion, if you buy a house you're actually planning on settling down in , go ahead and make whatever renovations you want. You're the one who's living there. However, if you're buying old houses just to "flip" and resell them, and you're not just fixing stuff up so the house remains safe to live in, but completely destroying the unique charm of these homes, that's what pisses me off.
Bro they said it was their house, I thought they were going to LIVE IN IT. The moment they said that they sold it and are “onto their next flip” made me actually root for their downfall. Taking a perfectly good home and destroying it, while actively making hazards for the next poor victims living there feels like a crime. I mean, THE FOAM BEAM??? I was like “okay have fun dealing with that chandelier attached to a foam ass beam in the future” but then they pull a fast one and gtfo feels so dirty and wrong-
Yeah, foam beams are not meant to support anything. I have a a type of foam ceiling (it is pressed and painted/paintable to look like wood boards) that is suspended from the actual dry wall. (I hate popcorn ceilings and it was damaged so this was probably the least expensive way to do it.) And our ceiling fan and dining room chandelier are connected to the actual ceiling. (Medallions do wonders.) Unless it is structural, not strictly aesthetic, don't attach things to it.
They also got rid of a bunch of wooden lattices in the bedroom windows because they wanted to “brighten the place up”
This house is in Florida. Those were there to keep the temperature down.
Foam beam? You mean fire hazard
At least they posted their crimes on the internet! Let’s hope the people who bought it saw the videos!😬
FOAM. Fucking FOAM. In Florida. Do they even know the mold trap that beam is?????
It's almost like engagement is engagement and the algorithm doesn't know or care if that engagement is negative or not ...
When I become older I will renovate boring beige houses into the most enigmatic, magical, and colorful homes
"We inherited a 5 million dollar house played Bob the builder until we got bored and property values raised by 90k.
we're really hard workers who contribute to society and you guys are lazy"
Exactly what they’re giving and they Thought They Ate That 😬🤣
It's giving "I found $100,000 in the park by the swingset, invested it and turned it into $16,000"
@eloweez8798 tommy shriggly, is that you?
My thoughts exactly, the market got so crazy that you could buy a house, do nothing to it, and resell it months later for huge profit. That foam beam was not worth 90k 🤣
I'm a millennial and I absolutely HATE this type of renovation. Literally destroying something that is rare and unique and usually can't be brought back, just to make something cheap and common. Usually for profit. I'd be so beyond grateful to have what these renovators don't appreciate at all.
Fellow mellenial here, completely agree. Like the loss of that beautiful staircase makes me so sad.
@@Maidenstear god same, like after living in apartments my whole life I'd consider it my honor to cherish that staircase and house the way it deserves lol
I agree. I think it's because when we were growing up the 70s look was tacky and outdated. It's like fake wood paneling PTSD. Lol
I wouldn't even say paint is necessarily bad but they take out any life. If you absolutely have to paint something at least give it colour!
Gen alpha here, believe it or not. I just learned about this type of renovation and it sucks.
Ngl a lot of these dont even look bad afterwards
The white-painted kitchen and concrete fireplace look awesome even!
I showed my mom (a real estate agent, flipper, and HGTV watcher) this video and she was laughing, relating, and cringing the whole way through. She couldn't believe the foam beaming but she said she's seen crazier in the houses she had sold
as a german with no renovating experience, i think we can all agree that the fireplace looks like shit
They should have called a German smear job
german as well. They destroyed the look of the fireplace by using a (in germany) "poor-peaple-technique" (which they gave a name no german understands [I had to google it...]) Just so sad!
Why did they paint over the oak wood?! It really complements the walls and they just painted it grey?!?!
@@archs1ay3r3No, cement. The grey fireplace wasn’t paint she actually cemented it! Crazy!
@@Ruby_2470 That's even worse! I didn't have my volume all the way up.
I’m an artist, and them getting rid of the cool shelves that hold ART SUPPLIES in the ART STUDIO ROOM damaged my soul. Also if I lived there, I’d 100% paint over that hobby lobby looking design
I know right?! My potter heart died a little. Do these people not realize artists have TONS of supplies that require STORAGE?
I know right! I died watching what they did. Like at the very least put in shelving!
I thought they were gonna replace it with boring ikea shelves but it was so much worse
Those shelves _were_ art!
Even as a non artist
I COULD USE THOSE SHELVES
I have so many nicnacks, comics and toys that I would DIE to have those shelves 😅❤
When she says “why don’t you just buy a modern home instead of tearing up an old one” it’s because many of these old houses with character are way cheaper compared to these modern homes which is why many people who prefer the modern aesthetic buy the older homes and just remodel them.
