    Weird staging, tho. Hardly any sitting in the living room and the second room should have had some type of small dining table.

    Re; the plantings. Those plants are a mix of annuals and perennials. And TENDER perennials at that. So a large portion of them will not survive for very long, and could be dead in a week, depending on sunshine/shade and water. Don't throw away money on plants unless you know what you are buying and where it will go - make sure it's suited for the climate and location.

      At least they didn’t completely remove the tub and make it into a shower only space. I’ve seen this done in many so-called renovations. I would never buy a house without a bathtub but each to their own. This house might look pretty on video but can you imagine living in a house without curtains or blinds. Fishbowls come to mind…

      @WBCRO 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Whenever I see open shelving in a kitchen I just think how much extra washing the items on those shelves will require. No matter how good a stove vent is, there will be airborne grease from cooking. The shelving is a trend that looks good but makes little sense from a functional standpoint.

    The only way the painting could cost $1,000 is for the owners to do the painting themselves. Paint alone would cost about $200-$400.

      Normally I'd agree, but you can see at least two different colors of hardwood when they lifted the existing floors. Maybe they couldn't make it work within budget and had no choice but to paint them.
