I actually liked the before also, even though it's not really my style. This house was so clean and uncluttered. I love it both before and after! And the couple seem so nice, and willing to do what they need to do to sell it.
I like the before and it is my taste. :)
Actually don't think it didn't sell because of house, but because of the owners outfits and styles personally. I bet if they both changed into less dramatic outfits it be a really different story or were never seen use real estate agent only.
@@karencarpenter5845 It's rare to ever see the sellers.
@@karencarpenter5845 You normally never even see the owners if there are realtors involved.
Among all the videos in the series, this is the first time I was thinking, "What's wrong with the original house?"
I guess our home style has changed since 2008. If we strip off the red, we'll get used with monochromatic color like minimalistic style nowadays has.
I think the main thing was the 'harsh' impression. The kitchen Reno was probably the best one, and maybe painting the walls. But lots of plants, and adding some neutral colors to soften the bold would have done the trick.
I can't for the life of me see anything wrong with the original, other than the reds and the lack of prep space in kitchen...
Their house looks so much better than the other house...
Lovely couple btw.
This is the first house I've ever seen on this show where I loved the "before" and would have moved in as-is.
Loved it before, like it after. TBH it was the kitchen that was letting it down before. Nice couple with cool taste. Hope that it was sold real quick.
Their house was awesome before, they just needed a new kitchen and a facelift on the outside.
True
This reminds me of our decor in 1969! Honestly, it was wonderful, stylish, easy to keep clean. 50 some years later, I honestly wish we could have it again! I am so sorry these zippy young people couldn't sell their house with their own stylish decor. I love it!
What a clean, beautiful house.
How can anything so tame be called "Rock N Roll'?
This video is so outdated. The colour scheme is on point for 2020's.
These guys decor was ahead of their time - grey is such an in colour right now!
This is the episode that really dates the series. In 2008 people wanted sage and mocha. In the intervening years, gray is all the rage. We've just changed one "neutral" for another. Watching in 2021, I feel that all they needed to do was soften the black-white-red slightly and fix the cramped kitchen. The "example" kitchen was country and blue with 80s cabinets - today, people would run away screaming. Then they were shown a country and red dining room, which Sophie has criticised often. So this particular episode is quite comical in 2021.
That house is actually not bad, except the kitchen, probably that's the reason it's not sold. It's not even a kitchen it's a pantry.
The house she took them to for an example was horrible. Generic furniture, laminate countertops, and a giant dish cabinet in a blood red dining room? Where in the world do buyers prefer that?
Their house looks perfect. Maybe their market is just slow
Would have bought the house in its original state
I agree! The owners have excellent style .
I would rather their house, than first one house this lady was showing this lovely couple.
This is an old video... no problem selling that in today's style
Exactly. The couple were ahead of their time interior style wise
The original style was far more sophisticated.
I bought a historic house that the previous owners were making contemporary with remodeling and decor. Didn’t fit the property at all. We were able to see past what they had done and knew it had a ton a potential to make into our dream house. There were no neutral colors, bathroom was pea green, wall papered with ducks and whales….yet we still bought it immediately. I don’t get all theses”people can’t see past it”!
I really like their modern decorating, and it’s very mature for those who like bold colors.
I can't understand why there were unable to sell a house. It seemed cleaned, well-maintained and nicely decorated. It is one of few houses that regardless of small kids living there is clean and declutter. Kitchen was small but come on! A mother of two is fine. I am European and maybe this is why I don't understand why Americans need gargantuan kitchens.
This one struck a wrong note for me. The idea of the couple being "different" was overplayed. They're lovely and open minded, with a unique but certainly not wild style, and their house was beautiful and well taken care of. The constant statements about their less sophisticated style were offbase; their style was actually more sophisticated, not less. The kitchen improvements were nice though. Maybe a smaller fridge would have opened it up a bit more too? Regardless, I hope this couple is still out there expressing their own style somewhere today!
The comparable house was
U G L Y
Anthony Sayers deserves his own show
The other house was horrible, all I can see is the amount of 80s kitchen units you have to take out what a mess. I would have taken the other house in particular with the lovely pool.
Okay what??! The house is so beautiful with the unique modern style. It's weird that it sold out fast. Anyway love what Anthony done with the kitchen, brilliant!
I love their decor it was better than what Sophie did.