I love how they started the fireplace video with saying that they want to make it look cottagecore while pointing the camera at the most cottagecore fireplace I have ever seen before completely ruining it.
the girl who painted over her GRANITE countertops in the kitchen that she was RENTING still haunts me to this day
She shall not get her deposit back. And should be fined
Soda blasting will get it off. It's still terrible though.
that's modern change if you want to be part of the modern change you have to accept all of it whether it be good or bad
Omg I have that same shelf in my room... Also housing my stuffed animals! ❤❤
That last little skit about Darla demolishing the bathroom wall just got me thinking these ppl need to play the Sims. They can do all the renovations they want there.
Maybe we should just introduce the sims 4 to all of these house flippers.
I was convinced Darla was going to talk about open bathroom being the new eroticism (it is real by the way. There is a craze to have open bathroom where you can watch your significant other wash and do other stuff from your bed. With all the moist of the shower going in the bedroom. I absolutely hate it)
They doooo
I’ve literally made open-concept bathrooms in The Sims 2 as a joke 😅
Omg my Sims house was 3 stories and each had a colour coordinated bathroom 😅 it also had a disco room/music room and a hot tub 😂 I wish I could see it again to see how ugly it probably was.
I need a word opposite of a Roman Empire. A thing I hate so much that any additional time it floats into my mind I get unbridled rage and deep despair.
That foam is going to deteriorate in about a year. Two if they're lucky.
Only reason I'd buy a minimalist "modern" house just to renovate it myself and make it as chaotic as myself
Real
I bought a house from 1905 that has been stripped of its charm. I really don’t know what to do with it, I’ve been so unsure how to make it better that I’ve been living with millennial greige walls and landlord white cakey painted trim and fixtures for like 8 months🫠 I love my house, but god someone really fucked up the interior.
@@moosetrap622MAKE IT COLORFUL
@moosetrap622 I am so happy that you were fortunate enough to buy an old house, I truly am, and I wish the best for you. But- and it breaks my heart to say this- a lot of that damage may be irreparable or just very expensive to replace. As a construction student (goodness I wish being an architect wasn't a financially risky move), I can say that a lot of things like safety codes have evolved over time and a lot of old materials and techniques are no longer available or even legal. Meanwhile, it's the crappy DIY flipper devastation that should be illegal because the structural integrity of things like the copper plumbing and wooden supports and brick veneers could have been compromised by something heavy or wet or weak that the flipper slapped on there because they didn't know any better.
Sorry to be such a downer. I do think there's still hope. Again, difficult and expensive (1905 electrical wiring sounds like Lovecraftian horror), but there are ways to mimic old aesthetics with new, up-to-code materials. Damaged things can be patched. It would be hard, but never impossible. Once again, I'm rooting for you and this house! You could be a hero to this generation! Good luck!
Yeah. I love chaotic stuff. I’d make a cozy hobbitcore place with a “dragon room”
German speaking up here: We don't claim the German Shmear. Never heard of or seen something like this here.
As a fellow German, I endorse this message!
And I wonder whether the word they were looking for was "schmier" ...
As a german: I agree
Im sure it wouldn't look too bad if they knew how to do it right, but they messed it up horribly and made it so god awfully ugly
Not a full German here: I am shocked and horrified. I was appalled by what they did to the fireplace. Disgusted even.
The fellow Germans agree
When that lady replaced those beautiful green(ish?) stairs with her own sight of "beautiful" stairs, my heart cried 😭
So she claimed to turn the house into a homey atmosphere for her family and then turned right around and sold it?
They called the fireplace “hobbitcore” like it’s a bad thing.
Right!! It would be such a dream to live in a hobbit hole ☺️
I had to stop for a minute and then shout, "Hobbitcore is still Cottagecore dippy!!!"
Right?!?! How dare she. How dare.
bro fr lotr's set design is so beautiful!!! also there this artist called chris scott sava and he has art studio which fits hobbitcore so real its beautifullllll
As a 5’ 1” (155 cm) tall Hobbit woman, I agree! I want more Hobbitcore features!!
