I think the kitchen cabinets should have stayed and just add more and put the knobs in the middle. That really gave the kitchen character and personality! I loved seeing that!!❤❤❤
If they are like my old ones, they were built in place and couldn't be taken out in sections. They wouldn't fit another kitchen and the labour to rebuild them would cost more than they are worth. Mine are not standard sizes, have small internal shelves, don't go to the ceiling (dust catchers!) and the base cupboards have no bottoms inside them (the pots and pans sit on the floor!). The drawers are stiff to pull out. They have coats of old chipped paint. I could go on...
I don't know what the market is like there, but where I live some nice staging and sprucing up the outside would have sold that house. I hate painted wood floors! I have them in my bedrooms and I'd rather see imperfect wood than paint.
I really, really resent when old kitchens are just mindlessly smashed up - instead of gently dismantling them. Either to give to charity or to resuse the matrials elsewhere. A big ‘shame on you’ to the team for that. Sorry folks.
Unfortunately, a lot of these homes were built with materials that contain lead or asbestos. So while it would be great to donate these materials for reuse, it's just not that easy at times.
@@fragout9575 There are plenty that are salvageable though. I'm not sure how to properly handle cabinets that contain asbestos, but I've heard it's fine as long as it's not peeling. So even if the paint contained asbestos, there still might have been a way to salvage these. Maybe??
@@VioletJoy I'm sorry if my explanation wasn't clear. Asbestos was used in some flooring materials and siding and wraps around HVAC duct work. Lead paint was used in most homes built before the early 70s. When a lot of these homes are being renovated, they have to test a lot of these materials if it's suspected to be lead based paint or asbestos and they have to be removed by special methods. Yes, in some cases, if you are careful, you can remove items that have been painted over lead based paint. Asbestos, can't be removed by the average homeowner. That is why I said it's difficult to keep some items for reuse. Especially items that are specifically apart the original structure prior to the early 70s in SOME homes. Hope that helps.
Looks lovely. But ppl pay a fortune for their hedges to hide them from the road, dont understand why thats a bad thing. also cant get on board with painting the wooden floors... it just always feel like its hiding something (in this case, old and need a resand very soon)
Kitchen knobs in the middle were a tend in to 70's. My mother's kitchen had had the pulls in the middle. To me, you took the house and removed it's character. You had tress ripped out rather than trimmed back. This was never an unsellable house. This was an real estate agent who had no clue how to sell a house.
Love everything...except that the breakfast nook seating is directly backed up into the windows?! You won't be able to lean back - you might break the windows.
minimal items would look better. Sorry but clutter is not inviting... Attention to detail is vital. Ancient hardwood flooring upstairs means noisy downstairs and there is already traffic noise in front. I think the high bushes was to reduce the noise from traffic...
Big job! Nice kitchen and details. I can't imagine that painted floors are really as durable as finished hardwood, and if they weren't going to replace the rough sections, a little wood filler might have been nice. I don't understand the wall unit surrounding the entrance door. I think there was a missed opportunity to make the family room look more multi-functional. A kids play corner, a desk, a pool table, reading area... something more than just a great expanse between couch and chairs. The main suite looks nice, but I wish there was backsplash over the sink.
550 could not sell, did the renovation for 100. So now it's 650... Sell for 675, so only 25 is a profit. How could you tell it's 125? You spend 100 4 reno. ??? Plus they need to pay for designers and other. Closing costs etc. Hum....😕
EXACTLY. I guess the point is IT $sold. it does look so trendy...that's just the way the tv shows are. Change trends and show it on tv increases sales of the NEW trendy thingys. NO thanks, I like traditional and classic and RELIABLE stuff.
I would’ve put carpet over the upstairs wood floors instead of PAINTING them! 🥺 That way the buyer can more easily restore the wood floors properly if they do choose one day.
How exactly do you guys paint over Anything and Everything!?!? And have it hold up? I'm a landlord that really needs to know your trick! Love your channel! Your ideas are extraordinary. And cheap! I love you guys😍😍😍
Colour is a huge part of the success of this renovation. I find the show moves a little too quickly to really focus in on the changes made and the reasons.
I have a hard time seeing past all of the knick knacks. There are always toooooooo many!!! It's completely overwhelming to every home. It actually detracts from the charm of the house. Otherwise, it looks really nice. I don't mind the painted floors upstairs, but it will be noisy. The color is meh.
Horrible useless nic knacks everywhere… makes all the spaces look crowded and smaller. Less stuff would create a more open and expansive sense in this home
They talk like it's a life or death situation, like millions of people are going to die if the house isn't redone well. On the positive side, they have great enunciation!
No foyer?? Hate the painted floors upstairs - I guess the colour is just too much for me. Yuck!!! Too much staging for me. I am looking at their stuff and not imaging how my furniture and belongings would fit in. What they did was mostly cosmetic, except for the kitchen. Surprised that they never recycle anything - just smash everything. Too bad!!! The exteroir of the house is still not very appealing to me - but don't really know what they could have done.
Have you not heard of recycling? My gosh, please stop destroying perfectly good cabinets…not cool! The Restore would love your donations. Love your channel, but this is so wasteful and ends up in the landfill.
Lyndsay If you Want to Send Money VW Cars You Are Dump You Don't Have Anything New for 2023 you. only Have 3 Season Why Have it Done More That Would be Great
The floor plan is so chopped up and dated. I hate painted floors. Even when done the “right way” they always look awful in a few years. I like that they just trimmed up the trees instead of cutting them down
I think the kitchen cabinets should have stayed and just add more and put the knobs in the middle. That really gave the kitchen character and personality! I loved seeing that!!❤❤❤
All the knick knacks makes it appear crowded. IMO never paint wood floors if you can refinish and stain. The value over time is better.
It KILLLLLLLS ME to see sledge hammer on good clean kitchen cabinets. Donate or resell cheap.
My heart breaks every time I see that. It happens on almost every reno show.. It's a very lazy way to remove cabinets. 😭