I prefer their unsellable house to the other home Sofie showed them.
What a lovely couple
Instead of covering pillars why not take out those 2 pony walls altogether & open the space up like people like?? It makes no sense to me.
Because they would have to replace all the flooring. And maybe install a beam.
i would buy the original house - can't figure why people can't project themselves with their furniture in a house - some of those beige/grey interiors they present in the renos all look the same and very boring ..
Lovely transformation.
It was absolutely spotless and so cheap, compared to houses here. It was only the kitchen holding them back in my opinion.
They were definitely ahead of their time with their tastes but I loved it, especially the black bannister.
Totally agree with the comments, it's a cute house.
The cracked driveway is a problem. It's something that buyers could potentially spend a couple of thousand dollars on, depending upon how they repair it. Before we sold our house, we repaired the driveway and several people commented that other driveways in the area looked like they were crumbling, but ours looked new. Houses in the neighborhood were approximately 25 years old at the time, so it was no surprise that many of the driveways were crumbling. At my parents' house, which was 10 years older than ours, loose bricks in the stairs created a hazard. My parents had the stairs repaired and the rail replaced and it made a big difference.
The original house numbers were the home's best feature.
I really liked the house before it was done, I felt it was very sellable except for the kitchen, I felt the kitchen was so much better after
So in 2008 grey wasn't an "in" colour and they repainted it beige. I'll bet a few years later it was repainted again - grey.
So acid green and red is more sophisticated than black and red? Really!! Why do they spend soo much on drapery
It’s the pool. In Canada??
My biggest issue, was that the new kitchen cabinets don’t match the old ones, so it looks haphazard, and like it was an afterthought. 🤦🏼♀️
Your house is lovely, it looks spotless inside and out, your taste is not my taste but things are done well.
I agree about not enough room in kitchen, but the rest is okay any thing needed done is just the buyers preference ? The comparable house is bland !!! Paint color in dining room ??
Their house is bright !! Other place is uninspiring !!
One thought is not everyone wants a pool ? The upkeep is expensive , first time homeowners might not want that expense !!
The designer was way off on this one. She showed a near by house that was more cluttered and 90’s style with red walls, the grey walls are in everywhere now. She had no vision. Outside did need new curb appeal.
13 years ago grey walls were not in vogue unless you had great taste. I agree that the '90's house with the red walls was awful even 13 years ago and would be a complete no no today.
Why did they blur her necklace? 😂🤣
Wrong ur house is fabulous
calling the new decor 'more adult' is so insulting lol
The original decor was much more sophisticated. The redo was really "dumbing down" in order to sell to a less trendy set of buyers.
I have seen her changing the looks of the houses she has shown to owners as the sold one .As they were being too boring And making them look like theirs except for the red .All it needed was to change red . Their was so beautiful neat and tidy . I loved it before. But the kitchen add ons were good
This show is from 2008...the economy crashed in 2008...gee, I wonder why it wasn't selling?
why do they blur so many things in this series?
It bothers me, too.
The supposedly better house also had red curtains and bedspread, and those crimson dining room walls were ugly.
Who wants a dark red dining room?
Tons of people between 2000 and 2008. Lol.
WHY is Christina’s necklace blurred??? 😳😳😳
Aaah, I see it now. It’s a machine gun of some sorts.
Well… that’s strange.. 🤔
I can't figure out why they always blur the artwork on the walls. I mean, if they are photographs of family members who don't want their faces on tv, I get it, but they even blur commercial art. It bugs me; I want to see the art!
I think it's to do with artists and privacy laws
Crazy … what was wrong before ????
Ken?
I heard that name, too, at the end. Who's Ken???
It my be 8 years old program
They are a cute Gothic couple.
I might be wrong. But that realty estate agent looks bored.
That 69 address number alone would sell to me 😂
I was just waiting for someone to mention that...
Ok...if you're going to do modern, the facade of the house is boring and the railing is boring. The kitchen is too small. I would have had an interior designer really do it up. The pool had ME at hello. I would have bought it. Done!
OMG women you use that ugly green color in every home why.
NOT rock & roll. Punk.
Canada has such boring architecture.
Mediocre at best and your feet?
Hi Sofie, you are such a pretty woman, where did you find that ugly stripy dress that looks like a circus tent? Man that dress is so loud I can't hear you!
Funny, but I loved the colors in that dress!!