Why do they want their houses to look like my apartment that I’m not allowed to modify?
right 😭😭😭😭
underrated comment 😭
easier to flip . . . :/
😮 omg soooo true , Never thought about it that way but.... True 😢
because they can then sell the "improved" home for 3 to 4 times more then they bought it for only for another flipper to buy it and ruin it more since the average person can no longer purchase homes in america
As a gen Zer my biggest fear is that by the time I could aford my dream house, all of the old beautiful homes will have been overmodernised and utterly destroyed
The part where u talked about the generational difference between the producers and consumers of the video hit so hard, u r completely right. Great video describing this trend :)
I love how the family with the stairs wanted it to be more “family friendly” and then replaced the stairs with a thin death trap with no railing
The old stairs were sooo magical and beautiful
All they had to do was rotate the stairs so they weren’t in the way
Instead choosing to just chuck the whole thing out,completely trashing the entire vibe they were probably going for anyway
I'm like 90% sure those spiral stairs were actually added in the 80s or something. There was a long post about it and people explained more why they ere getting rid of them. I'm also willing to bet that the new stairs they showed weren't finished.
@@MollysDevice Yes, they weren't finished.
However, unless they literally put those up to access the second story and then were going to entirely replace them... yeah no, give me an elegant spiral over some boring sideways ladder any day.
IM SORRY THE WAY THEY TURNED A PRETTY FIREPLACE INTO SOMETHING I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A MISTAKE AND CALL IT "A good final product" IS CRAZYY
I loved what they called "hobbit core"
Heck, I'd love anything hobbit core
It looks like they tried to mummify it and it came alive
I mean they succeeded in making it look ‘cottagecore’ yeah, the cottage from the 1850s that was a bakery for the peasants that got mortar randomly slapped on it to keep it going anytime a rock fell off……..
I can't get over the fucking foam "beam"
They’re allergic to any colour warmer than a pale grey
"HI HOW ARE YA?"
Yeah you hooked me
As someone who renovated their 1980s house, I was very staunch on keeping the beautiful original cabinet doors. Spent hours on my knees using a heat gun and paint scraper to remove the 3 layers of old paint on 40+ doors before painting them a nice blue to match the rest of the blue kitchen and new beautiful blue glass backsplash.
It kills me to see these people destroying things that are easily saveable when I spent hours shortening my life breathing in hot old paint fumes.
I studied woodwork for five years and as I learnt how difficult it is to make stairs I can tell you that the freaking beautiful stairs that this girl destroyed were a piece of art and my heart is bleeding now 💔
That staircase broke something in me. I would've done a more dark academia esthetic to embrace the houses' gorge wood tones. It was so well cared for.
Bfr, I can't believe they didn't put in a wide or grand staircase. They just threw a Sims starter staircase in the corner.
@@SaintShion
The Sims doesn't even Have spiral staircases
Rest in peace your happiness
Also like.... the new stairs are dangerous for the kids. These parents don't seem to care at all.
@@IrregularityRowan Im talking about the stairs they put up after they teared down the spiral stair case.
Seeing that beautiful princess bathroom being destroyed marked the death of my inner 5-year-old. And then there was the flippers who turned the real 70's house...into a themepark version of a 70's house. It's like they are so used to mockery that they'd rather have that than the REAL THING!!! AND WHY DO THEY ALL SOUND LIKE THEY'RE THE SAME WOMAN ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS???!!!!
The ripping out of that corner bathroom made me audible gasp. I want that bathroom
I cried seeing that
‘Tis the “36 year old white influencer” accent at its finest.
@@TotallynotredtailBAHAAH
ONG THOUGH
I'm not German, but my mom watched this home renovation show (the houses looked better after luckily) and that fireplace looks like what it would look like halfway threw the renovation
4:49 I'm glade I watched this first before sharing it to my mom
As someone who lives in a place with a lot of beautiful victorian town houses I hate flippers, they see original stained glass, sash windows, wood carved fascia boards, elegant fire places and stunning hand made plaster work and rip it all out to be replaced with the cheapest plastic windows and plastic board, they'll paint everything white, then replace a nice garden with asphalt and fake grass, split it into flats and then just sell it for a extra 100,000 and therefore locals can not afford anywehere in the town.
Renovating Victorian houses should be a WARCRIME against humanity, like you ruined a work of historical art.
"In their rational self intrest" - Ayn Rand
I would literally rather have thousands of those victorian houses than any of those weird, blank 'hotel lobby' houses flippers always seem to leave behind..
For example my flat is a beautiful Edwardian brick property and I have even have a turret, where I can sit and watch the world go by. However, it's had the landlord special, all the Fireplaces have been removed, the plaster work has been covered over by Wood chip, there is no garden anymore. I can see a slither of the original plaster work between a banister and it is gorgeous it has these panels with Greek style vases and Beeding made of plaster flowers along the edge. They haven't bothered to remove anything from past so I have 3 different plug types going back to the 1930s. Random wires all of the place and the taps have been put on backwards and the cheapest doors I have ever seen. The staircase is luckily original however has random paint marks and lots of scuff marks. The wood fascia boards, with beautiful detailing are also original but falling apart but I don't want to say anything as I'm too scared they'll take them off and replace then with plastic.