Love these ladies but I wish some things could be salvaged. Those kitchen cabinets were solid wood.
That's my thought as well. Wood can be upcycled in so many ways.
They need to partner with local wood workers to salvage such items.
I really, really resent when old kitchens are just mindlessly smashed up - instead of gently dismantling them. Either to give to charity or to resuse the matrials elsewhere. A big ‘shame on you’ to the team for that. Sorry folks.
My sentiments exactly...
Totally agree .. hurts to watch it! ☹️

More Unsellable Houses videos please!! Love them!!

What a gorgeous home! So jealous of the lady of the house.
Love everything...except that the breakfast nook seating is directly backed up into the windows?! You won't be able to lean back - you might break the windows.
If you need to lean back maybe sit in one of the chairs? It’s not much different than sitting on a stool or bench.
The interior is fabulous, but I wish they would've put more effort in the exterior.
this turned out really good. the duo did an amazing, marvelous, fantastic job. i love it.

These girls are super talented.
Agree about the waste of reusable items.
Who paints hardwood floors? Just... why?
Another super video, thank you! The window seat in the kitchen needs a 3-4" box cushion, in a complementary fabric, w a zipper for removal to wash it.
BEAUTIFUL HOME!GREAT JOB!

They’re addicted to pillows!

That way the buyer can more easily restore the wood floors properly if they do choose one day.
So glad they kept the charm of the house.
Great show. They always make lots of money for their clients. Have a blessed day. Oh yea, they love their Volkswagens.
Beautiful transformation
PAINTING the hardwood floors???? 😳
They're flipping the house for quick sale, not planning on living there. But yes, I agree.
This house turned out amazing! I wish I could live there! Can you post links to the furniture used to stage it?
Awesome job ladies ✌️🍷🖤
How exactly do you guys paint over Anything and Everything!?!? And have it hold up? I'm a landlord that really needs to know your trick! Love your channel! Your ideas are extraordinary. And cheap! I love you guys😍😍😍
the twins are maximalist in the decor . but the renovation are very nice and great material
Would have like to see more done outside for more curb appeal.
Are you really sisters? I’m new to this show. Love it!
Amazingly beautiful!
To much stuff
Wow! Wow! I identify as the owner of this house. Ladies! Wow!
I would think painting wood floors would not be a great idea. Wouldn't the paint chip from all the traffic?
There is special paint for floors that is extremely durable and can even resist the elements outside.
I love the paintings in the bedrooms. Where can I get them?
The house looked perfectly fine before (even the kitchen, just move the knobs). I think it just needed exterior work to be sellable.
Volume isn't right
Colour is a huge part of the success of this renovation. I find the show moves a little too quickly to really focus in on the changes made and the reasons.
Sad that the cabinets weren’t taken down and sent to a reuse centre.
The work is good but the real estate in that area is insane
Not a fan of the kitchen/bathroom floor tile the rest is pretty
agree. in 5 years people will be shaking their heads asking who thought this was a good idea hahaha. Too trendy in my opinion.
I love the kitchen and bathroom floors. To each his own.
@@brg2743 The tile pattern was possibly reminiscent of Craftsmen Home finishes.
It is so HGTV decorated.
I actually love this house as is. I'd just clean it up and do repairs.
Dream come true
Nice job but those floors look like listening to christmas carols 365 days a year.
THIS I liked!
I like the color scheme but the just have too much clutter. They always over accessorize.
Very heavily decorated
I have a hard time seeing past all of the knick knacks. There are always toooooooo many!!! It's completely overwhelming to every home. It actually detracts from the charm of the house.

Why waive inspection? Hate the painted floors! Hate that the kitchen cabinets were destroyed! They could be repurposed. Did like bathroom changed.
Paint on hardwood floors???? No!!!!😑
I would love if did classes. I would bring the wine
They talk like it's a life or death situation, like millions of people are going to die if the house isn't redone well. On the positive side, they have great enunciation!
Floor too busy
Asbestos siding?
Spend less and still sell = more profit
No foyer?? Hate the painted floors upstairs - I guess the colour is just too much for me. Yuck!!!

Way too many things everywhere. Looks like a decor shop...
it looked like a Pinterest board. and not in a good way. she kept saying character. but it was just plants and shit
People have ZERO imagination when it comes to houses.
I do not ever see a big difference in any of their makeovers.
It still looks like an old house
I'd rather pay less for a house and paint and redecorate myself.
Be cheaper to just hire a stager.
Have you not heard of recycling? My gosh, please stop destroying perfectly good cabinets…not cool! The Restore would love your donations. Love your channel, but this is so wasteful and ends up in the landfill.
Your staging is soooo over done... please stop it. !!!

Gosh I’m sorry but both of those women’s voices are so annoying
The floor plan is so chopped up and dated. I hate painted floors. Even when done the “right way” they always look awful in a few years. I like that they just trimmed up the trees instead of cutting them down
Where are the black people on this show?
I don't think many live in the state they're in.