@@ravelterthetraveler in a heartbeat
A group of flipper nutsacks destroyed my late grandparents' 103 year old house. When my aunt sold it to them, they promised to respect the house and preserve it's vintage appeal and then immediately did the complete opposite. They gutted it and it is now a minimalist, sterile looking, blinding white nightmare. Actually made me ill.
that’s so horrific omfg😭😭😭 i feel so bad for her
They should be send to jail for that, shame on them.
That's very unfortunate. This is only somewhat related, but I read the book "Isprinsessan" (in English: The Ice Princess) by Camilla Läckberg, and the main character is afraid of her childhood home being sold by her sister and her sister's mean husband. I can totally understand why, now. More so than I already did understand.
that's just sad
Literally had the same thing for my grandparents house. They even took down all of the TREES, like they were perfectly healthy fruit trees that my grandad grew himself and they were all gone in under a week.
As an artist watching these those people destroy that fireplace and remove that beautiful wooden shelf wall for a basic corporate blend print crushes me inside a little, legit teared up
the 'improvements' i hate the most is when they get a hammer and turn a perfectly safe, clean, well looked after glass hand rail and turn it into a read-to-burst, ugly, mess of a shattered panes ruining the whole image of the staircase.
seeing that pink bathroom with the columns being destroyed KILLED ME. those roses were so cute.
i died on the inside for that one-- it was the exact type of bathtub i would've loved to have in my house!! seeing the columns knocked down and the tub painstakingly ripped out felt like i was getting shot and stabbed at the same time 😭😭
That's the sort of bathtub that would make you feel like a princess every time you stepped into it. RIP beautiful corner princess tub 😢
I rebuilt that corner tub in the Sims because i was so mad they destroyed it 😂
I'm not going to lie I genuinely cried during that T-T
i straight up screamed i’m not even joking. i’d pay any price for a bathroom like this (js maybe different color than pink) and this woman smashed it to pieces with a hammer like it’s nothing…..no words
I could NEVER. The original 1940’s-ish hardwood floors were one of the reasons we love our current house. 😭
I have my parents original wood log cabin and I will NEVER sell it for as long as I live. I thank god every day for it lol.
That one fireplace went from “community church” to “modern recently built church”. I can’t be the only one who sees it
I didn't know you did full videos! Keep up the good work.
Also It's scary how you can transform yourself into a mid 40s white mom who hates herself but won't admit it. Omg it just hit me... You made yourself into the houses... From an interesting person to a bland npc of a human...
the ppl who removed that BEAUTIFUL staircase caused me physical pain
And the bathroom had me CRYING
AND THE POOR INNOCENT STAINED GLASS 😭😭😭
Someone should be slapped for this abomination.
And the wood panelling!
like they just ruined the masterpiece, if they had the money to rip out those faboulus stairs than they had the money to buy a house ith the stairs that they wanted
That staircase was so beautiful and elegant. Instead they destroyed it and put in the most bland staircase i've ever seen.
And the new staircase is arguably less family friendly than the first one. The slat design is basically asking for a kid to slip on the way down, get their foot hooked under a slat and end up with a twisted ankle.
i GET WHY they removed it
BUT THEY CHOSE THE WORST ALTERNATIVE ;-;
The staircase now looks really cheap, these people arent capable of more than mixing white with white and following current catalogues
The new staircase also probably wasn't finished when they showed it. The wall certainly wasn't
My favorite was "this staircase is in the way and is visible from every doorway"....so they took it out and put an UGLIER staircase IN THE SAME PLACE.
I thought maybe they were gonna knock down even more wall and make the kitchen twice the size/open plan but NOPE. They just murdered a beautiful staircase.
(re: 8:01) The "all-white house" image reminds me of that one episode of the comedy Absolutely Fabulous where the main character visited Betina and Max's house, which was completely white to the point where you couldn't distinguish the furniture from the walls, and Betina says, "Max, have you seen [my jewellery collection]?... It's in a _white_ box." Cue all the characters getting on their hands and knees, feeling around to try and find it, lmao. I'm amazed that Ab Fab's parody was so close to the reality of that 8:01 photo.
As an artist those shelves could have been used for like… space to keep supplies or even display smaller art pieces 😭😭😭
I SCREAMED when I saw that woman ripping out that gorgeous bathtub with pillars to make 2 normal sized bathrooms.
and when they took out the sink with beautiful flowers all over! it's been a while since I was physically pained by a video.
Ooh my goodness 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I don’t have a great sense of interior design but even I gasped with utter horror when I saw it. Groaning “oh noooooooooo”
@@MattieAMiller EXACTLYYY, it was so beautiful WHY would they do that omg
@@thiccratkween Because they are boneheaded morons with no taste
OMG! One has to understand why a house is built a certain way. People with this style of Victorian house did not want their guests to see the family areas unless you were very close friends or entertaining in the “garden”. It was considered bad form for guests to see your messy family areas. That staircase was so expensive crafted by skilled craftsmen to replaced by a cheap, tacky staircase built by amateurs! This is so painful to see happen.
I thought that the replacement staircase would at least still be a craftsman style one, just straight, but I was shocked to see the basic bland thing they went with, it felt like it was some temporary staircase sitting there until the real one would be put in.
Agreed! The staircase was an architectural beauty! It didn’t have a newel (pole in the middle) and it wasn’t just connected to the walls (unlike the “modern” stairs that were put in). That’s not easy to build!! Especially since the house was built so long ago, so with older tools!
Seeing it destroyed made me want to scream at the lady! That staircase was the centerpiece of the whole foyer! It was beautiful!
Its pretty much a prone ladder 😭
@@GenericUsername1100 I actually thought it was a temporary one 😅
I don't know what I did to the TH-cam Gods to get your channel recommended to me 4 days ago. But I am so thankful . I love you're channel and your content. I've laughed so much these past few days thanks to you. You're so incredibly awesome and super funny. And thank you ..

Wait, so the people who were like "You can criticize me all you want but it's MY house!" weren't even buying it to live in it, they were buying it to sell it to someone else?! Hooooly shit.
That makes it even more sad 😢
"We love it sooo much, this is literally going to be our dream home, we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives raising our family here!"
six months later: "omg sold our house yay!!"
Someone should make a counter video and utterly replace and “modify” what these flippers do.
Give ‘em a taste of their own medicine! Hopefully they learn to step away from their bad taste 😈
@@Kirramagicwouldnt do anything because they’re doing it for attention not for actual criticism or else theyd care that they get so much hate
@@kentuckysmoose Yeah, I guess? But it would make me feel better, at least! Splashing colour over what they bleached and ruined!
How is that flipper defending herself by saying, “we’re just building our “dream home”” to only sell it the next minute? I thought she said she’s build her “dream home” for her family? Unless, IF she believes what she is saying then what a Narcissist to think that “This is MY dream home, hence this is YOUR dream home too! Let me sell this devalued piece of garbage to you for more than what it’s worth…” 😑
Right? Like, why do you care how much you made on it if you re-sell it if it's your "dream" home? Also, her dreams are bland and boring.
Don't forget that they're renovating it for their "Growing family" too, that wont live in it.
We had a flipper in our street. They lie a lot. It keeps the neighbours happy while they do their thing.

I just love your videos, they crack me up. You're so on point with your comments.
Tbh, the overmoderization of houses makes the world seem rlly dull, were only here for a limited time, why not have fun with our houses instead of making them aesthetically appealing :(
People don't see the emotional, and sentimental value in a house. They only see it as a way to produce income. Not everyone would want a spiral staircase, but many people can work with a straight one. It's incredibly sad and shows that houses aren't seen as a right, but a luxury and source of income.
They are not making them aesthetically appealing tbh
Really fits the trend of making remakes of popular movies and completely butchering them. That's about as modern as it gets.
The grey and dull ones aren’t aesthetically pleasing they’re just nothing of course nothing works with nothing of course nothing clashes. But nothing may look ‘clean’ but not nice. You’re right if we’re only here for a limited time so instead of making nothing your impact could be so much by having a personality and colour even if it’s doo doo it’s not dull!.
FR
It sucks because by the time i can afford a victorian house the inside will be mindless, stripped of everything that made it special
It will be a structure and a structure alone. The inside will be so white that you’ll walk into the walls. Sorry bud. Also your profile name being soot sprite makes my inner ghibli fan go crazy.
and to find such victorian furniture now is either expensive, it no longer exists or it was painted white
legit. btw my home is old ( not victorian ) like 1970's but the bedrooms have a camo patterened floor and pee coloured walls. is that something you would keep? 😭
@@zxoe Nobody said that designers of the past were infallible. Only that flippers are giving every home 'The Landlord Treatment", taking out everything unique and painting it white.
